Sheer joy all around Carrow Road as season ends with meaningless 2-2 draw with Coventry

How do you sum up the sheer joy all around Carrow Road today after the final game of the season against Coventry?
Everywhere you looked there was a photo waiting to be taken from the buzz around the ground before kick off to the walk home for the final time this season.
If you'd have told me ten months ago that City would end this season with a 2-2 draw at home to Coventry I'd have probably assumed that it was a clash between two mid-table teams with nothing to play for.
As it was, there was nothing to play for after City were promoted on Monday and then learnt that QPR wouldn't be dropped any points over the Alejando Faurlin affair.
The only real unfinished business of the afternoon was announcing the player of the season. Every City fan knew it would be either Wes Hoolahan or Grant Holt, with Russell Martin the alternative vote for those who just couldn't decide or thought it should go to the unsung hero.
As it was City's skipper Holt took the award, ahead of Martin in second and Hoolahan in third. That seemed about right, despite Hoolahan's superbly impressive season. I have no doubt that he will be the star of Norwich's Premier League campaing.
So the game was just one excuse for a party really and among all the fanfares, flags, banners, beach balls, balloons and scarfs, a game of football threatened to break out for just a couple of minutes.
Grant Holt gave City the lead, Coventry equalised. Holt came off and Dani Pacheco came on and scored, before Coventry equalised. Game over, and then on to the celebrations.
The players came back on the pitch and took the trophy, Paul Lambert spoke to the fans, Marc Tierney did somersaults and waved a large flag, their were fireworks, players walking around with their sons and daughters on their shoulders and joy all round.
After two years in which City have been at the top of the table and getting points and goals under their belt with routine fashion, next season is going to be so different.
Of course that's a massive understatement, but I for one am going to relish every second of our battle to stay in the top flight for at least a season.
