- In this video I tell my story of my FIRST time ever traveling to see Norwich City play in person.
I've supported Norwich since 2015, and as an American, it has been difficult to make the trip overseas and attend a match. Finally, on March 9, 2024, my dream came true.

Don’t ever feel like we wouldn’t accept you massive respect to you for being yourself and supporting Norwich 💚💛
thank you 💛💚
it’s great to see oversea fans support the club. Best wishes. OTBC
thank you Reece 🙏
The Missus knocked it out of the park! MARRY HER!
Just stumbled across you.
Mate this has put a massive smile on my face, so happy for you, this is the reason why I love the club the fact they have reached out to you and got a private tour is absolutely unreal. Glad you had an amazing time and happy to have you as a supporter.
All the best my man ill be following your content for sure.
You’re a true yellow now 💛💚. I’m a Lower Barclay season ticket holder. If you would ever like a seat near the drummer with us lot, you’re more than welcome.!
wow thank you! that would be a dream come true
Fabulous! very uplifting and joyful to watch! Absolutely love your passion and SO SO glad the club recognised this and reached out to you! Brilliant hospitality and well done NCFC!!
Thank you so much!
@@NorwichHubthe way you are about Norwich I'm the same with Liverpool FC
What an absolute hero, should definitely come again soon, always welcome at our football club and glad you enjoyed your first trip here 💛💚
I can’t wait to come again! Thank you for your support. Legend.
Top class fella, an honour you decided on Norwich as your team! Keep being you dude 💛💚
Thank you! Will do!
Great to see a fellow American in the Fine City. I grew up in Norfolk but live in the States. Am often in Melbourne FL for work and was in Miami at Loews a few weeks ago! Would be good to see another City fan. Thanks for choosing Norwich! Great vid
Can confirm I was thinking of you every time Norwich scored, couldnt of picked a better game to watch!
hahaha that's great! I was jumping around like a kid with every goal
Glad you had a great visit and I hope you can make it back to see us again some time, you’re always welcome here in “Our fine City” OTBC !!!💛💚💛💚💛💚💛
Fantastic video and really glad that you are part of our fabulous club. This September I will have been coming to Carrow Road for 60 years - still in the Lower Barclay and sing my heart out with the rest of them. It’s the best! OTBC ⚽️💚💛⚽️
I was at Dolphins game ( I have been a Dolphins fan since the 80`s ) and got talking to a Buffalo fan, who had heard my accent. He was Leicester City fan. We talked about the PL and football. Its good to see people from other countries who haven't been swayed by the Liverpool`s and Manchester United`s. Welcome to the Canaries. You know your stuff Alex. OTBC
This is so wholesome!! So pleased you had a great trip COYY!!
thank you COYY!
Possibly the best fan video I’ve ever watched!
I was born in Norwich and have been a fan since my first game around the age of 8 or 9. Since then I’ve been working abroad, or away from the city all my career, but managed to get to Carrow Road on and off until I retired and returned to the UK. I’ve now made it a dozen or so times plus the same number of away games and thoroughly enjoy my days back in the city. My daughter is now at the University of East Anglia, so I have a great excuse to get to more home games when I can purchase a ticket.
I totally agree with you that sitting behind the glass window is far from ideal. I’ve done it 3 times now and have to say that most football grounds have their corporate hospitality in a box with outside seating. I’d recommend the club finds a way to slide the glass back for the matches to enjoy the atmosphere.
Anyway, well done with your visit and compliments to what is a great family club for the treatment they and the fans gave you. Best of luck in the future.
Wow thank you for the kind words! I loved the city so much and I can't wait to go back. If I could go back in time I would have tried to study media at the University of East Anglia
I can relate as a lad who was born in Norwich but moved away since I was a baby to Devon, pretty bloody hard to get to games A) when you're 350 miles away B) not justifying membership cost if might not even be able to go. Regardless, I just went to the Plymouth game, first time at carrow road since we lost 3-0 to Leeds in 2018 when I was 15. This video was just perfect, as a Norwich supporting Starbucks employee, the algorithm does magical things (although I follow u everywhere). Hope to see you at carrow road if our paths ever cross mate, keep up the work, what an unbelievable experience the club provided for you. Literally dream stuff mate. Safe travels for when you next come to carra💛💚
@@jackfuller6818 thank you so much mate that means a lot. hopefully i'll be back soon!
