    Now, us City fans are a hardy bunch, and follow/support our team where ever we may be...think we may have done this on 606...

    Where's everyone from? See how many counties/countries we cover.

    I'll start the ball rolling..Im in West Sussex. (originally from Norfolk).

    Born in Northampton, still live there.

    Support Norwich as my old man was born there, and all siblings support Norwich as well as cousins too.

    We make about 10 games a year but I follow every game on stream or live commentary.

    Wisconsin, U.S.A. Born an raised in Norwich, another fan thankful for the internet.Although I see the occasional Norwich game on the tv thanks to ESPN showing the premier league. Getting up at 6-30am on a Saturday can sometimes be a little hard.

    My favourite is a midweek game, leaving work at 4pm, having started at 6am, getting to the ground about 7:30pm....then leaving the ground at the final whistle (none of this leave at 80mins bollox)...spend about an hour getting back onto the A47, arriving home between 1:00 - 1:30.am...350 mile round trip....

    When i can't get to a City game, I'll make the pilgrimage to The Broadfield to watch Crawley...all of a 10 minute walk...and a terrace to stand in.

    I was born and schooled in Norwich. Spent the next 20 or so years living in different parts of the country (including a 5 year return to Norwich) but am now settled snugly in the heart of the Cornish countryside.
