Club Profile	Club Website Twitter: @NorwichCityFC Facebook: @NorwichCityFootballClub Address: Norwich City Football Club, Carrow Road, Norwich, NR1 1JE (Lat: 52.622128 Long: 1.308653) Nickname: The Canaries
Stadium	Carrow Road (opened 1935) Capacity: 27,137 Pitch Size: 104m x 68m Carrow Road has undergone various improvements in recent years. 160 seats were added to the Regency Security Stand in 2010. The Barclay stand was rebuilt in 1992 to meet the requirements of the Taylor Report after the Hillsborough disaster. The Geoffrey Watling Stand was built after a fire destroyed the previous structure. The South Stand was opened in 2004 and further development saw the Aviva Community Stand provide seating for a further 1,700 fans.
Recent History	The 1984/85 seasons saw Norwich relegated from the top flight, but incredibly win the League Cup. The following season they would win the 2nd tier. 1992/93 saw the club participate in the first ever Premier League season. Surprisingly they were challengers for the title until falling away towards the latter stages and eventually finishing 3rd behind Aston Villa and eventual winners Manchester United. The following season was a different story and having showed promise in the early part of the season, Norwich endured an appalling post Christmas run which eventually saw them relegated. Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn-Jones took over the club in 1996. Mike Walker returned to the club as manager having done so well at the helm in the first Premier League season, but he was unable to repeat that success. It took until 2003/04 for the Canaries to win the Division One title and make it back to the Premier League, but they were relegated once more the very next season. Norwich would drop down to League One in 2009, but would follow that with successive promotions to The Championship and Premier League under Paul Lambert. In the coming years The Canaries would continue to put their fans through the misery of relegation and euphoria of promotion as they earned their reputation as one of the yo-yo teams of English football.

2022/23 was a very disappointing season for Norwich. A lot was expected from the newly relegated Canaries after dominating the Championship in previous recent stints in the second tier but they didn’t even challenge for a playoff spot, finishing 13th. David Wagner is still the manager. Appointed in January he initially improved results but Norwich ended the season with just one win in their last 11 matches. Wagner has previously led Huddersfield to promotion from the Championship. There have been small changes to the squad rather than a full rebuild. The most notable departure is veteran forward Pukki (10 league goals last season). In regards incomings the policy seems to have been to target experienced players who can hopefully hit the ground running. Duffy, Stacey and Barnes know the Championship inside out. Fassnacht may prove a crucial signing. Norwich badly missed goals and creativity from midfield last season. He has the skillset and pedigree to provide both but has yet to play outside Switzerland. Norwich have a squad well versed in what it takes to succeed in the Championship however, this was also the case last season. They have impressed in pre-season and look stronger defensively with the additions of Duffy and Stacey. There is already pressure on Wagner who needs a good start. Home form is an area to improve with the Canaries only picking up 29 points from their 23 games at Carrow Road last season.
