Support for Paulton Rovers - from a Norwich City fan
The Evening Post has received the following heart-warming message from a Norwich City fan for the footballers at Paulton the night before the biggest day of their lives:
To everybody at Paulton Rovers FC,
-
Andy Jones - manager of Paulton Rovers on cloud nine
As a lifelong Norwich fan and a lifelong supporter of grass roots football, believe me, my sympathies are seriously divided tomorrow.
You boys have done a magnificent job - I've just seen the videos and you chaps are magnificent - a credit to every non-league player in the land!
I can never say I want Norwich to lose, but tomorrow, I want a 3-3 draw, 25,000 back at Carrow Road and a last minute winner in a 4-3 win for us... you chaps deserve everything and more!
Have a fantastic day, everybody at the club and all your fans, and good luck!
All the best
John Patrick
One of many Thame Canaries
Mr Patrick, 49, a business analyst for the Metroplitan Police in London, originally comes from Norwich and lived there for 20 years.
He still regularly attends Norwich matches when he can and described tickets for their match up with Paulton as "gold dust", despite the distance, the size of the ground and the comparative quality of the opposition.
You can follow the game on our LIVE BLOG from 12.30pm on Saturday.
