Show Notes

Welcome back to Beyond the Barclay, hosted by Jez and Morgan — proudly supported by Masterseal and Pye Design, and part of the talkSPORT Fan Network.


In this episode we’re joined by James Copland, a key member of the New York Canaries, to talk about what it’s like following Norwich City from over 3,000 miles away.


James gives us a fascinating insight into:


  • How the New York Canaries supporters group was formed
  • Building an NCFC fan community in the United States
  • Early morning kick-offs and watching games on the other side of the world
  • Connecting American-based fans with Carrow Road
  • His personal journey as a Norwich City supporter abroad
  • Favourite memories of the Canaries despite the distance
  • The global reach of Norwich City and UK football culture



We discuss the differences between football fandom in England and America, the challenges overseas supporters face, and why the bond with Norwich City remains just as strong in New York as it does in the Lower Barclay.
