Tomorrow us, Cambridge and Colchester all have home games.

I can recall my dad and I going to watch Cambridge at home v Tranmere one morning and then on to PR to see Town in the afternoon. It may have been a Boxing Day or New Year's Day fixture - probably in the early 90's.

No idea whether Colchester were also at home.

Edit: it seems it was Boxing Day 1990 and Town lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough in the afternoon in front of 12k people. TWTD...
Colchester drew 0-0 at home to Barnet

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.

Top three clubs in East Anglia all playing at home on the same day must be fairly uncommon.

12,508. I was at the game but can’t remember anything about it. No surprise really. 12k wasn’t too bad a crowd for us in those days. 10k, 11k was more normal, with the odd exception such as West Ham or Newcastle.

Crowds in general were much smaller in those days. I notice Newcastle’s crowd against us was only 17,600.

No membership or obsession about points needed in those days. What joy there was to be had watching David Hill and Andy Bernal strutting their stuff in the midwinter mud.
