geoff_t 0 Posted June 20, 2010 HelloLong time member here, more of a watcher than a poster though. I was a season ticket holder between 1990 and 1995 before moving up to Sheffield, I make the trip down to Carrow Road for the odd home game each season, and do all the away games within 90mins drive or so from here..... anyway, my question is what to expect from pre-season away games?? Lincoln on July 28th will be first ever pre-season game as City never seem to play any close enough to me normally. Lincoln only being 1hr 20mins drive from me I thought I''d give this one a go though. Will there be many in attendance with it being a Weds night?? Will any one from this board attend??ThanksGeoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheffield uni Canary 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I''m tempted to go, and wouldn''t thought many from Norwich will turn up though. Maybe around 200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted June 20, 2010 Count me and my dad in [Y] It will be my first one also, and from what I''ve heard about them it will just be like watching a Sunday kick-about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrimmage 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I don''t know really, I may go and from Lambert''s point of view, surely you''re going to get your team to work hard as if it was a standard league match to increase match fitness diring the close season? I can''t see him being happy with his players going out there and playing as if it''s a game down the park with a few mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam NCFC 0 Posted June 20, 2010 There is ALOT of Norwich fans in Lincoln. I think there will be a few there [:)] Don''t try and park near the ground, it''s near a load of houses and it''s impossible to park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howson is now! 0 Posted June 20, 2010 Me and three mates are going from Norwich. Lincoln''s a great place and would bee good to see Sutton in action as a manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted June 20, 2010 There is a big group of us going, think about 6 from Lincoln Uni! Should be a laugh, even though it doesnt really mean anything... just a nice chance to see the new boys in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted June 20, 2010 Does anyone know if they have away segregation''s at these games or is it away fans/home fans mixed? Thanks [Y] [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I think people up in the area will go, but the fans who live in norwich will give it a miss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted June 20, 2010 They''ll be a few there from the Norwich area with I''m sure the away contingent significantly increased by Norwich fans from the North having a look!I''m tempted but friendlies are only friendlies afterall and I may have to save my pennies for competitive games!

geoff_t 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I would have thought with it being just a week and a bit before the start of the season that we should be putting out pretty much the starting line-up for the Watford game. Definitely looking forward to seeing some of the new signings in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I''m currently studying at Lincoln Uni and it''s safe to say we have our fair share of fans in and around Lincoln and I''d expect a fair few fans to show up if the tickets are on the cheap.Agree with a previous post, don''t try and find parking near Sincil Bank as it''s pretty much slap bang in the middle of a residential area, better off at one of the multi stories near Newland.

The common for people that don''t know... - As you come down the hill past the speed camera (which is the way sat nav will take you from Norwich, through Bracebridge Heath) It''s just at the bottom of the hill, on the right. It''s a big muddy field. [y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted June 20, 2010 I evidently haven''t explored my educational city enough yet Adam haha cheers though, this info will come in handy for the future I am sure :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam NCFC 0 Posted June 20, 2010 Lol there''s not that much to know mate! But having a season ticket I have to drive to Norwich every other weekend, so I know the route too well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
