On Monday night, I kept one eye on my phone for news of a football game. A win for Norwich City would guarantee them promotion to the premiership. It's been an amazing story for the Canaries. After the lows of 2008-09 that saw them relegated into Division 1 , Norwich have achieved back to back promotions, under the guidance of manager Paul Lambert.
Norwich regularly feature on our regional news programmes. They are the biggest club side in East Anglia, and as I've become more settled in the area I've begun to appreciate the connections with East Anglia.
Norfolk is a lovely county just over two hours drive away, and Norwich is the focal point of the county. Whether the Canaries can stay in the Premiership next season is debatable but for the moment, celebrations are the order of the day, The revenue generated by a season in the Premiership will do much to remove the Club's debts and secure its future.
For Norwich City its goodbye Football League Show, welcome Match of the Day.
