It might seem strange to our younger fans but the following chants were common place in the North Stand during the 1970's - makes you realise how far football has progressed.
You're gonna get your f^ cking head kicked in..
You're going home in an Ipswich ambulance.....
We'll see you all outside, we'll see you all outside we'll see you all outside..
Ello Ello Ipswich aggro...
It's time for you to run, it's time for you to run it's time for you to run.
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough....
Beat him on the head beat him on the head beat him on the head with a baseball bat...
You'll never make the station, you'll never make the station.
There's gonna be a nasty accident...
Not surprising it used to kick off at most football matches back then! |  | | |  |

Not all died out
"He's only a poor little budgie" is still a very violent song
"Hark now hear":also
Funny that both about Naaaridge |  |

On the plus side, I've read an interview with a former Chelsea hardcore thug who said he used to hate coming to Ipswich because every time they stayed a racist chant the Ipswich fans chanted over the top to drown it out intentionally. |  | | |

That Hark now hear …..is so cringe worthy , it was so relevant back in the day as it’s the day we used to play them ….Boxing Day and Easter Monday .

Then unleaded petrol was mandated, rates of Physical Assaults went down dramatically, and we all started singing "We're the Left side..." | | | |

Having driven behind a vehicle running on leaded petrol recently...
How the hell did we survive that pollution?
Christ it stinks, you can feel the effect... Yet virtually every vehicle on the road ran on it.
Diesel? That was for tractors, lorries and buses | |

Most of those chants went well into the 80s and beyond. I only started going in 81 and I remember pretty much every one of them |  | | |

I typed ‘did Ipswich ever have a hooligan firm’ and this is what its AI Overview came out as.
Yes. The "Tractor Boys Firm" was the name associated with this group, reflecting the town's agricultural background |  | | |

As a kid I remember hearing:
“One two three four five
If you want to stay alive
Keep out (of) the North Stand” | | | |

I think Town's boys were called the Ipswich Punishment Squad. Don't think they've existed for a long time now. |  |

but neither are a personal challenge to the other mob like the original ones. Head Kicked In was always my favourite in my less mellow days. | | | |

I too understand our firm was called the Ipswich Punishment Squad. I’ve previously been told that we didn’t have the numbers of other clubs but were quite game and punched above our weight somewhat. A former Norwich supporting colleague of mine once placed an NHS badge on my desk, this was apparently a subtle reference to the Norwich Hospital Squad which was evidently our main rival. | | | |

You dont want to know about the awful substances that have to go into petrol to replace the lead.
Now a nice 2 stroke, laying down a smoke screen like a destroyer, running with Castrol R is something else. |  | | |

Seem to remember the North Stand serenading visitors with
“You’ll Never Walk Again” fairly frequently during that time |  |
| Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt |

Another one from 70’s and early 80’s to the tune of My Ding a
Ling, by Chuck Berry.
When I was about the age of three
My mummy she bought a pressie for me
She bought me a budgie on a string
And told me to kick its f***ing head in.
F****ing head in, f***ing head in
She told me to kick its f***ing head in.
Repeat for ages |  | | |

I remember it as "Your'e going home in County Ambulance"
But probably wrong as was living the teenage dream on Top Deck Shandy. |  |

To put that all into context. The away fans were in the west side of the North Stand. Town fans were in the rest of it. A thin line of coppers were inbetween the two. Later they put fences up. One then two. It was great for atmosphere.
Singing against each other. Not like it is now which is a poor immitation.
What you sang was immaterial. Few meant the violence. It was, as now, about winding up the opposition.
East Anglians rarely decended into violence. Big city fans could be awful. Millwall, West Ham, Everton et al. | | | |
