You;re right, they were a big group of 100-150 but the season they were active was 85/86 and especially 86/87. After a fairly big riot at PR against Portsmouth's 657 crew in February 87, a lot of the Spanners were jailed or given community service, the trial was September 87. There was also a big fight at Cambridge in the League Cup in October 86.
There was also the IVG around the same time and after 87-89. Smaller and less well known group which was one that emerged out of the Spanners. I dont know what the initials stood for but it was known around town |

Where were those? there were a few independent record shops in east Ipswich, Adams in Spring Road (near Kirby St) and one on Cauldwell Hall Road (near Derby Road). in the late 70s. Square Deal on Norwich Road, was there until at least 83. |

Mintz (or Mince!) and Davies was pretty good in the mid-late 80s. In the Carr Precinct around 82 as you went into the Carr Precinct on the left in the tunnel was aclothes shop, I bought several of those american football shirts from there. Later or next door on the corner there was a record shop there (dont remember the name). Also Martin's bookshop in the Carr Precinct about 75, it became that Christian bookshop. Martins had all the Target Dr Who books.
What about JAH records? on Woodbridge Road near the Masons Arms? I went in there in 79 as an innocent teenager not realising it was all reggae music, place was all Rastas, I was after a chart record lol , in the wrong place! |

ORWELL books next to the Spread Eagle, all the Dungeons & Dragons books and stuff and lots of good books. I miss that place. Also Amberstones in the Wash in the 90s. Ipswich Market on a big car park where Crown Pools is now, massive and the best second hand book stall ever. The market was there around 80-82 then it moved across to where Tower Ramparts had been demolished. Around the late 80s it moved to near the Civic Centre. Jeans off the market were good value. |

and Barnaby Rudge clothes shop in Carr St, had some good gear in there, once spent a week's YTS allowance in there on 2 jumpers, that was a lot in 83. It was on same side of street as Carr Precinct. I was ignorant of Dickens at the time, I didnt realise where the shop got its name. |

Rovian (Queen St) and Mick McNeils (Tacket St) in the early 80s. which sports shop was at the top of High St near Crown St? I got my Adidas Samba from there in 83. Was it still Aldridges?
Any other sports shops in Ipswich in late 70s/early 80s? |
