Ricoh clash first up for Canaries

Last updated : 16 June 2008 By Rick Lamb
The early fixtures for next season's Coca Cola Championship have been announced, pairing Glenn Roeder's Norwich with early ties against Coventry (away), Blackpool (home) and Cardiff (away)

. The Canaries, who are likely to feature a host of new faces as Roeder makes his mark on the side, start the season unfancied for promotion and will hope to have a better start than the last two seasons, which have seen managers Nigel Worthington and Peter Grant depart before the end of October.

Local derbies with Ipswich will take place on December 6th at Carrow Road and April 18th at Portman Road.
