Norwich had supporters at there game last Saturday how can that be when others fans couldn’t attend games all over the country did they have permission to have a pilot scheme seems unfair to me

If I remember rightly, I might be wrong as I was very drunk there is quite a lot of open space around Carrow Road probably why they were chosen and why we seem to be a 'possible' list.

Cambridge the same, there was loads of Greenland and parks by the ground when we went in the 90s.

Probablt part of the conditions to have open spaces outside, many grounds don't have that, it's one of the reasons they reckon England can't get a major tournament.

I might be wide of the mark mate but it's the only theory I can come up with.

not sure open spaces were a criteria as Luton was on the list of 10 for test events.. they pulled themselves off it with an hour or so stating inadequate time to repair.. i cant think of too many more enclosed grounds..

bit surprised them and Morcambe declined so quickly tbh as id have assumed the test events would have gone to clubs who had actually put themselves forward in the first place

Not sure they declined more like the council stopped them having fans attend.....I know the one game council stopped fans going so perhaps same for those two?

i was surprised when i saw the original list.... as i thought they would have gone for the newer grounds which tend to not be in amongst houses..

I posted when saw original story clubs were asked if wanted to be in trial? As for the grounds logic says no point in having all the grounds like city or Norwich in trial as smaller lower level grounds still need to accommodate fans as well and have problems that need addressing
