Much appreciated too, my post was one of pure exasperation.Hey, I don’t work for the railways, I was just suggesting an alternative route
Can't think of Norwich without remembering the bloke I met in a chippy up there just after we got promoted. Unusual conversation...
Norwich fan (seeming genuine) "Congratulations on going up"
Me "Ah, thanks very much"
Norwich fan "Yeh, enjoy it. You've got no chance, you're coming straight back down"
Bit too much vinegar on his chips! Hope he's enjoyed watching us in Europe, Must be relishing the chance to see a decent team play live in January.

I've never been to that neck of the woods for a holiday, indeed it has never cropped up as a place to go. Would love to do a canal barge trip but January may involve cracking the ice each morning. Spoke to my wife after the draw (the same wife who had Rome & Athens booked 5 minutes after the draw) and she came back with an instant NO!Anyone else considering a winter break with the wife and kids, in East Anglia, across the Norwich and Ipswich dates, or just me?

Norfolk and Suffolk are great places to visit. Norfolk coast particularly, and parts of Suffolk feel like stumbling across the "green and pleasant" land of mythical England - if you've ever seen The Detectorists that's all filmed in Suffolk. This chap writes about Norfolk history and landscape and Norwich too, and writes so well I wish he'd do a book. Worth a look through the site before a visit anyway if you like that kind of thing: https://www.invisibleworks.co.uk/landscape/
A 3-bedroom place with a (shared) pool for £350-£400 for 7 nights vs. driving to Norfolk/Suffolk and back twice in the space of a few days is fairly tempting TBH. All really depends on when the cup game is...

How many wives have you got then ?
If they are fit, I would be happy to take them!

Disagree. We should win comfortably, based on our trips to Boro and Stoke, and it's a new ground for me. Bit of a shitter about the trains, but I'll be doing Dry January anyway so driving isn't a drama.

Apart from lacking a rail museum, Norwich is at least the equal of, say, York: a lovely medieval town to visit. Then you also have the broads. Sorry, the Broads.
