It is a pleasant chaos in the English city of Norwich. Around 1500 supporters from NAC celebrate a football party there on Saturday afternoon. The supporters of the Breda club have massively crossed the North Sea, because their club plays a friendly match against the local Norwich City FC.

The match only starts at four o’clock this afternoon (Dutch time), but the NAC supporters were there early today. It is cozy in the city, but Norwich does not seem to be fully prepared for the big crowds: hotels are overbooked and there is no taxi to get to the center.

But that should not print the fun of the football supporters, because the atmosphere is already good.

Supporters help police

On Friday evening it was already nice in Norwich, but the invasion of the supporters also caused dangerous situations in the center. The football fans drank a beer at the designated pubs, but they turned out to be too small for the many supporters. Some streets were so full that no traffic could go through.

At one point the emergency services could no longer get through and the police came to intervene. The NAC supporters came to the rescue and, together with the police, ensured that people still went aside.

Lots of fun in the English city Friday evening:
