About Holtamania

Holtamania is a blog. A blog about The Norwich. Editor/writer/tweeter-in-chief is Matt, but there are a few others who write for the site now and then, and you can find out about them over on the contributors page. The point of the site is to provide stuff that you don’t find so much elsewhere. Whether it’s in depth tactics or stats, memories about Norwich in years gone by or just stupid pictures and bad jokes, it’s all welcome. We just try to be different. If you wanna write for us, or do anything with us (ooh er), just send me an email to admin@holtamania.com
