About this deal

We’ve cheered together, celebrated together, agonised together, mourned together, as some of our beloved Carrow Road neighbours and friends have left us and, of course, done that most River End of things… moaned together. Well, because over seven decades on from said awakening, COVID-19 looks like it may have prematurely ended what Dad had decided would be his final season as a Carrow Road regular. A love story 74 years in the making looks like it drew to a close when he left that green plastic seat and departed the ground at the end of the 1-0 win vs Bournemouth. Famous for its smooth velvety texture and unique surge and settle. This is our greatest innovation. Truly unique. Perfectly balanced. Made of More.

Of course, none of us knows what the next few months will bring but even if we all make it out the other side, Carrow Road, in the medium-term, will be no place for an 85-year-old with COPD. And he knows it. 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. 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. 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.But it’ll never again be quite the same. Not quite. Not without him sitting to my left for home games. 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’.

The introduction of those infamous red and blue seats – apparently no green and yellow ones were available at the time – meant we had to move and there was no way he was taking me anywhere near those ‘Herberts’ in the Barclay. So to the al fresco setting of the River End we headed with, again, the edge of the penalty area as our landmark; the South Stand side, two barriers from the front to be precise.

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. 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. 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. 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.
