While 2,042 Blues will be at Carrow Road for Saturday’s play-off derby semi-final second leg against Norwich City, with the game live on TV in the UK and abroad, supporters across the country and around the globe will be meeting up in pubs and bars to cheer Town on to victory and a place at Wembley (Sky Sports 1, from midday, KO 12.15pm).
The South-West Branch of the Supporters Club will as usual be meeting up at Toto's in Bristol city centre with all fellow Town fans welcome. For more details email Tony Stimson.
For those in Birmingham, the venue has now changed to The Crown. If you’re planning to attend, send forum regular DantheMan a PM to let him know so he can gauge numbers.
The London Branch meet-up at the Jetlag Sports Bar has now reached its capacity.
Chairman Horry Money told TWTD: "We have had an unbelievable response from London-based Town fans."
Money asks for those coming along to make the pub into a Blue haven of Town shirts and flags.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
