even if we hammer maidstone on Saturday on 09:54 - Jan 26 with 3479 views | NthQldITFC | I like it. There's a place called Gillingham (pronounced Gill-, not Jill- I think) just over the Wavey-knee in Norfolk, so we can kind of justify it. |  |

Why ???? Stop this nice crap. Why are you trying to be so nice as it’s a cup game abd I want us to thrash them . |  | |  |

Exactly this...I don't get all the 'let's be nice to them' and 'show them class'. We need to make the atmosphere as toxic as possible and put their fans off to give our boys the added advantage. It's not a charity game, it's a cup game for us to win, progress, get a decent tie in the next round and bring in money. I want as many goals as possible to give all our boys confidence and belief. The more goals the better and. the louder our fans the better and if that means anti-Maidstone chants so be it: You've seen the Ipswich now f**k off home will do for starters. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

After the Buxton game last year, it really struck me that whilst the narrative on non-league fans in cup ties is always broadly nice, that there's this happy-go-lucky, up-for-the-cup, big day out atmosphere, in reality the visiting support are usually as snide/chippy as any other group of visiting fans. |  |

Once they go behind - they will no doubts sing anti Ipswich songs. Probably pro norwich songs All fans are the same Worst idea I’ve seen on here lol |  | |  |

I suspect we may be told that ‘we are just a small town near Norwich!’ Wow thanks for reminding us where we live! Always thought that was a stupid song no matter who sings it. |  | |  |
even if we hammer maidstone on Saturday on 12:38 - Jan 26 with 2903 views | Nutkins_Return | For a bit of balance, after all the 'why - let's make it toxic' etc, I've no massive problem with this. The only caveats for me is that we are at least 3 goals up with 20 mins to go and they haven't been d*#ks. I wouldnt say let's sing anti Gillingham songs. Just a 5 min sing along with them is fine. For the first 70 though it's all about us and ONLY if we've wrapped it up you can send them home with some nice memories. No beef with Maidstone. Wish them well once dispatched! We ARE a classy fan base for the most part. Never ever forget the Billy Sharpe thing. Never been prouder of our fans. |  |

Hope their fans have a lovely day out and all, but I also hope we thump them 7-0 and send em packing. It's a competitive game in the best cup in the world. |  | |  |

I have always liked the "You're just a small club in Fulham" chant when playing Chelsea though. Probably only because it's geographically correct. |  |

Haha, seriously. It's completely harmless. You've not read some of the guff that goes on here. It's Maidstone FFS. If we have to be full Galatasary cauldron atmosphere against Maidstone then we're in big trouble. For sure let's get the game won first. But last 10-15 minutes if it's 4-0 then why not just enjoy it and create a bit of atmosphere because if it's comfortable it will go flat anyway. If it's 1-1 or even 2-1 then absolutely not.

even if we hammer maidstone on Saturday on 14:40 - Jan 26 with 2471 views | Vegtablue | I expect them to take over tbh! A 12:30 KO against a team we should cruise past doesn't scream noisy home crowd, then there's the displacement of our only reliable singing section to factor in. North could be the best it's been in months, Norwich aside, or it could be even more disjointed than normal. Hopefully it's more lively than I'm predicting and we embrace that cup magic. |  | |  |

Always found the “You're just a Bus stop in Chelsea” chant a good one at Fulham. |  | |  |

4-0 "one George Fowler" or "he's one of our own" for Fowler |  |

to the two people who have downvoted, I guess you dont watch ipswich or understand the game - is a competition, you want to win and have the edge over the competition. Jesus, we are not a charity case. Maidstone are a small club we need to bat away to get to the next round. seriously our fan base can be proper wierd - lets clap an opposing team and hope they have a tip top day our over let's win, progrress and get shed loads of money |  | |  |

The downvotes are probably related to the last line of your original post. That chant is so tinpot. For the record I don’t think we need to extend Maidstone any additional welcome other than hosting them and treating them with respect. Think this game could be trickier than some imagine. |  |

Exactly this. I do not join in when this happens at away grounds. That chant is the definition of what the youngsters these days call "cringe." |  | |  |

I know this might sound cruel and heartless but Ipswich need to absolutely hammer Maidstone this afternoon to show how thorough we can be to our Championship rivals. I like the fairytale of FA Cup giant killers but not for us. If we don't get double figures, I'll be disappointed. Football is a competitive game and to play otherwise would be patronising to them |  | |  |

No problem with that, but what has that got to do with what I'm talking about? |  | |  |