Glad you had a great time in the fine city. Hoping to go back to Carrow road (after a 5year absence) for the Swansea game Otbc 💛💚
Great editing for your first time! Keep up the youtube vids 💚💛
editing youtube videos is much harder than I thought 😅 Hopefully get better with time! Thank you for the kind words.

Hi Alex, my namesake & fellow City fan.💛💚
My partner has just watched this on her phone across the room and I couldn't help but listen in and then have a quick nose around your channel.
Not bad for a first go, as you say. It did feel like you were an excited tourist telling us every last detail of your trip and barely pausing to take a breath. But having watched a few seconds myself I can now see you have used the old vlogger technique of chopping all the pauses out, so it loses it's natural pace & rhythm. I appreciate you *were* an excited tourist with a lot to say and keen to edit the runtime down to sub-20mins, so it's understandable. A less echoey room/use of a mic/bit of sound dampening with soft furnishings etc would go a long way for future videos, should you wish to do more/invest in the channel a little (mic-wise). I'm sure Jack Reeve would be able to help you there (he may even have some hand-me-down equipment if he's upgraded over the years and hung on to the old tech).
Glad you enjoyed your time over here and pleased you are flying the yellow flag overseas.🔰
Hi mate, I’ve just found you on RUclips & obviously I had to subscribe to a fellow NCFC supporter & also your girlfriend, you sure are a lucky guy to have such a lovely & thoughtful partner. I love your passion for our great club, hopefully it won’t be too long before you get the opportunity to watch NCFC play again. OTBC 💛💚
Thank you so much mate! I'm really hoping to get back to Carrow Road next season. Hopefully that's in the Premier League.
You are one of us fella. Come back to the fine city soon. OTBC
Loved the video…proud to have you as a canary. Keep up the great work pal.
Much appreciated!
Loved the video! As a fellow American Canary fan, I really love that your made your trip. I made my own trip in October of 2022 and plan to return later this year. Saw a game against Luton Town at Carrow Road and many of the same city sites. Bravo!
On the ball city we are a incredible club and Norwich is the best team for any one xxxx
Hi mate. I was born in Norwich and wanted to say I loved your video. Your appreciation of our fine city and football club is wonderful to see. So, that football pitch at Dunstan Hall, I know it well and have played on it many times. It has the big nets behind the goals which makes shooting practice easier as the ball doesn't disappear if you miss! When away teams stay at the hotel they use the pitch occasionally. So glad you enjoyed the city and had a great experience. From a brit to an American, we appreciate you. 🙏 🔰 #OTBC
Legend mate, see you again soon💛💚
Can't wait!
👏👏👏 great video, glad you enjoyed our amazing city and club
Thank you! 😃
I’m not surprised by this video, I’ve supported this amazing club for over 50 years and it’s always been a welcoming and very family friendly club, There’s a reason why so many of the legends still live in Norfolk, I’m so pleased you and your other half had such a great time , see you back soon 🔰💛💚COYY🇺🇸🍻👍🏼
Amazing to have you with our beautiful club, my friend. I'm a high school teacher, and we have our prom at Dunstun Hall every year. And those images you shared are part of my life. Happy to have your support as part of that.
Such an amazing experience and a great video 🎉 otbc
Really excellent video - love your enthusiasm. It reinforces how lucky I am to live in beautiful Norwich and be a fan of the club. My wife and I were in Miami Beach in January and we do love it there. Brilliant art deco architecture and some great places to eat like "Ocean Grill" and the "Betsy". Also loved visiting Wynwood Walls in Miami City.
Miami is an incredible place! I've only lived here for 1 year but loved every second. The places you mentioned are all amazing. As much as I love Miami, Norwich holds a special place in my heart. I can't wait to be back!
Videos like this help remind us that Norwich is a great place to visit and to live. Personally I have a lot of respect for fans from overseas who don't support the obvious clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United. That's too easy in my view (although I know big clubs market themselves abroad). Overseas fans usually have a story to tell as to why they support Norwich or one of the "smaller" clubs.
