Inspired by the lady at Rotherham last week, who’s made it to 90, and a tweet I’ve just seen.
76 for me here
(Including Portman Road)
((Including friendlies))
(((Including old grounds, so x 2 for AFC Wimbledon for example, x 1 for West Ham, Upton Park)))
((((No non league grounds inc))))
2 abroad - one in Ireland and one in Holland.
[EDIT - Up to 82 now, Huish Park, Roots Hall, Glandford Park and The Hive + the two foreign ones]
(I know these are non league but they’re ‘proper grounds’) (worms are in the can)
I’ll add another one next week, finally! [Post edited 14 Nov 2023 22:03]

Weeeell prepare to be rocked...
Colchester (Layer Rd)
Crewe
MK Dons (when it was the Hockey Stadium)
West Ham (Upton Park)
Think that's it - must try harder.
(have also seen matches at Old Trafford and whatever Bolton call their Ikea stadium now but those weren't Town) |  |

When did they turn the pitch at Wolves? |
By "turning" a pitch" do you mean relaying all of the grass at right angles to how it was? Or? 🤔 | |

I missed a game at Millwall in about 2004 due to breaking down. I also had a car die on the way back from a Roy Keane press conference. It clearly lost its nerve. |  | | |

Indeed, although we lost at Millwall, so I didn't miss too much. And regarding the press conference, at least it was on the way back so I didn't face the wrath of Roy. | | | |

Surely if it had broken down on the way to THAT one, it would have saved you from it! | |

I think the highest total of the current 92 that you could possibly have watched Town in, including friendlies and cup games and assuming you're at least in your mid-50s, is 83. To my knowledge, we've not played at the current grounds of Manchester City, Spurs, Brentford, West Ham, Salford, Harrogate, Sutton or Newport. Plus I think we've only played at Northampton's current ground when fans were banned during coronavirus.
Edit: it's at least 84 as we played a friendly at Sixfields in 1996. And we played a friendly at Spurs but without a crowd. [Post edited 15 Nov 2023 10:15]

Did you count the one at Odsal Stadium in Bradford when Valley Parade was being rebuilt after the tragedy of the 1985 fire though? | |

Think I am on 72-73 grounds. Strangely, never been to Brighton. (no idea why)
I have been to well over 100 grounds, but not with Ipswich. (non-league, internationals and foreign grounds. Most of Serie A and La Liga grounds covered) |  | | |

My son (10) decided Town were his team in the Champ relegation season and we really only started following properly after Covid but we're on 36 grounds so far following Town. Long term we hope to do all 92 league grounds but it's unlikely all will be with Town! Made the trips to Exeter & Plymouth last season to get the further away grounds out the way.
When we're not following Town we do the SPFL / Lowland / East of Scotland Leagues and have a total of 46 grounds there. |  | | |

That's true. I was late once as someone overturned their car on the only direct road out of where I live, leading to a 45-minute detour. I apologised and Roy told me he'd never been late to anything in his life, despite a press conference a few weeks earlier having been postponed as he was unable to get his car out of his drive in Aldeburgh due to snow. | | | |

He was late to quite a few challenges in his career. |  |

Technically he was correct then. Clearly when running late he just didn't bother. Would fit with his general arrogance! | |

Ha. The one time I met him he was about 90 mins late and it was fairly obvious he didn’t want to be there at first (I was with somebody from the ME group that Roy was asked to meet, and Roy had been with the main man that morning). He did perk up a bit when a female colleague of mine turned up and decided to stay for lunch. Found him interesting, reasonably relaxed but his actions often contradicted his words. This was at a members club in London, which he’s now a member of himself I believe, so he was at least happy with the venue! We got absolutely hammered on the pitch a few days later and I bumped into him after the game - he ignored me!! | | | |

The mystique around him is quite annoying really. |  |

I'm at 48 in terms of the actual 92 Club, but a few of those I wasn't watching Ipswich (Tottenham, Spurs, Man City, West Ham, Leyton Orient, Sutton United). I've seen us play at some now defunct grounds (Filbert Street, White Hart Lane, Griffin Park, Upton Park, went to Layer Road a few times too, but I don't think I ever saw us play there) and one overseas (San Siro). So, I think it's 47.
(eta: And Old Wembley of course! 48) [Post edited 16 Nov 2023 11:15]

He's clearly not read his own autobiography, about one of his trips with Ireland. The irony is strong here.
'On the morning we were due to fly home, Steve Staunton and I went out for a drink. It was our turn to party now — in fact we were merely carrying on from the night before. Merry and giddy, we forgot about the time. We were late arriving back at the team hotel. The rest of the party were sitting in the coach outside. Steve and I raced to our rooms to pack our bags.
As we boarded the coach, ‘Big Jack’ started ranting and roaring: ‘Where the ******' ’ell have you been? You’ve kept us all waiting, you two.’
‘Why didn’t you go without us?’ I shot back. ‘I didn’t ask you to wait.’ In the silence that followed I looked him straight in the eye. He neither frightened nor impressed me. He was a bully, who didn’t like it when the boot was on the other foot. He backed off. I took my seat at the back of the bus.' | | | |

Including non league and grounds no longer in use I have seen ITFC play at 99 different arenas |  | | |

I'm up to 90 at the moment, some of the the old grounds such as Maine Road, Upton Park and Highbury. Includes a friendly in Dussledorf and the trip to the San Siro.
Working on adding a few more to the list this season | | | |
