The shutters closed just before 3pm as City fans again backed their team's resurgence, just days after the sell-out home clash against Hull in midweek.
This Saturday's City following will be the biggest in the league since the trip to Fulham on the final day of the 2004-05 season, when around 6,000 fans made the journey to west London.
“That's fantastic,” said Roeder. “I had always been aware of the great support Norwich enjoy, but it just keeps making you proud. It's tremendous, and a big motivating factor for all of us.

“I've always know the depth of support here, but it's the strength of feeling Norwich fans have for their club which I love.
“It's what I've been used to at some of the other clubs I've been involved with and it's really wonderful to see it here as well.”
