I am not certain but the first that I know I was at was the F.A. Cup replay at PR in 1961/62. We lost that but the season did have its compensations.
My first one at their place was September 1964. |
My first game also. I remember Norwich winning it 2-1 with a last minute goal. My dad and I managed to get through the turnstiles in the North Stand just before they closed the gates. At the time it was a new record attendance. |  |

That'd be the Gary Megson own goal game in mid nineties [Post edited 15 Dec 2023 17:26]

Ipswich Town (1) 1 - 2 (1) Norwich City
Division 1 1972-73
Tuesday, August 15, 1972
Referee: R B Kirkpatrick
Manager: Bobby Robson |
That game was my first derby at home too.
Caught a 'Football Special' train for the away game.
The train seats were either broken, missing and ripped to pieces. The windows, walls and floor were covered in graffiti. Not a lot of respect given to football fans then, for obvious reasons! |  | | |

Milk Cup semi in 85. Won 1-0. Mich D’Avray, who had scored in every round up till then
I’m sure that was a one-legged tie, and we went on to play at Wembley afterwards. Oh yes. Nobody tell me any differently. Please. |  | | |

Boxing Day '77
1-0 defeat at Carrow Road.
Penalty if my memory serves me.
Didn't see much of the game was only a young un and couldn't see much on the terraces amongst the Nodge fans. Went with Dad, a Town fan, and Grandad, a Nodger, just rolled up 10 minutes before kick off and in through the home turnstiles.
Yes, the River End |  |

New years day 85. Won 2-0.
Stood in the West stand and watched the hoodlums holding up and burning a Naaridge scarf in the North stand.
Was hooked. |
I remember that one. Wasn't sure when it was. |  | | |

August 1972, lost 1-2, might well have been Beattie's home debut.
Things got better from there for a few years. | | | |

15/8/1972 Town 1 City 2, league match. Briefly trouble in middle of North Stand terracing as skirmish broke out. Was visiting relatives in Ipswich, l lived in Hertfordshire
and was the only Leeds supporter in my school, everyone Arsenal Spurs or MU. But this game began my
conversion from a glory hunter to supporting a local team as l moved to Ipswich a couple of years later.. | | | |

Late 70s at Carrot Rud. 3-3. Gates scored the first. Can't remember much else, other than we were 3-2 up when the lucky @rseholes equalised towards the end. That and coins raining down on us throughout the game.
Something of a baptism of fire.
Edit to say it was Boxing Day and the first time I heard Hark Now Hear. [Post edited 15 Dec 2023 19:58]

23 Sep 1975 Ipswich Town 2 Norwich City 0. Beattie and Hamilton with the goals. |
The 1975 2-0 was my first one too. I can’t remember anything about it tbh. Ta for the goalscorer reminders.
Edit: I went years without missing a home game against that mob, bar one. The 5-0 match when I was abroad. I wept. [Post edited 15 Dec 2023 19:58]

Night game. We lost 2-1, it was raining, they got a penalty which was actually a foul outside the box.
Was sat in the front seat of my dads car in Portman Road and a pretty huge mob of Ipswich attacked the back of the sporting farmer about 25 minutes before kick off.
Mid ninties maybe? [Post edited 15 Dec 2023 21:28]

23/09/1967 0-0 Town all over Norwich but I remember their goalkeeper Kevin Keelan was an absolute class that day and I remember in The People the following day his performance goy 10 out of 10! |  | | |

Almost 50 years supporting Town, and never been able to get to a derby game.
Untill tomorrow, and I can't wait!
Cost and distance was always a factor in the past as I left East Anglia at 18 and have never lived close since.
Went for my first ever season ticket last season and of course, renewed for this season. What a couple of seasons so far! Worth every hour sat in the car between Gloucestershire and Portman Road (and most away games).
COYB! | | | |

September 2005 when we lost 0-1 and Sito got sent off.
Was a bad day throughout. |  | | |

Like a few other it was 1 - 2 in 1972. Norwich's first season in the top league, we thought we'd hammer them, aged 14, I was devastated that we lost.
Later that 72/73 season we beat them twice in the Texaco Cup final - wining the cup at carrot road, one of my top 5 games ever - On radio Suffolk last week Mick Mills said it was one of if not his favourite game ever! |  | | |

That would have been mine too. And I went to both legs of the Texaco Cup final. [Post edited 18 Dec 2023 16:41]

They count those Texaco Cup games as European Football
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_City_F.C._in_European_football
But I could go with that, would mean we have another European trophy. | |
