I remember the Ipswich fans running onto the pitch and running towards the Brighton fans in the away section!
A few Brighton supporters rush towards the front and started to climb the fence before the police cordon got in place!
1 Brighton fan got over and led the charge to fight - he was the only one who decided it was a good idea at this point and got swiftly knocked down and then arrested!
I’d seen quite a few games that season, including much of the run in. But work meant I couldn’t do the Oxford clincher.
Mrs C came with me for the Brighton game as my dad was in hospital. The crowd was a sell out of course (26k?) and it was a smashing day.
We were in Churchmans and I couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for Brighton. Relegated with a poor team, outplayed, a toothpaste kit and sponsored by Nobo.
At the end, pitch invasion. Mrs C was off before me and on we went. There’s a piece of my garden that will be forever Portman Road (‘acquired’ a lump of turf in 2000 too). Disgraceful.
What a fun team that was to watch. There were lots of open games that season and despite the odd miserable performance, we were better than the rest.
Happy days! What a season. Nothing like it since. CHAMPIONS! Haven't been able to say it again for more than a third of a century. Maybe one day we'll be able to
Never forget that on 7th. April 2021, for ITFC, the Game Changed.
