We spent the day in Norwich yesterday, shopping, on our way home from a week away. I was wearing my new Town away shirt… of course.
In the whole day, I only spotted 2 x Norwich shirts the whole time we were there. I did encounter several town fans though - a family with the dad in the blackout shirt, with one of the children wearing the home shirt from a few seasons back with the broad white stripe down the sleeve. A few others as well. I also had several people speaking to me because of the shirt, saying “up the Towen” or “Blue Army!” Etc. there was another old boy in a group of wedding party that came into the pub we were in who I heard mentioning my shirt to one of the others, and then kept looking at me, but didn’t say anything to me.
I was genuinely surprised not to see more of the locals in their own shirts though.
I did manage to stop myself from going into the NCFC shop section in Jarrolds and enquiring if they had any Premier League tickets… and from breaking out a rendition of the cranberries when in the pub! |  |

It's never really been a football place, has it, never really had any reason to develop much of a football culture. Nevertheless, that level of being out-represented by your theoretical rivals in your own town is pretty sad for them. |  |

On my way to the station to catch the train up for tomorrow's game, I passed a young lad wearing a Utd top with Fernández on the back. Had to resist having a firm word!! |  |

Had a similar experience about 4 or 5 years ago when we were rubbish and they were still yo-yoing between the Premier League & Championship. Was genuinely surprised. |  |

Never happen in Ipswich would it. Can't remember seeing a Norwich shirt in town, other than match days. |  |
