Anyone know which driving route to Norwich is best? ie, quickest, is it best to avoid M25? Very much depends on traffic of course but in ideal conditions little to choose between M4-M25-M11-A11 and M5-M42-M6-A14-A11. These 2 routes meet up just east of Cambridge. We are going Friday so will take the more leisurely route across country, getting off M4 at the A34 (J13) and then going Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford and stopping for refreshment near Cambridge at lunchtime. Even this route is probably only 15 mins longer in good traffic. |

A11 part of journey is a lot better than it used to be.
If staying over then Louis Marchasi pub has bands free to watch. Over the road is the Maids Head hotel which has an old wood panneled bar where Lord Nelson used to go. Great place to wind down until early hours. The Woolpack has good screens for live tv matches and karoke. Merchants of Colgate does great curries but book in advance. Brick Pizza for pizzas. During the daytime the market has great street food. Usual chain eateries and huge Spoons at Riverside.

Yeah ours came on 21st Dec. Was a bit confused as the confirmation e mailed had a line in there about a pdf for e tickets being attached but alas there wasn’t and we got the physical tickets in the post. I have just e-mailed tickets@bristolrovers.co.uk to advise that they haven't arrived yet. Looking at the booking it appears I was even forced to pay one whole English pound extra for the tickets to be delivered - so I will expect a full refund on that if I need to go out of my way to collect the tickets from the ticket office at Carrow Rd. I had to do something similar at Newport (a) a few years ago and it was a huge inconvenience.. especially as they declared not to have any reprinted tickets and I spent a good deal of time trying to get hold of someone at Rovers to sort it out (which they did eventually). Fair play - Pete responded pretty sharpish. "Thanks for your email.All Norwich tickets were posted out on a royal mail first class post so they aren’t able to be tracked.As per the email you were sent if they haven’t arrived in tomorrow’s post let us know and we can arrange reprints to collect at Norwich on the day."I'll be pretty disappointed if the tickets don't turn up in time after I booked them so long ago. Going to the ticket office is proper hassle :-| Could be Royal Mail's fault (I guess).. |

I can now happily drink right up until KO and walk right up to my allocated seat and sit right in it with no issues  |

Hi guys ... Norwich fan in peace here. Any idea how many tickets you have sold for the trip to Carrow Road?
For what it's worth, if I were you I'd fancy my chances. We're a club in reverse and, for me, wouldn't be an 'upset' if you beat us.
And lump on Chris Martin to score - as near a certainty as you'll ever get.
Anyway ... safe trip to those travelling. We think it's a nice place, and is about as intimidating as WI fete.

We think it's a nice place, and is about as intimidating as WI fete. Just over 1000 i think. Long way, not too glamorous (sorry) and train problems will mean its nowhere near what we could have brought! All the best after Saturday, we need the money from a win! |

Just read on Facebook, someone who went to the clubshop today said there’s about 60 tickets remaining out of the 1600 allocation, so considering the distance, a decent following. |

Apologies if already talked about, but what is the situation with our goalkeeper if Ward is cup tied and Belly not in the squad?
Would be typical if Cox got injured and we had no No 2!
Hope this is just me being silly!
