NORWICH CITY: CARROW ROAD - THE HISTORY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2019
- Carrow Road was built in just 82 days during the summer of 1935. In the years before, Norwich played at a ground called “The Nest”, but it had limited capacity and suddenly failed to meet FA safety requirements.
Norwich quickly found a new site though, and in the weeks before the new season built a new stadium. Carrow Road opened on the 31st of August 1935 with a league match between Norwich and West Ham (4-3).
The stadium initially consisted of one covered seating stand and open terraces on earth banking on the other three sides. The ground could hold about 38,000 spectators.
Few changes were made to the stadium until in the 1960s several smaller improvements were made that mainly consisted of increased cover.
Carrow Road recorded its highest attendance in 1963 when 43,984 fans visited an FA Cup match between Norwich and Leicester City.
In the early 1980s, two out of four stands were rebuilt, but due to safety measures and increased seating capacity the overall capacity of the stadium slowly got reduced to about 28,000.
In the early 1990s, Carrow Road got converted into an all-seater, which involved the construction of new stand called The Barclay.
About a decade later, in 2003, the South Stand got replaced by a new stand called the Jarrold Stand. This stand got further extended in 2005 by linking the stand to the Peterborough Stand.
In recent years, Norwich City have tentatively considered further expanding Carrow Road, but have decided that an expansion will only be feasible after the club has played at least three seasons in the Premier League.

Nice ground, nice club, great fans. From an argyle fan
Congrats on getting back into the premier league Norwich
Best yet !
That old nest ground has always intrigued me . I was told the pitch was too narrow as well .
I used to live on primrose Road when I was little, in 77/78 you could still see the crush barriers and advertising hoardings up there.
great video but spotted a mistake, the caption saying 1972 match day was a picture from the 50s, maybe 1952 perhaps
Goodnight. How are you? I wanted to tell you that in South America there is a Stadium that has been created since 1900 and maintains original pieces still in its building structure. That stadium is the Great Central Park that belongs to the National Football Club. Greetings from Montevideo - Uruguay
The history ! No mention of the 🔥 in 1984
Love sooo much this chanal
I would have loved to have visited the Nest. One of the most unusual grounds ever in British football
I really enjoy all of these videos. I know it's been a while, but if you ever decide to do any more videos, one of Turf Moor would be fantastic. Burnley are founder members of the football league and it's one of the oldest grounds still being used in the England. Kind regards.
Used to love looking at pictures of the beehole end and the popside.
Norwich, my local team who I support
Well im a ipswich fan but still well done for rhe premier leage season
I’ve also always been intrigued by The Nest. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’m sure about 10 years ago there was still a wall from the steep corner of the nest which was still there and visible in the old match pics. Love the idea of there being an old remnant of a long gone Stadium. Also..... how unsafe must it have been to have been deemed unsafe in 1935!!!!!
