Well that was in the day when it was cool to take an end, it started with some Watford
fans placing balloons in the centre circle, a few Norwich fans then ran on the pitch stamped on the balloons and replaced them with Norwich balloons, Watford fans then returned the favour, this happened a few times, but just when the Watford fans started to come on the pitch again, virtually the whole of the Norwich end just legged it after them, Watford fans scattered out of the end and some came up our end. Quite vivid for me I think I may have been slightly scared actually.
