New Wolsey Theatre After Stories for Event Marking 1978 FA Cup Triumph
Friday, 3rd Mar 2017 19:30

The New Wolsey Theatre is after stories relating to Town’s 1978 FA Cup win for an event marking the 40th anniversary of the Blues’ triumph at Wembley in the spring of 2018. The Ipswich Town Supporters Club is co-ordinating the collection of these reminiscences, which will also be used as part of the ITFC Heritage Project.

The Theatre wants to hear from those caught up in the events of 1978, from the third round victory at Cardiff in January to the final in May, as well as the euphoria of the victory parade.

Stories that are funny or quirky, coincidences and twists of fate, the scramble for tickets, the making of banners, trips to Bristol, Millwall or Highbury for the semi-final or even if you weren’t a supporter but somehow got caught up in the events.

Send your stories directly to the club, including your phone contact details, to fa_cup78@btinternet.com using the subject line ‘FA Cup Memory’.

Alternatively, you can contact the Supporters Club by visiting their website. Use the same subject line ‘FA Cup Memory’ to submit. You can also post your entries, including your phone and email contact details, to Elizabeth Edwards, Ipswich Town Supporters Club, Portman Road, Ipswich, IP1 2DA

It’s recommended that you keep your memories to a maximum of 500 words and feel free to submit photos or images to support your story. Your details will be shared with the New Wolsey Theatre so they may contact you about your memories for the event.

The producer/director was at the Dove last night,talking about the proposed production on what was as usual an excellent night with Warky & Rodger;interesting to here their take on the current situation at their beloved club,plus anecdotes from around the FA Cup run etc.

The Italians were also there plus a couple of Scandinavian families with their young children all decked out in Ipswich Town colours.
