Just finished . Incredible, moving and beautifully written. Perfectly describes what it's like to be a football fan too. Easily one of my favourite books I've ever read.
@GHarrisonWriter just finished Season. Immediately one of my favourite books. Beautifully written, moving and, never before have I heard it out so beautifully the experience of being a football fan. Thank you.
@EyeAndLightning@jimcockinauthor Newly shorn but never forlorn! Congrats to Jim for his category win, and well done to all the other shortlisted authors!
Here are our two shortlisted authors at the finals of the East Anglian Book Awards the other day: a newly shorn George Harrison, author Season (up for best debut novel), and Jim Cockin, who triumphed in the kidsโ category with his Suffolk poltergeist yarn Ghost Tide ๐๐๐พ
@GHarrisonWriter ๐๐๐ quarter the way through reading โseasonโ and what a read that connects football with many other issues that men face in life.

I was delighted to be asked back on to BBC Radio Norfolk today by @CGoreham. Great to chat SEASON, City and the @nerobookawards. Thanks so much for having me!
Chat starts at around 3hrs 10min:

โGeorge Harrison admits that the unnamed team in his book Season is a fictionalised version of @NorwichCityFC. The 29-year-old said the novel -shortlisted for the @nerobookawards Debut Fiction Award - was born out of his own experiences of supporting the Canariesโ (full story โคต๏ธ)
I'm beyond delighted - it's amazing that Season has made it on to such a strong list for such a major prize. Thank you very much to the prize judges and to all @EyeAndLightning. Not bad for a debut about (basically) a couple of Norwich fans...
Massive congratulations to @GHarrisonWriter, whose debut novel Season is shortlisted today for the @nerobookawards. Itโs a warm, gentle tale about fandom and unlikely friendship in the stands of a Premier League football stadium. Weโre overjoyed that itโs getting this recognition
I'm delighted to have an essay in today's Saturday Guardian magazine as part of an excellent cover feature about football friendships!

Another very enjoyable (?) episode of TNC - agree #ChangeNeededNow. Three of our eight points (37.5%) came in games which Nunez started!!! Sack the lot.
Norwich City are the first second-tier team to start their season at home with a record of 'LLLLLL' since Watford in 1990/91, 35 years ago.
840 different club seasons at this level since then, this is the worst start at home of all of them #ncfc
