Norwich City
♂ Men'sVenue
For plenty of people who have grown up in the Premier League era of top-level football, Norwich City will mostly be associated with their celebrity chef fan and joint-majority shareholder Delia Smith. More specifically, people will likely remember half-time in the game between the Canaries and Manchester City in 2005 when Smith got on the PA system and, definitely not drunk, shouted ‘where are you? Let's be havin' you!’ to the Norwich fans. There is, of course, so much more to Norwich City than a celebrity chef and a half-time rant, not least of which is their famous stadium Carrow Road. The club moved to the stadium when the Football Association declared their old ground, The Nest, was unsafe to play in after subsidence caused one corner of the pitch to collapse. Carrow Road, named after the street that surrounds three sides of the ground, was built within 82 days in 1935 and got the Royal seal of approval in 1938 when King George VI turned up and saw 20 minutes of the Canaries game with Milwall. It was the first time that a ruling monarch had ever watched any of a Second Division match.