Here we go 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent video, mate. Really glad you had a great time here in the fine city! Definitely welcome back any time 💛💚
thank you legend.
I'm so glad you had a fantastic time in our incredible city!
Glad that you enjoyed your trip to 'our fine city!'. I love our club - Norwich is a family club and so friendly.
This makes me so happy. I always love to see new people discover how special our club and city are.
I walk past the Royal Arcade every day and it’s easy to take for granted when you live here, so I’ll be sure to appreciate it when I next go by.
Glad you had a great trip. OTBC 💛💚
thank you Detective Mango Sauce!
Absolutely love this. Full respect to you 💪🔰
Fantastic! Great video so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Norwich and that you got to see a great game, really positive vibe around the place. The club are really good at reaching out to supporters who are visiting from far away.
Really pleased to have you onboard as Norwich supporter 👍
OTBC
So glad you had a great time in Norwich. Great to see your passion for our club. 👍
Wow, what a great trip you had. Loved watching the video and it's clear you're a true fan of our great club. It's also nice that you also got to see our wonderful city and you enjoyed yourself and met so many of the team and legends. We're truly a family club and you're now part of that. Please come back again and I'd love to meet you and take you both for a pre match drink next time! OTBC!
Glad you enjoyed it. We have lots of ups and downs, its never boring. Welcome to our great club.
Incredible! Such a cool and fantastic experience it must have been💛💚 Best club ever, and great people in Norwich.
I remember as a Norwegian 10year old in the mid 90s coming to my first (of two) Norwich game, going down to the touchline/advertising to get some autographs,
and the other kids, picking up on me being a foreigner made sure to take my notebook and pass it down the line to the players to make sure I also got the
autographs, whenever the players came on the other side of the line. I'll never forget how considerate and just nice those kids were towards a random foreigner..
Thanks for the content you provide, and cool that you shout out the incredible TNC guys as well! They really make being a foreign supporter, that much more of
a fun and including ride😊 OTBC💛💚
Absolutely class video, come back soon 🟡🟢🟡🟢🏴🇺🇸
thank you I can't wait to come back!
Your girlfriend absolutely smashed it booking that trip, enough memories for several lifetimes. I hope you're planning a trip for her right now, she deserves it! Glad you enjoyed our City and that it felt like home, anyone that chooses Norwich is welcome. Pro tip, the coffee at strangers on the lanes near the market is 10/10. The experience you had with the training ground and stadium tour, meeting the staff, manager and players is a reminder that at the core Norwich is a great football club when at other clubs fans are seen as little more than £££.
Shame about the Boro result, we were robbed but you couldn't have picked a better game to visit - I remember when I went to my first game (Chelsea Home 3-1) my Dad told me they don't play that well every week!!
Cannot tell you how jealous I am of your Sargent shirt, great player and hope we get to see him back in the PL with us next season.
Fantastic stuff, I always like seeing what you share on your Instagram page, it’s really cool. Really glad you had an amazing time when you came over, the hospitality from the club is second to none in my opinion. Great to see such a positive video, liked and subscribed! 😊💛💚
So pleased you enjoyed an amazing time on your visit to Norwich! Your passion for our fantastic club shines through! Enjoy the game today, I can’t wait to get to Carrow Road this afternoon as the last home match was the one you were at! What a great game for your first time at Carrow Road!
OTBC 💛💚💛
Such a quality watch and so glad, but not surprised that the club and contacts pulled out the stops for you.
I was fortunate enough to experience the Training ground, with my wife’s Grandad before he sadly passed, again all arranged by Dan Houlker and his team. Such a proper community club wanting to engage with its supporters.
You’re putting our club on the world stage and we thank you for that.
Honorary canary without a doubt!
Be sure to come back. There’s so many here that would happily put you up in our homes to save some cost if hotels. Get the flight and the rest is easy! You never know, a Wembley trip could be happening!!
Seriously, anytime!
All the best!
Thank you for your kind words. It’s so awesome that you got to experience the training ground as well. I can’t wait to be back in the City.
