Advantages: Good views from all areas of the stadium, Delia's cooking

Disadvantages: Sometimes the players can let the fans down. Idiots throwing their season ticket at the manager...

Ah, Carrow Road... how I miss you. There's nothing like standing through 90 minutes in the icy Norfolk wind and rain on a December evening to watch a Norwich City victory first-hand. Sure, the canaries have fallen on hard times lately (as anyone that went to watch the Colchester game at the start of the season will attest to. And even though we were 5-0 down when Cody McDonald scored to make it 5-1, the cheers still took the proverbial roof off).

Although the days of Carrow Road being a fortress where the opposition feared to play have passed, it is still a highly atmospheric stadium, and unlike some stadia there are no pillars to obscure your view of the pitch. If you've paid to watch a match, then you can watch the entire match, without steel roof supports blocking your view of half the pitch.

If you're an away supporter visiting Carrow Road, you'll be seated in the Jarrold stand (the photo above shows the Jarrold under construction, the photographer's standing in the Barclay end).

Oh, and if you do vist, make sure you sample Delia's pies at half time, and bring £3 to buy a match program.

Summary: Good food, good views, good team (sometimes), good day out.
