I'm glad I no longer go, I was a dyed in the wool River Ender

from my first match on the terrace in 1974 to my last, the promotion match against Blackburn. In my last season I did go in the South Stand a few times, having given up the season ticket and before I got the ST I went in the Barclay a few times, but the River End, on the gangway right behind the goal was my Norwich home for nearly 25 years.
