RESIDENTS who live by a major stadium have said they are sickened by the council ‘declaring war’ on fans.
Norfolk County Council have plans to introduce new parking restrictions in Trowse, South Norfolk.
The proposals for Hudson Avenue, Devon Way and Kirby Road will limit parking before 9pm on weekdays.
However Pablo Dimoglou and Angela Forster, who live in the village, say the plans will impact Norwich City fans and evening matches at Carrow Road.
The pair also claim the restrictions will hit local businesses because fans of the Canaries use the two pubs and the River Green restaurant.
“We were shocked the scheme seems to purposely discriminate against and disadvantage Norwich City fans with no regard to whether their parking causes a problem,” Pablo told the Eastern Daily Press.

Angela added: “We enjoy seeing the yellow-shirted brigade marching through Trowse, they are always so courteous and jolly.
“They really add to the vibrancy of the village as people often park, then meet up for a beer or a meal.
“Five years ago a previous group of parish councillors asked about this and now the county council is trying to do something based on that even though we don’t have a problem with it.”
A county council spokeswoman said: “These plans have been proposed by and developed with the local community to tackle commuter and football parking issues in the village.
