Was having this discussion with a mate the other week, would it be better to stay down in London the night before or travel down on the day?
I know fans from clubs up north tend to stay over the night before and one set takes over Trafalgar Square etc but with us being close do people reckon we’d have numbers down there for that? |  |

That’s the other side of it, do you stay behind in London of travel back to Ipswich to celebrate? Getting back to Ipswich would be the thing to do surely? | |

I don't live in Suffolk or have family there. I''ll be staying in London and celebrating/drowning my sorrows there. | |

Funny you should say that Nogs, I was looking at flights back in for the last game but now holding off in case the (lottery) play offs loom. Wish you’d of asked I’d share a room with you, (not bed though) you’ve got cold feet……..probably! |  | | |

Sorry old chap. I'll be staying at the Union Jack Club, but you'd be welcome to a single room as my guest. Cheap rooms, bar and restaurant. | |

....booked a hotel in Clevedon, the final was in Cardiff then.
Decided not to cancel it, as it was far enough away from Cardiff that it wouldn't just be football fans about, and took the wife away for a nice weekend.
Ended up having a fight with a West Ham fan in a Chinese Restaurant.

Driving up the A12 after Wembley 2000 brought a tear to my eye - people all over the bridges with flags/banners, farmers being creative in the fields… loved it. |  |

'farmers being creative in the fields' is a euphemism, right? |  |

Went by coach. When we got back to Ipswich about 8 or so in the evening, the cops had made all the pubs close. Spoilsports. So we celebrated in the square til the wee hours. |  |

Loved that day by coach.
All the town fans on the bridges. Ontop of the traffic lights on the way home. Felt like we had won the game not just followed the team to it lol.

Yep - remember that. All the bridges we passed under on the A14/A12 had ITFC flags on them. Felt like the whole country was on our side. Had a couple of beers with some Barnsley fans before the game, and they were really friendly, wished us luck for the game, etc. | |

Best day ever as a town fan just full of fun. Laughter and memories.
I remember at the stadium. Went to the gents and it was full of town fans and a lad in Barnsley red.
" so who's everyone supporting today then" he came out with. Just a wonderful moment that showed what the day was about. | |

Lol :) Yeah great day out. That day, coupled with beating Bolton in the semi final second leg at home was just a fantastic couple of weeks for a being a Town fan. Was in churchmans stand for the bolton game. Probably the best stand to be in that night. We all got on the pitch after the whistle and I was on Anglia News behind Sheepy being interviewed, jumping up and down like a nutter! | |
