CITY'S game against Colchester United will see a sell-out crowd with around 25,000 expected, and main Club sponsors Aviva are doing their bit to help raise the roof and build-up the pre-match atmosphere at Carrow Road. 

Following on from their fan give-away last season, Aviva staff will be handing out 5,000 flags and 2,500 sets of bang bang sticks to supporters as they arrive at the ground.

This match will also see the start of the Ahead of the Game initiative - which aims to raise awareness of male cancers through providing free health checks.

Norwich City's Football in the Community have teamed up with the Football Foundation, the Department of Health and the Men's Health Forum to use the power of football to help fight cancer amongst men in and around Norfolk.

Outside the Jarrold Stand will be a mobile unit where people can go for further information on the project and take advantage of the free health checks with trained local Primary Care Trust (PCT) staff, such as blood pressure, waist measurement, BMI, height/weight, CO2 levels, lung function and urinalysis.
