About this deal

It’s a tale I’ve told before, so apologies if this feels like an ITV2 repeat, but it was when I was in the early years of primary school that Dad took me to my first few games, initially, by way of a trial run, to some reserve team games. But it’ll never again be quite the same. Not quite. Not without him sitting to my left for home games.

My Dad, younger brother and me used to stand in the South Stand, on the half way line. I can vividly remember the comments from the old timers as us youngsters pushed our way to the front, most of it jovial (those really were the days). And that walk from Trowse to Carrow Road, via Bracondale and Kings Street, is sometimes a long one when the lungs and legs are not playing ball. He feels it’s time, and I understand… totally. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. To most, there would have been nothing remarkable about the sight of a little grey-haired man slowly making his way to the exit a couple of minutes early. But I can still picture it.It’s with still-misty eyes he tells the tale of that first Carrow Road visit, accompanied by his own dad, Walter, his older brother Fred, and another Fred, his uncle – aka the driver. Break through the smooth, creamy head to reveal the bittersweet reward. Unmistakable, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop, and every deep, dark, satisfying mouthful in between. Guinness Draught is the perfect accompaniment to good food. Good friends. And good times. Guinness. For a few seasons, it was there we stood; close enough to hear profanities from the pitch and see first-hand the misdemeanours of the away fans, with Dad directly behind me just in case there was a crowd surge. Football afternoons that followed tended to be just him and Walter and followed a routine: catch the Halesworth to Norwich bus in the morning, go the old cattle market, watch and listen as Walter (a farm steward) traded to his heart’s content, and then to Vellore Bros for fish and chips for lunch. It was then, finally, with hope in their hearts and battered plaice in their stomachs that they headed down to Carrow Road.

He took Mum to Stamford Bridge to see the boys hammered in the FA Cup, Mum still remembers that, at 85, as the most frightening experience of her whole life, and she lived through the war!And there we stayed, throughout its various incarnations including that odd concept known as seating, interrupted only by a time when I too was playing football on Saturday afternoons and attending midweek games with mates, including a period when home was with those Herbets in the Barclay. The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service. Please note all deliveries to Northern Ireland are also on a 3-5 days service. Famous for its smooth velvety texture and unique surge and settle. This is our greatest innovation. Truly unique. Perfectly balanced. Made of More. The very first one in the autograph book? None other than Big Dunc who, of course, was the absolute gentleman. To this very day, I can recall that booming voice and him referring to Dad as ‘Sir’. We were, as a family, at Watford on the day promotion was gained to the First Division. It rained and the City fans, who were in the unsheltered end behind the goal, decided enough was enough, and charged the length of the pitch to seek shelter at the other end.
