    Grew up in Norwich, Terry Allcock was a family friend, went to my first game around 71/72. Been traveling for work for the past 30 years Have not lived in Norwich for 16 years but have been back periodically. Always follow city where ever I am in the world. Been in Mexico for 2 years, watch all games either on Fox Sports or ESPN, occasionally have to resort to live stream . Norwich are a much talked about team here, I am very proud to support them. Hopefully back sometime next season, will catch a game as my brother is a season ticket holder. optimistic about next season, pleased with the new manager..............OTBC <party>

    I hail from a village outside Diss (anyone know Scole?) - was essentially on the binner front line growing up and I don&#8217;t half miss it!

    Went to Loughborough Uni and stuck around after I graduated, it&#8217;s a pretty good spot to get to away games from, even if it is nothing compared to the homeland...

    Born in Gorleston, saw my first game at Carrow Road in the late 60's, had my first season ticket in the Barclay in the early 80's which had to give it up in the 90's due to work which has taken me all over the the counry with the odd excursion into Europe.

    My time away culminated in 12 years in Blackpool when I used to get to quite a few games with the Northern Canaries, I was made redundant on 5th November 2009 and moved back to Gorleston stopping off at Carrow Road on the way to get a season in the snakepit.

    I may as well add my own resumé
    Born in the City of Norwich one day,
    Thorpe Grammar school from eleven on
    Then Hammonds at Swaffham for not very long,
    Down to the smoke for the next three years
    Most of the time ´twas blood sweat and tears,
    Out of the RAM, soon it was time
    To get on the musical ladder, and climb,
    Manchester first then Birmingham too
    Then back to London to turn up the screw,
    But foreign soil did always appeal
    And when the chance came I jumped at the deal,
    So thirty seven years ago I became
    In part at least, an old Naarfolk Dane. :)

    37 years! Impressive. Two weeks outside Norfolk sends me mad.

    As for me I've lived in S Norfolk all my life and have recently spent half my time in Cambridge since starting my degree. Love Norfolk though.

    That's really bad luck, you can tell from every single one of his posts that he is a genuine old fashioned gentleman! <ok>
