Norwich City FC has announced that it has partnered with train operating company, Greater Anglia, and will come with a number of deals for football fans.
Greater Anglia is transforming the railway in East Anglia, with enhancements being made locally for Norwich City FC fans. The Train Operating Company, or TOC, is replacing every train with brand new ones which will come into service from 2019.
Greater Anglia is also introducing better timetables and more peak time trains into London, making it easier for City fans travelling to the capital for away football matches.
More details of the promotions will be announced soon. Greater Anglia is committed to offering enhanced services for away fans this season.
What did the officials say?
Norwich City Commercial Director Ben Kensell said:
“We are really pleased to link up with Greater Anglia as this is a partnership that will provide genuine and tangible benefits for fans, particularly those that travel in such good numbers away from home.
“We’re pleased to have Greater Anglia on board, and even more pleased that they’re tailoring a lot of their assets to offer greater benefits to our supporters.”
Martin Moran, Greater Anglia Commercial and Customer Services Director said:
“We’re happy to be supporting Norwich City, a club which plays such an important role in the Norfolk community.
“It’s also especially exciting to be match sponsors of the Ipswich Town game at Carrow Road – and we will continue to support with extra and longer trains for both East Anglian derby days to make it easier for fans to get to these matches.”

To be fair I’m a Norwich City fan as I used to live near Norwich before I moved to Essex.
But I think it’s bit of a laughing stock and I’m not sure how it will fit in when Norwich City fans travel away to any game such facing QPR, Millwall and Brentford in the EFL Skybet Championship including traveling down to Ipswich in the East Anglia Derby.
If there are delays to train services which will be a headache for Norwich fans traveling away in London. So I think it’s a bad idea to be fair but at least new trains will be coming from next year which I’m happy about.
And I do use Greater Anglia a lot which I’ve seen so many disruptions to services in recent months and years.
