Reading still have him on the squad list on their website, saying he's on loan at Southampton.

Yeah that annoyed me. Five minutes into the second half Stockport got a free kick about 10 yards into our half. We dropped every single player back to defend it. It means we have no outlet if we win the ball back so we have to hoof it straight back to them.
Contrast that to Stockport, who left a man up. From one of our corners the ball was cleared up to that player, who laid it off to a supporting runner who got brought down for a free kick to them.
Norwich themselves had had a slightly more impressive pre season than us though:

Some quite impressive results in there, beating teams from higher divisions.
I guess no-one will ever know if that heavy defeat on the opening day would have just been a blip for them.
Simple answer, as ever, would be for the Chapel to be the main home end, and leave the away fans where they are. That was the original intention. But for some bizarre reason the vocal fans decided they wanted to be next to the away fans.
I don't really understand why people buy programmes these days. Used to be worth it for the team numbers, but nowadays with all players names on shirts that need has gone.
