The derby is a bit tasty, but they're making out like it's the bad old days still. |  |

If it is a requirement of the police for some reason then well done to the club for not making it a full bubble. |  | |  |

If anything surely it would’ve been easier to police by sending out tickets the usual way. The way it is you’re going to have large gatherings of people in a few places in Norwich now. |  |

That's my thinking, fail to understand the logic here. Any errors with anyone's ticket being in the wrong designated area will be problematic. |  | |  |

I won't say it on here but I'd be surprised if it's allowed as a) it kicked off a bit on the escort last time and b) the ticket collection point is the other side of the stadium from where that is located (probably deliberately). |  | |  |

| Travel arrangements for Norwich (A) confirmed. on 12:29 - Mar 17 with 2039 views | Funge | I give Ashton plenty of grief on here (and will continue to do so) - but that's actually a pretty reasonable end result. Still overly paranoid from the absolutely useless Norfolk plod, but not desperately unreasonable, either. Please try not to kick all the urinals off the walls in the away end, Sitters. |  | |  |

But it does discourage, almost eliminate, passing tickets on... |  | |  |

Interestingly if you're on a rail replacement bus then can see no reason why drinking alcohol would be illegal, unlike the official coaches from Portman Rd. Rail replacement users can also choose to leave and return as they see fit. (I'll be likely on 2 wheels so won't be drinking anyway) |  |

Perhaps they'll march everyone in groups from Option 4 to the ground?... I only hope I can get back the same way. Already booked in for Friday night as Norwich is an @rse to get to from the north. |  | |  |

Yes, the timetables are on the rail travel planning sites. |  | |  |

That’s ’technically’ illegal as well isn’t it? Not allowed to drink on the train/bus if you’re on the way to a sporting event? (Football) But obviously it’s never policed 100% |  |

Full body search getting on to the club coach will be funny [Post edited 17 Mar 14:50]

Nope. The law.applies to trains (and coaches) that are only going to the footie. Is why you can drink on any train these days, the football specials being long gone. |  |

That’s pure Coca-Cola in that bottle, honest. Couldn’t believe my eyes last week on the coach to Stoke, a couple of lads cracked open a couple of beers each on the way, crime of the century. [Post edited 17 Mar 15:45]
