and we then played Burton, that would mean we would have had consecutive matches in the league against the same opposition.
Does anyone know, has that happened before? |  |

Didn’t it happen against Fulham once around Christmas? (1963) [Post edited 26 Dec 2020 19:59]

63/64 according to this site. http://stats.football.co.uk/head_to_head/ipswich_town/vs/fulham/index.shtml#:~:t
You are doing well to remember it. A record score too in the first match.
EDIT: Appears like it was scheduled for those dates too. [Post edited 26 Dec 2020 20:02]

Usually did play the same team home and away at Christmas time.
The last time that I can find that we did was in 1967 when we were home to Millwall on Boxing Day and away to them on 30th December.
In 1960 we played Naarwich on consecutive days, we won 3-0 at Carrot Rud on 26th and beat them 4-1 at PR on 27th. |  | | |

Facters told me about it.
It just lodged in my brain because of the record defeat (and then getting a result in the reverse fixture). It absolutely screams Christmas hangovers. | | | |

Yep.
26th Dec 1-10
28th Dec 4-2
Just 2 days later which is shorter than a month or so.
I was 9 and my brother knew someone who went to the away match.
Apparently the team appeared drunk. |  |

Oh to have seen us in 1960 and the following year ... and then England in 66 too.
I cannot recall anything of 78 or 81 even. Although I do have good memories of the 90s and early 2000s. | |

I seem to recall us playing Watford home and away very soon after the other in 91-92 and 02-03. I will look to see just how close. |  |

The return at Portman Road was played in thick fog that sometimes lifted.
I was at the front of Churchmans but had no idea what was going on beyond the half way line at times. | | | |

Lambert teams would suit playing in fog. You could always be absolutely certain what is going on beyond the halfway line..... | | | |

Lulling Fulham into a false sense of security ready for the return fixture. Rather like we did to that Man Utd team too. | |

In 91/92 we won 1-0 at Watford on 7th March and lost 2-1 at home on 17th March-info from Ipswich Town-The Modern Era. | | | |

That 1-2 home game was the only one I missed that season.
My irrational brain thought we had blown promotion that night. | |

91/92 we had Leicester at home in between the two matches.
2002/03 the Watford matches were 17 November and 14 December with 4 matches in between. | |

Going more tenuous. We played Walsall in successive football league games. Last game of 99-00. First game of 02-03.
*Not counting play-off games. | |

Similarly in 95/96 we played Leicester on 3rd March & 13 March with the 3-3 draw at Barnsley in between. | |

The season before it happened twice in the 66/67 season.
Charlton 20th and 26th December and Crystal Palace in consecutive days 27th and 28th March. |  | | |

So, it used to be a deliberate thing around Christmas and Easter. Wasn't it always a reasonably local side so that fans didn't have to travel too far at the holiday times? Hence, Norwich, Palace and Charlton. | |

The first game was originally scheduled for boxing day as I remember heading up the A14 to it only to reach somewhere between Bury and Cambridge before giving up due to the weather. It was no surprise to get home to find it had been called off by then. | |

Not always localish-we played Huddersfield on 26th and 28th December 1964 and Southampton twice at Easter 1965. [Post edited 26 Dec 2020 21:48]

I'm the same. I remember Adam & The Ants being number one with Stand And Deliver but not ITFC lifting the UEFA cup, sadly. |  |
