"Norwich made reference to their own stadium tours, saying, 'Book a stadium tour of Carrow Road - new dates now available. Terms and conditions will most definitely apply,' along with a grimacing face."
"Politics are divisive, and there will be some that are unhappy that Farage was allowed to take so many photos around Portman Road and to use the venue for his own agenda."
