No cross country trains running that day so coach car or train via London

Right...getting in early i'm after a ticket for Norwich away, my mate is currently over from Melbourne and he is after a ticket.
Amfy helped him out for Spurs and i know he is sorted for Palace and Arsenal. He goes back to Oz on 7th October so this game
5th Oct is the last chance he'll get to watch us play.
If any of you know him his name is John Anstey, John has asked me to put the word about on his behalf.
Cheers

Correction to travel via London. Norwich station is shut down that Oct 5 weekend. Track shut down from Peterborough so bus replacement to Norwich for cross country route.
London route approach also ends at Diss or Cambridge North with replacement buses. Hence you cannot go to Norwich by rail from Liverpool St all the way to Norwich station.

We've got 600 more than usual allocated for this.

2,600 is more or less the 10% that they are required to allocate to away fans.

I know, but we've only had 2000 maximum the past few years.

That's because 2000 is the minimum in Division 2, we have to give away fans more this season than we did the last few as well.

We had a legendary trip to Norwich on New Years Day 1992. One of our mates worked at Land Rover and had borrowed something like an eight seater Land Rover for the journey. He had had a fairly tame New Years Eve with his family as he was due to be the driver the following day. The rest of us did not have tame New Years Eves. Everyone met at my parents house first thing. I looked in the mirror and I did not look great after the night before. After that everyone I opened the door to looked progressively worst than the last one. The last person to walk through the door was my old next door neighbour who was so pale he looked like a ghost. I had to tie his laces up because he said every time he had bent down to try he had felt dizzy. I lost count of the number of times he threw up out of the Land Rover window on the journey down. It seemed to be a constant cycle of him being sick, perking up and saying he felt better and then going quiet and then being sick again for the whole journey. Considering we all felt rough it was a miracle he didn't set the rest of us off.

We lost 2-1.

Ever thought of not buying tickets you’ve no intention of using so others can build up a booking history? No - thought not.

That was when Regis scored for us I think. I don't remember who got the goals for them. Fleck I think - a dodgy penalty.
I flew to that game with the team. I seem to remember they did a special trip for £100 a head. I decided that a 40 minute flight would be less painful than a 5 hour coach ride with a stinking new year hangover!

I was also at the game, rough as fuck after being in the institute the night before and having my Benetton wallet taken from my hand as I slept on the stairs inside. If anyone knows who took it, PM me. Cheers.

When I say "I've got my two" I've paid for them, but the ticket office has only posted them out today.  Hopeless.

Thanks very much for the offer,  but I've not been able to find one.

Poor planning on my part!
