    Wahay Warky you've well and truly 'bitten' on this one mate <laugh>

    It is a FACT that Norwich is widely regarded as the Capital CITY of East Anglia just get over it mate.

    and still employs hundreds locally.
    NORWICH was: Once the Capital City of England
    NORWICH (and Norfolk) has: Many famous sons and daughters although that's irrelevant to the argument here

    ..........and of course

    Is this true?

    There was a lot of Ipswich bias on Look East especially leading up towards the end of the season. There is one club they hold of a special spot for and that's MK Dons, considering the size of and the notoriety of the club it's a bit of joke the amount of coverage they get.
