Do we actually have our own song - not stolen from anyone ?? on 19:35 - Feb 19 by PJH
Yes and memories of some very good ITFC times.
Exactly! There was never a thought that there was a game coming up that we couldn't win. And usually we were right.
I was a young teenager in the 70's and everything revolved around Ipswich football. Home and away - and abroad. Brilliant times that we were lucky to have.

Yes, I was even luckier because being born in 1951 to ITFC supporting parents I got to see 1961/62 too.
My European record is quite modest,I did Twente(the first time we played them)Feyenoord,Bruges,Landskrona,Amsterdam and Milan.

That's an impressive abroad record. I managed to do Twente, Feyenoord and Bruges. Then got married and started a family. Carrying babies and football didn't always mix well and I had to become a responsible adult for a while!

Wasn't the Bontcho one an original at the time? Or did we copy that as well.
I never heard any other club use that at time, although it's not heavily used by clubs some 25 years later.
I think this was a Town original. First time I heard that was at Leeds away in Jan 1993, just looked it up and it was released as a single in the same month. Until Kolo/Yaya I hadn't heard any other club sing a tune to that melody.

JD stickers arrived today, buh! Thanks so much for putting the extra effort in, really appreciated! Can't wait to tag up my Nodge-supporting mate's pub with a few...
A classic album pack would be class in the future. Will get my thinking cap on!
There's a few of those stickers plastered on road signs in Melford. I take the dog out for a late night walk with a few stickers in my pocket

Yeah, odd that (had never heard the Ipswich version but just listened to the song you mentioned and deffo different).
Weird that they are pretty much identical word for word but to a different tune.
Yeah, if the Man U one is to the tune of Rivers Of Babylon it seems the song was written in 1970 but only became popular in 1978. The River Orwell one to the tune of Halls Of Montezuma certainly predates 1978 and quite possibly predates 1970. I have no idea if anyone had a earlier version of it to the tune we used but the ITFC one is certainly to the Halls Of Montezuma tune.

The next line was
To hell with Liverpool To hell with Man City, We're gonna fight fight fight for Ipswich until we win the football league
Obviously it was word appropriate at the time!
Sorry one of the replies to my original post has disappeared. From the banks of the river orwell to the shores of sicily we will fight fight fight for ipswich till we win the football league to the hell with arsenal to the hell with man city (their sh1t) we will fight fight fight for ipswich till we win the football league.
Thats how I remember it but it was many years ago.

I like it ðŸ‘
Are there any other proper old ones that you can remember that don’t get sung anymore?
Ipswich score, Ipswich score Once you get one you’ll get more We’ll sing you assembly When we get to Wembley So score, Ipswich score
For we are sailing, please give us a goal (seem to remember this being sung, not certain about the wording exactly)
You are my Ipswich My only Ipswich You make me happy When skies are grey (and blue and white) You’ll never notice How much I love you So please don’t take My Ipswich away
