TWTD Issue 1 Online - Ipswich Town News

The very first issue of TWTD is now available and marks the start of our ambitious project to get the entire back catalogue of the zine online.

Issue one of Those Were The Days was edited by Paul Stephens prior to the 1990/1991 season, our penultimate season in the old Division Two. The previous season was John Duncan's last in charge after a series of demonstrations persuaded Patrick Cobbold to look to John Lyall to get us promoted.

Paul, Clint West and Jon Wickenden wrote the articles covering topics such as the ‘hideous' orange shirt and history of our past kit designs, a review of John Duncan's last season at the club, a look forward at John Lyall's reign and a John Duncan board game!

You can find the first issue on TWTD Online, our new sister site for TWTD subscribers. If you are not a subscriber then rates start at just £6 (50p a month). Log on at www.twtdonline.co.uk or for more information.
