Advantages: Good facilities, good parking, views
Disadvantages: poor away fans seating, the team!
Being an avid fan of the canaries I couldn't think of anyone better to write the first review of this, my second home for most of the past 20 years! I've seen the ground improvements stage by stage over the last few years and for most part they have been good. Both end stands are very similar in size and house the majority of the fans. The main stand (right side of the picture) is quite modern although most fans would agree, too small. The West stand opposite is a decent size but now on it's last legs and hopefully be replaced soon. Unfortunately, that's where you away fans are now located (you may want to bring a brolly in case the roof starts to leak! The views from just about every part of the ground are excellent and are in good close proximity to the pitch. The away fans section is also right next to the hardcore home fans which usually leads to lots of 'friendly' banter and a good atmostphere. Access to the ground is fairly easy with lots of parking facilities nearby. The ground is signposted all the way from the new stretch of the A47 bordering the city. Can't miss it! Prices for tickets remain quite competative compared to other teams in the division with frequent offers on some matches. Facilities within the ground are known to be excellent with many of the function rooms and meals rivaling top restaurants. This is probably largely due to the influence of our director, the one and only Delia Smith. The pies have improved too, that's the main thing. To sum up, the ground is modern with a very family orientated atmostphere and very accessable. All we need now to complete the picture is a decent team to go with it!

- 11/02/01 Great opinion although I am afraid to say if I ever go there it will be to sit in the away end. |
