Man in the Stands (WW2?)

"In some parts of the country us Norwich fans have a reputation for being a bit thick…

Regular listeners to Canary Call would doubtless agree, but it's not a sentiment you would hear The Man adhering to.

However, a little rumour I overheard yesterday doesn't do us any favours.

Apparently one party travelling to the game rolled into Hull well ahead of time. They thought they'd spotted the new stadium on the city's sky-line and headed straight for it.

The only problem being that when the bus rolled up at the supposed stadium the stand-like structures were those supporting an industrial distribution centre, rather than a football ground…

Given our away form in recent years it may well have been considered preferable to see out the afternoon on an industrial estate - but I'm told our boys thought better of it."

That would be the industrial distribution centre that is right next door to the Park & Ride that takes you to, er, the KC Stadium.
