Norwich City
Directions
The ground is well signposted from the A11 and A47. From the southern bypass (A47)
take the A146 into the city. At the traffic lights turn right and follow the outer
ring road: Left at the roundabout. Right at the next lights. Follow the inner ring
road round to the right, over the river and the ground is on your right. If in doubt
follow signs for the the railway station until you get to the river (where the rail
station is off to the left and ground on your right).
David Clarke informs me that 'The best car park for away fans is Norfolk
County Hall, which is well sign posted on the left of the A146, as you follow signs
towards the ground from the Southern Bypass. It is currently £3 and can hold about 2000
cars, and does usually fill up by 2pm for games where the away team bring loads of fans'.
Pubs
I found that the number of good pubs situated in-between the train station and
the ground, were plentiful and friendly. In fact it almost ended up being a pub
crawl before the match had begun!
There is the 'Compleat Angler', which is by the river opposite the railway station (around
5-10 minutes walk
from the ground)'. This pub seems to have now taken over the
mantle of the 'away fans pub'. Nicholas Mead
suggests; 'the Coach and
Horses on Thorpe Road brews its own
beer and is around a 10
minute walk away from the ground'.
By Train
The ground is walkable
from Norwich train station. If you ignore all those wonderful pubs it
should take you around 5-10mins to walk to the ground. From the
station turn left and head for the Morrisons supermarket
and you should see the ground behind that.
