I bet Mr Clegg found those cushions, and sold them. |  |

Didn't season ticket holders get one included at one time? |  |

Yep, I remember those days well. I started going to matches from the age of about 6, with my gran (RIP) and she had a season ticket in block I. I remember a few years later, we played Liverpool in the Cup and cushions got thrown onto the pitch at the end. Unfortunately there were a few Liverpool fans also in I block, who were making their presence known and my nan got hit in the head, when a Town fan in the lower section missed their target, when trying to hit a scouser with one of these cushions. From memory, they were quite heavy and would have caused a bit of damage if you received one full in the face. My poor nan was shocked for a bit, but it never put her off following the Town.
Edit: I think they could be rented for 2p per match. [Post edited 21 Feb 2019 19:59]

My Grandad was escorted from Portman Road in the 1960's for throwing a cushion at the ref from the old West Stand. |  |

I remember when Season Ticket holders used to get a free program. Think they started that in 1977. | |

I remember when we played Man U at home, must have been 76 or 77 and their fans had a reputation at the time. A few of them started to climb up to the upper tier in the Cobbold stand and the old Grannies were beating them down with their umbrellas. | |

Yes, they were red. You may be right that they were free for season ticket holders, but I am sure that there was a very professional 2p chalked up on the wall, next to the stairway, where they were all stacked. | | | |

I can remember them flying out of the stands at the end of one game as the ref ran off the pitch, did they have metal edges? |  | | |
