What was the first Town game you saw live? 11:48 - Apr 15 with 26513 viewsKeno

I'm feeling a little melancholy so lets all take a trip down memory lane

Me

August 1974 Ipswich 2 Burnley 0

Walking into the North Stand it was the amazing place I'd ever been to, the most amazing feeling of belonging to something that was vey special

I may have been spoilt by watching that team and that era

That was the first time I got to stand in the North Stand - remember queuing for tickets (in the freezing cold) for about 2-3 hours - Johnie Wark hit the bar


It was freezing and really windy! Watched the replay on TV that was an incredible game!

5th March 1994

At home to Arsenal. Lost 5-1. Arsenal scored all 6 goals. Ian Wright got a hat trick.

We had been living in Suffolk for 4 years and I had been wanting to go all that time.

I was given a Town scarf by one of the pilots at RAF Honington when we first moved there around 1990.


Not quite true, Eddie Youds scored for them.

Ipswich 2 Charlton 0
FA cup fifth? Round 1981
Wark and Mariner? If memory serves


Mine was the week before when we beat Palace 3-2. Got in the ground at about 12.30 and it was packed. Was hooked and went the week after for the charlton cup game - all I recall is lots of red wigs in the Charlton end and it was indeed a 2-0 win.

I always thought Phil was the Andrew Ridgley of the duo.

First game, '77, home Vs West Brom. Quite an occasion with a 7-0 thumping.

I was most disapointed when all we did was draw with Leeds in the next game.


That was 1976, just a couple of weeks after my first game. And Paul Mariners debut too?

My first match too although strictly speaking I only saw the last 20 minutes when they let you in for free. I was only 6. Can still remember Gerry Baker heading in from a corner at Churchmans end. Marvelous.

Remember having this discussion with someone at a pub in Yeovil and we said the same match. I guess you are the same bloke?


Yes, I was at Yeovil, was that in the pub in the backstreets. Happy days, Will renew my season tickets for next year.

Sept 1989

Lost 3-0 at home to Wolves and I sat in the family section with my dad.

After that game we then used to stand in the Churchman's and when i was a bit taller we went north stand.

Best one was we drove to Plymouth for a Tuesday night game in the early 90's and then back up north in time for school the day after. Good times.

Town versus Plymouth Argyle, 1967 I think. 0 - 0 but my first experience of the North Stand. Intoxicating!

No idea. All I know is that it was pre-77/78 and a reserve match. My old fella thought he'd break me in gently with a second string game, which I'll be eternally grateful for as he was a Villa fan. We were living in deepest darkest Suffolk so he thought I'd be best going to see a local team rather than his. (I've taken the same approach with my kids and they're both Swans fans, which makes it a lot more likely they'll see games. And it's where they're from at the end of the day).

I can vividly remember being there, but couldn't tell you who it was or what the score was. I spent as much time playing with my matchbox cars at the back of the west stand (well before Pioneer) as I did watching the match. Would have been somewhere between 4 and 6/7.

Was at highfield road for Coventry 0 Ipswich 4 on 28th Feb 1981. Can remember Steve McCall getting one of the goals. Was staying with family in nearby Leicester. Sat in home end with Dad, Uncle, and Cousin. Only 6.5 years old. Also remember listening to radio or watching highlights on TV for both legs of UEFA cup final.

I believe mine was Ipswich vs Coventry in 1985 (0-0, boo, Mick out).

I might be wrong though, it was a long time ago and I wasn't that old really.
