Toilet rolls chucked in the goal - far too valuable
Rattles
Rosettes
Smoking
Blue mobility vehicles around the pitch
St John Ambulance stretcher bearers - in ITFCs case, one a lot bigger than the other.
The bucket and sponge
The sheepskin coated manager
Letters for half time scores.

Any others?

Ah, the good ole days.

North Stand scoreboard sponsored by Broseley Homes with little spud shaped cartoon men celebrating a goal.

Not in the ground but I really miss the old club shop on PR…..as a kid I was overwhelmed by the amount of ITFC treasure laid out before me! The place was more like a large cupboard than a shop.

Having a turnstile that says "Boys - 1/-"
Having Herbie Ladd sitting behind shouting "Git stuck in" every 5 minutes to Chopper Jefferson

Scotsmen standing on the street outside p1ssing in the gutters
Scotsmen on the terrace with a brown paper bag containing a half bottle of scotch and 2 huge bottles of Guinness

That shop was the nuts to a 10 year old! Cushions, tankards, mugs, a colour pic of every squad member, note books, pencils, anything you desired!

I think that should read "were at least 3,000 more in the ground than the capacity"

I suspect 38.010 was a little on the conservative side!!

The lovely old boy that used to walk round the pitch selling Golden Goals!


Or ‘Garden gnome’ as it used to sound from the back of the stand.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Public address announcements,like, 'Would Mr X please go to the Ipswich General Hospital as his wife's gone into labour '


Ha ha, I remember them.

One of them was something like - Would Mr Jones of Acacia Avenue please go home immediately as your house is on fire.

Woollen blue gloves with a couple of white stripes
P1ssing where you stand

And the water is fresher. I've had tea a couple of times in SBR this season and on both occasions the water was stale which suggests they don't empty the tanks after a game, or don't run the water for long enough before filling them.
