Shithousey was always something foreign teams did. Oh and Merry Christmas to you and your families. Up the Town! |  |

The irony of this post. |  |

There was trouble of course and it was ‘the hooliganism era’ but I don’t remember any trouble in the Churchmans in the very late 70s and 80s. I don’t angry blokes abusing our own players either, but I’ve got a crap memory. I saw a few scraps outside the ground though. |  |

Yes, I started watching Town regularly in 1972, partly because my parents reckoned Ipswich was fairly safe for a 14 year old to go to games on their own. I usually stood on Churchmans where I never saw any trouble, although you had to watch yourself outside the ground & more particularly, at the station & on the trains, especially if we were playing a London club. All part of the learning experience of life, I guess. |  |

There was definitely trouble with West Ham and Norwich fans during that timeframe inside Churchmans. Got smacked both times just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. |  | |  |