Alex, you smashed it - what a video, what a debut and a 5-0 home win - awesome !!
You should get a job teaching Onel Hernadez how to make proper vids - LOL 💛💚
Aside from your praise of Greater Anglia (I’ve spent hundreds of hours on their trains, the service is usually horrific🤣), this video was really awesome to see. Always welcome in Norfolk brother. OTBC
Good well fella! Love your understanding of the beautiful game… “no half & half scarves!” 😂😂
You are extremely welcome to norwich 😊 your content is the best and you are so respectful of the city
Top bloke! OTBC! Come back again!
Congratulations, amazing fan page 👌
Thanks so much!
Great video. We are very happy to have you both as a part of the Norwich family.
thank you!
Great job Leah! Lucky boy Alex looked like a blast. Know that journey only too well from here in the States. On the ball City!! NYC NCFC
Watched this whole video and it's awesome, love this club. OTBC
What an awesome video! I've been going to first team matches at Carrow Road since 1979 and still remember the excitement of that occasion! Welcome to the 'Carra family' fella! What an awesome experience.
I bumped into Sarge outside the City Stand after the Birmingham match. He was on a golf cart with his foot in a protective boot, although he was chatting to someone he was only too happy to let my lad have a photo taken with him! Top man 🫡🇺🇸!
Hopefully your text trip over the pond will be to see the mighty yellas in the Premier league! OTBC
Love that feeling when you can see Carrow Road as the train pulls in.
Peter Crouch has a hilarious story about his time at Dunston Hall!
Where can I find it?
Hey mate, glad you had a great time in UK and Carrow rd amazing experience for you,hopefully you get over again soon., hopefully the play-offs,bring some of that good luck with you 👍
OTBC 💚💛💚💛
👏
Great stuff
Amazing Video, made me smile, glad you chose our team OTBC 💛💚
thank you matte
Great video, so glad you had a lovely time . How things have changed over the decades . My dad took me to Carrow rd in 1970 for my first game , a 3-0 win against Charlton. The stadium has literally changed completely since that day.
So glad you had an awesome time, great stuff
Thank you very much for deciding to support Norwich! I listened to your great interview on The Scrimmage and felt really proud to hear your unique story. Lovely to be able to put a face to your voice. OTBC!
Amazing video bro, so glad you enjoyed 💛💚
Been following your social pages for a long time so it’s great to see you finally come to a game at Carrow Road. Seem like a top bloke and glad to see you had a dream trip over here, keep doing what you do and if we get to the playoff final, we’ll need you over here for another demolition job 😂 OTBC
Fantastic....so much love for you and your girlfriend (she's a keeper😂)...people like you make our club what it is. So glad you had a great trip.....Come back soon . #otbc
What a great game to have chosen.
Glad you had a great time in our fine city.
U’ll be back!!
OTBC & CTID.
No Norwich affiliation, but this popped up in my recommended feed. Really cool to see your passion for the club and kudos to them for rolling out the red carpet for you.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow sounds like you had a fantastic time, pleased that the club recognised your girlfriends efforts to get you here, OTBC.
Fantastic video! Great to see a fellow fan from USA visit The Fine City - and see a game. Otbc!
Norwich are the best club in the world!!
I’ve also seen Sorensen outside of carrow road too 😂
I guess it’s a thing then 😂
Stayed at the hotel I worked at for 5 years the amount of away football teams that stayed at that hotel and used that pitch to practice on I remember Bolton wanderes staying there and Manchester United and yes I did use that football pitch a few times with my brother and friends and I did score a few goals 😊
Nice one mate ❤
This is great, stumbled upon it randomly.
great watch. Great to see you have the NCFC bug. #OTBC
🔥🔥🔥
Glad you had a great time in Norwich. OTBC
Next time you’re in Norwich try and do the shoebox experience.
Everything about this is brilliant, really happy for you 🔰

Tesco on the bucket list 😂
Great video and top support otbc

Was that Jerry “The God” Goss?
Why do you support norwich mate? Sounds like you had an amazing experience so happy for you
Glad you could make it here m8. You need to marry your girlfriend, she's deffo a keeper.

Why do international fans always have the red carpet rolled out?!
