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

January 1964 FA Cup Third Round v Oldham and actually won 6-3 to progress through to the 4th round something we have not done for many years.
Gerry Baker scored a hatrick and sat in the old East Stand |  | | |

Stoke city at home , April 82. We won 2 nil with goals from Mariner and Wark. Remember it like it was yesterday. We parked in the greyfriars multi storey and I can still remember the excitement as we caught a view of the back of the cobbold stand as we climbed the levels of the car park.

First game was to see Town win League title under Sir Alf in last game of 1961/2
Don’t remember too much apart from seeing Ray Crawford score but I was only 7! | | | |

I assume you mean 2006/07 season when they were up in the Championship? That was 3-1, I remember watching it on the ITV Championship show.

February 1st, 1969.
Man Utd at PR. Best, Charlton etc.
Tony Dunne OG gave Town the points.
Ground was packed, us young uns sat cross legged in front of the concrete wall at Churchmans.
So began my love affair with ITFC. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Mine was a 2-1 defeat at Plymouth, the last game of the 2005/06 season, which also turned out to be Royle's last and Jim's last as a player. | |

We beat Stoke 5-1 around then, Baltacha's debut. |
Brilliant, think that's it. Thank you! Going to go buy a matchday programme in celebration... |  | | |

Just seen 1969/70 match was a draw. Another Tuesday night game that ended 1-1 with Viljeon and Dougan scoring. Wagstaff was also playing that game so it probably fits your recollection best. |
Brilliant information, thanks. It was definitely a Saturday game, to must have been the 2-1 win, and after the stand was built. [Post edited 15 Apr 2018 21:30]

Looking back over the years I do not think you could really pick a better "first ever ITFC game" unless it was at home to Villa at the end of that season. |
I can just about remember not being overly keen about going to a night match!
The second I saw that pitch and the blue and white strip, I was hooked!
As you say, possibly one of the finest first Town matches to attend in our history. |  | | |

I see it more like Phil is Holly to Gavs Schofield |
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. |  |

First game of the 78/79 season. Up until we won the FA Cup, I used to like playing football but didn't go to watch Town as my old man was a bit of a biker and took.me to Speedway.
Much to my father's disgust, he still hates football, I went with a neighbour and his father. We lost to Liverpool. A few days later I went for the second half* of us beating Man U 3-0
* you used to be able to get in for nothing after the whistle had gone for the kick off of the second half... Loved it! |  |

Town 4 Stoke 0 - October 1959.
Dermot Curtis scored all 4, but was soon ousted by Ray Crawford, who, according to John Elsworthy, was a lesser footballer but had the confidence that Curtis lacked. | |

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. |  |

January 1964 FA Cup Third Round v Oldham and actually won 6-3 to progress through to the 4th round something we have not done for many years.
Gerry Baker scored a hatrick and sat in the old East Stand |
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? |  | | |

January 1971, FA Cup Third round replay against Newcastle, we came from behind to win 2-1 with goals from Colin Viljoen and Mick Hill. Those really were the days, winning a third round FA Cup tie. | | | |

First game was Charlton v QPR in about 1967. Rodney Marsh was playing.
First Town game was Charlton v Ipswich same seaon - possibly in '68. Town won 1-0, a scuffed shot through the keeper's legs from other Hegan or O'Rourke I think. |  |

22nd Sept 1973 ... we had just beaten Real Madrid at home and my first game was against Burnley who we beat 3-2 that day in beautiful sunshine with Bryan Hamilton scoring a brace. Pretty sure the back four was Mills Hunter Beattie Harper which I don't know why but I always felt was as good as any combination I have seen in the blue of Town! |  | | |

25th October 1986 beat Stoke 2-0, Kevin Wilson scored both goals. My first season was the one after we got relegated, when we lost in the first ever-play offs. |  |
