Is anyone else going to Carrow Road on 30/01/13, 7:45pm KO?

My ticket arrived in the post a couple of days ago. We are due a victory over them, Can't wait to start singing:

Your sisters your mum, your sisters your mum, Norwich City your sisters your mum.
 
Great do you get the train there from where you live in Suffolk?

I am thinking of getting the train from where I live in Stowmarket, understand the ground is only about 5-10 mins from the stadium.

Did you go to the cup match in October? when we lost 2-1 and Demsey missed the penalty in the last minute.
 
Disaster, I do remember the spurs fans creating a fantastic atmosphere throughout the match and winding up the few Norwich fans who were there. Much more enjoyable than the match itself.

Do you go to the pub beforehand? I believe it's the Complete Angler just outside the station. I drove last time but was so much hassle Trying to get parked, I think I will get the train this time.
 
Am going myself, wanted to see what pubs veterans of this game suggest.
A mate just suggested somewhere called The Fat Cat but not sure how good/suitable it will be
 
How are people getting back?
Last train to London is 10pm which could be tight, especially if we're held in. Am thinking of driving to be on the safe side...altho fucks with the drinking

I went to the cup game at Halloween. I made the last train back to London at 10, but it got delayed on the way. It didn't pull into London until about 10 to 1. Everyone missed their last trains back. Not so fun when you've just been dumped out of the cup.
 
Which pub in Norwich on next Wednesday? I went there in December 2011 when we won there just after Christmas. Became drunk after the match with my friends and a lot of other Spurs fans, cant really remember to which pub(s) we went. Cant wait for Wednesday!

Queen of Iceni (Wetherspoons on Riverside towards the ground from the station) or The Complete Angler, opposite the station. When I was there in October for the cup game, the Wetherspoons management weren't too keen on us making a noise. Plenty of bars near the station though either way.

I would go for The Complete Angler opposite the station. There will be loads of yids in there, including myself. We are due some payback over them after that cup match in October. COYS.

Norwich City host Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road on Wednesday 30th January 2013 (KO 19:45) in the 24th round of the 2012-13 Premier League.

Norwich come into the match in 13th place in the table on 26 points with Spurs in 4th place on 41 points.

This will be the 80th time the two teams have met.

Norwich City were founded in 1902 by three former Norwich Church of England Young Men's Society players. The club lost their amateur status in 1905 and joined the Southern League shortly afterwards.

The first meeting between Spurs and Norwich came in April 1906 in the Southern League and the East Anglian club won 4-1 at White Hart Lane. The reverse fixture at Newmarket Road was won by Spurs 3-0. Vivian Woodward scored three goals for Spurs against Norwich that season.

The clubs met for two further seasons in the Southern League, resulting in two wins for Norwich, a win for Spurs and a drawn match.

Spurs joined the Football League for season 1908-09 and the next meeting with Norwich came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in January 1915 at "The Nest" in Rosary Road, resulting in a 3-2 win for the Canaries.

Four friendlies were played between 1916 and 1925 with Spurs winning two games, Norwich one and one drawn game.

The first Football League meeting between the two clubs came in the Second Division in December 1935 with Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane, while Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 in April 1936 at their new home in Carrow Road.

The clubs met for a further three seasons in Division Two resulting in four wins for Spurs and two for Norwich.

During World War Two, Spurs & Norwich played two matches in the Football League South.

An FA Cup fifth round match in February 1959 ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane and Norwich pulled-off a 'giant killing' act by beating Spurs 1-0 in the replay at Carrow Road.

The first meeting in the Top Flight of English Football came in October 1972 when a Martin Chivers goal at Carrow Road wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 win for Norwich.

The clubs contested the 1973 Football League Cup Final at Wembley and a Ralph Coates goal was enough to bring the silverware to White Hart Lane.

Martin Chivers scored a brace in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Norwich in the reverse First Division fixture at the Lane a week later.

The clubs met regularly in Division One from season 1973-74 to 1991-92 with honours being generally even.

Both Spurs and Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93, but the Canaries lost their top flight status after the 1994-95 season and returned for one season in 2004-05. Spurs won 6 of the 10 Premier League matches played with Norwich winning twice and two drawn games.

The clubs met in a pre-season friendly at Carrow Road in July 2008 with Darren Bent scoring four goals in a 5-1 Spurs win.

The fixture at Carrow Road last season in December resulted in a rather comfortable 2-0 away win for Spurs, thanks to a brace of goals scored by Gareth Bale in the 55th and 67th minutes.

Things were rather different for the revese fixture at White Hart Lane in April 2012 with Spurs losing 1-2 to Norwich. Jermain Defoe scored for Spurs with Anthony Pilkington and Elliott Bennett netting for the Canaries in a match which would prove vital for Tottenham's Champions League qualification chances.

During the Summer, former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton was appointed Norwich manager, Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong moved from Spurs to Norwich for a £3,750,000 transfer fee and Spurs striker Harry Kane joined Norwich on a season's loan.

The Premier League match at White Hart Lane in September resulted in a 1-1 draw with Mousa Dembele putting Spurs ahead after 68 minutes only for Robert Snodgrass to score a late equaliser with just five minutes remaining.

The clubs met in the 4th Round of the Football League (Capital One) Cup at Carrow Road at the end of October and Gareth Bale put Spurs ahead in the 66th minute. An own goal from Jan Vertonghen, who deflected an Alex Tettey shot, levelled matters after 84 minutes and Norwich progressed to the 5th Round through a Simeon Jackson goal three minutes later.

Overall, Spurs have won 34, Norwich have won 24 and 21 of the 79 matches between the two clubs have been drawn.

BALE ON CANARIES:

Gareth Bale quickly turned his attention to Wednesday night's Premier League clash at Norwich and insisted: "Both teams will want to prove a point."

We were on the wrong end of a surprise in the FA Cup as Championship side Leeds United beat us 2-1 in the fourth round at Elland Road on Sunday.

However, the Canaries suffered the shock of the season so far as Luton Town became the first non-league to beat a top-flight team since Sutton toppled Coventry in 1989 with a 1-0 win at Carrow Road on Saturday.

We take a run of one defeat in 11 in the Premier League to Norfolk to face a team no doubt determined to halt a run of five league losses in the last six.

"Norwich also had a disappointing result in the FA Cup and we’re both in a situation we didn’t want to be in," said Gareth. "I’m sure both teams will want to bounce back and we’ll be looking to get the three points.

"Hopefully we’ll go there and repeat what we did last season."

Gareth was outstanding in our 2-0 win at Norwich last season, scoring both goals, and he provided flashes of inspiration at Elland Road but it wasn't enough as goals from Luke Varney and Ross McCormack saw Leeds home.

Clint Dempsey reduced arrears to 2-1 after 58 minutes but Leeds defended well, continued to hound us in possession and we had to wait until the last minute for another clear-cut chance when Lee Peltier's last-ditch tackle denied Jon Obika.

"Leeds made it difficult for us," added Gareth. "On another day we could have scored a few goals but it wasn’t meant to be.

"Their second goal came at a horrible time for us. It was the killer blow, to be honest.

"We had some chances to draw but we’ll take it on the chin and look forward to the next game against Norwich, where we’ll look to leave the Leeds defeat behind."
