10 things...
Norwich
1 Them Normans were notorious near Norfolk's no.1 outfit Norwich, by the river Wensum - or these Champ's days should it be andsome?
2 Their castle Medieval Society depicted invasion, siege, occupation, rape and pillage on Bank Holiday afternoons. Alternatively a live footy home fixture would do.
3 Norwich Cathedral has a multitude of flying buttresses to support the roof. And you thought only 20th century Carrow Road architecturally represented an old millennium monstrosity.
4 Sponsors Colmans have cut the mustard there from day one and are hot stuff, spread throughout local pie & pint premises too.
5 Canaries actually comes from their city's links with trading in birds. You may have seen yellow clad females shake a tail feather down to Riverside.
6 Their main stand burned down over twenty years ago. To say the place had metaphorically risen from those ashes would not only be literary. A little bird told us.
7 In 1985 Norwich beat Sunderland in a FL Cup final by an own goal. It was a bit like a Tom & Tweety-pie cartoon replay on Thames TV. Think about it!
8 In 1993 they were first time in the UEFA Cup but got done by Inter Milan, who thought them slightly green but not at all yellow.
9 Delia Smith - cook, writer, millionairess but a simple East Anglian fan - yeah right!
10 You'll especially like visiting Norwich in a group, you can join a Union to 'quote me happy' as extra travel insurance.
