On a different note, who travelled there at the back end of 1989 only to have to come home again because the game had been postponed, due to waterlogged pitch, by a referee called Mr Flood?
I was on a Eastern National coach that turned round at Grantham Services.

Think that was the 4:3 match that was rearranged. If ever a referee's name was appropriate.

I honestly can't remember if I went to this. I'm sure there was a 3-3 draw with them around this time as well. I definitely did make it to one of them, if not both.

Longer memories might stretch to IPSWICH 5 HULL 4 in October 1966. We used to throw a tanner into a kitty and correct guesser of the score cleaned up. Particularly remember it because in the preposterous confidence of youth I actually called it exactly right and took the kitty. It was the prolific Hull side With Wagstaffe and Chilton in it.
I went there in 1990. Saw the 3-3 draw. Remember it being a long train journey from Sussex and a long walk from the station. And it was very wet. Away end consisted of about 12 steps and the back of a supermarket I think. Stockwell was superb that season. Should have won but conceded a dodgy free-kick. Never been back!

I was at PR for the home game two weeks earlier. Hull won 1-0 after Brian Gayle scored an own goal from a corner in front of the North Stand after a terrible Town performance.
Hull had the legend Billy Whitehurst up front and the even bigger legend Stan Ternent managing them.
At full time there was an on the pitch protest against John Duncan with it getting a bit out of hand and the cops chasing a few lairy individuals around the pitch.

That was Duncan protest part one. There was a bigger one v Blackburn at the next game (last home game of the season). I think there were clashes in town after as well but from memory, some Blackburn were involved too.
The next week, Duncan was wearing a jersey with no.1 on his back at WBA.

You're right, the Blackburn game protest was organised, Hull spontaneous.
I remember looking forward to the first game of the John Lyall era a few months later and Sheffield Wednesday playing us off the park for 90 minutes. Took a season and players like Wark, Whitton and Goddard coming in to get us going.

Things were pretty desperate by the time of that 1-0 defeat. I remember David Linighan's substitution late in the game being celebrated by the crowd. He really wasn't popular, and I didn't expect to see him play for Town again - I don't think he played again that season. But he was back in favour when Lyall took over and of course two years later he was lifting the Division 2 championship trophy.

Yes, Lyall inherited the nucleus of a decent team, with players like Dozzell, Kiwomya, Forrest, Linighan, Milton, Stockwell, Thompson, Zondervan, Wark & Yallop. First season was something of a holding brief & we certainly didn't improve. We then won the league with essentially the same team plus Steve Whitton, Gavin Johnson who'd come through to replace Yallop & Paul Goddard, who played less than half the games.
Funny enough, I loved that era with Ipswich. It was proper football, muddy pitches, shallow terracing, away day trains. Yes the football under John Duncan was bang average but I longed for every Saturday to come round so I could see my team. And knowing that we wouldn't win every week made each victory that little more sweeter. I started supporting Ipswich towards the end of Bobby Robson's era so I was too young to really appreciate that success at the time. But in the late 80s/early 90s Ipswich became a way of life for me. Travelling up and down the country a sort of rights of passage as a teenager. From ending up in a Bournemouth sex shop to throwing up out of an InterCity on the way to a 5-0 defeat at Port Vale. There's not the same feel about football now. Yes, I'm older and my priorities have changed but modern football comes at you thick and fast, the quality feels diluted and the expectations wildly inflated. I hope the younger members of this forum still get that same buzz about the club that I enjoyed at a similar age but I feel sorry for them that they have had to put up with such a depressing situation as we have now. In fact, I applaud them for putting up with such a depressing situation as we have now. I still enjoy watching Ipswich, I still get the same tinge of excitement about going to a game and I miss my Saturday afternoons right now. But, even if we had a competent manager and a decent side, I'd still happily go back to standing on a cold, wet Boothferry Park terrace not knowing whether Micky Stockwell was going to play in defence, midfield or up front that day.

Agree. Modern football lacks the soul of that era. Commercialised and sanitised to f***.

What about the 1-1 draw at Hull in 1968 !! on an Easter Monday then played them again the following night at Portman Road. Remember both sets of fans changed ends at half time, stewards would go mad now.
