I'm looking to compile a list of every single Town match ever to be shown live on telly. This information doesn't appear to be readily available anywhere on the web so I'm attempting to create it myself with your assistance.
All findings will be edited into this post to form a definitive list.

Impressive stuff and no surprise to see our TV record isn't as good as it might be! I take it you left the Youth Cup games out as they're not first team games?
Just first team matches, yeah.
Our youth team's record on TV doesn't take quite as much working out however!

@YogiBear Good call. Looks like you're right. I wondered if there were any derby matches we had missed out.

Thanks hoppy & gainsboroughblue although I obviously couldn't have done it without the input of a lot of you folks on here. Thanks to everyone who has contributed.
@hoppy: You're in luck because I did the figures last night. I wasn't going to post them yet but seeing as you ask...
So, assuming that the current list is complete: (which is by no means certain)
---
Technically, we have had 144.25 games broadcast live but seeing as we didn't actually score or concede a goal in the extra-time period v Bolton in 1997 and the fact that it wasn't a full live game - I'll disregard it.
Maybe Phil/Gav will host it on here? It would also be a way of users to further refine it? Users could be encouraged to post further comments per game, maybe even links to YouTube?

Are you going to publish the full list somewhere?

I'm happy to do the list as a story when we're all happy it's all done and dusted and complete. From an archive perspective perhaps Pride of Anglia might be up for maintaining it or hosting it.

As alluded to earlier this is all working towards something much bigger than just a list of Ipswich Town games. The current list is hosted on a sub-domain of a website that I will soon be launching.
To answer your question though, all of the things you mention will be possible with what I have in mind. People will even be able to physically add data themselves, for example.
In the meantime, I would say that sharing links to this thread or my online list (which itself links through to this thread) would be a pretty effective way of encouraging people to help out. It's got us this far. We really have gathered an incredible amount of info in a short space of time. Thanks folks!

Right then folks - I've managed to find out all of the details for all of the matches apart from the 1st leg of the play-off semi-final v Charlton in 1998. It was on Sky but don't know which channel. That's all I'm missing! It's bugging me... does anyone recall or have a VHS recording of it somewhere or something? I probably would have recorded over it if I did, though I'm pretty sure I didn't have Sky back then.
As YogiBear pointed out, there was a missing East Anglian Derby game so I've added it in.

You can now see whether each game was win/lose/draw at a glance and it's even fully responsive!

Paul B Strangely only the 2nd half of the 1962 Charity Shield on Saturday 11th August was shown live on BBC2 apparently, Town losing 5-1 to Spurs at Portman Road. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/ITV/cupfinals_bw.html Wasn't the Charity Shield fixture in 1978 which Town lost 5-0 to Forest shown live? Well done for taking on such a major task. Fascinating. Best wishes Carberry
The site you linked to has been a great source of info during all of this but I didn't spot that one!
If that's the only omission I'll be pleased as it's quite obscure. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll try and shoehorn it in somehow.
As for the Charity Shield game v Forest, quite a few people have flagged that one up - probably under the assumption that it would have been more than anything else. I don't believe it was, though it's probably worth looking into again. Cheers.

Excellent, thanks for posting as I was out of the country for this game and cannot even remember the result/score (obviously know Town didn't make Wembley). Something to watch later, and Sir Bobby there in the studio!
