been expressed by Norwich directors and the matter came to a head just a month after the big cup tie when the Football Association wrote to the club saying they were not satisfied the ground was suitable to house large crowds. With the Canaries having been recently promoted to Division Two it was quickly decided that the time was right to move on and City kicked off the next season at a plush new stadium, Carrow Road, which had been constructed in just 82 days. Modern site The Nest stood derelict for many years after being declared surplus to requirements before the site was redeveloped after the war. It was occupied for a time by Bertram Books’ factory and offices, but it is now a housing development. A small section of the concrete wall is all that remains of The Nest. In February 2012, the site was marked by the installation of a sculpture of a ball passing between two tall posts. Legacy In 2018 City opened a community sports foundation at Horsford, which is named The Nest, after the former ground. References Nest Norwich City F.C.
