Do you remember your first football match you attended? Was it a Town match? Can you remember who played? What was score? Anything stand out memorable from the game? What thing sticks in your memory about the experience? |  |

We lost 2-0 at home to 9 man Crystal Palace.
Clearly I’m a glutton for punishment. |  |

24th October 1970 at Portman Road
Ipswich 1 Liverpool 0
Town - Sivell, Hammond, Mills, Morris, Baxter, McNeil, Robertson, Viljoen, Woods, Collard, Hill, Sub Lambert.
Liverpool - Clemence, Lawler, Yeats, Smith, Lloyd, Hughes, Hall, Lindsay, Heighway, McLaughlin, Thompson. Sub St. John
Mick Hill scored the winner for Ipswich. I still have the match programme.
I was 12 and went with my mate and his dad. Couldn't really ask for a better start than that and I was hooked! I only missed one home game in the next 12 years and that was when we played Birmingham on a weekday afternoon in 1973, due to not being able to use the floodlights during the miner's strike. I was still at school. [Post edited 4 Aug 20:33]

Town v Wolves, early 70's. Strangely I remember more wolves players than ours - Dave Wagstaffe and Derek Dougan (who I think scored for them). David Best was in goal for us. Can't even remember the final score - suspect it was 0:1 - unless someone else knows better! |
Your memory is failing you my old mate!
According to the Pride of Anglia website, it wasn't 1970-1 as Dougan didn't play.
It wasn't 1971-72 as although Dougan & Wagstaffe played for Wolves, Laurie Sivell was in goal for Town.
It was either 21 Apr 1973 Ipswich 2 (Morris, Whymark) Wolves 1 (Richards) or the next season - 27 Oct 1973 Ipswich 2 (Morris, Hamilton), Wolves 0
Those are the only games I can see where Best, Dougan & Wagstaffe all played.
So whichever it was, you started with a win! | | | |

Maybe 1969? Dougan and Best played and Dougan scored.
But maybe my memory is messing about - it has been known to happen you know! |  |

Ah yes, I didn't look at the games before 1970. | | | |

Weirdly enough mine was West Ham v Barnsley. Pretty sure it was an FA Cup match and they went in 2-0 down and ended up winning 3-2. The Julian Dicks/Ian Bishop era.
Was a pretty good game considering I wasn't converted into a Hammer afterwards! | | | |

Ipswich Vs Watford November 3rd 1984
Final score was 3 - 3 but as I was with my grandparents we left 2 mins early to avoid the rush when the score was 2 - 1 to Watford. Got a momento of the game....
I'm the one in the middle. | | | |

First game was Palace v ??(possiblyDerby) in mid 60s as i was born in Dorking...
Can't really remember the score possibly 1-1 but the one thing that sticks vividly in my mind was a chap making an attempt to get on the pitch but slipping as he tried to jump the perimeter wall and falling backwards smashing his head open on the terracing!!.... put me right off for a bit!
Next was a London derby Spurs v Chelsea roughly 1967 when Dad got tickets through work... spent game watching the two sets of yobs chasing each other round the open terracing!...
First Town game when I fell in love with live football and the club was September 22nd 1973 v Burnley ( after the Real Madrid game) 3-2 Town with a Bryan Hamilton brace..... my avitar is the programme cover. [Post edited 5 Aug 1:21]

Ipswich vs Reading, April 1996 - we lost 2-1.
I was 4 - can’t remember much about the game, other than the result. What I do remember is walking up the stairs and seeing the pitch for the first time and thinking it was the most mindblowingly amazing thing in the whole world. Still get that feeling a little bit any time I get down to PR on matchday! |  |
