Arsenal hate for us?
at 17:45 21 Apr 2025

FA Cup 1978 was the only time I disliked Ipswich, I was 14 paid £17.50 for a ticket and we got outplayed by Ipswich. We then played Ipswich in the first game of the 78/79 season, where there was crowd trouble……but it was the 70s and things were a lot different then.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Portman Road yesterday

Yes purely to the Davis challenge and reaction to it. Did you hear any anti Ipswich before the challenge or outside before the game?

Arsenal do not hate Ipswich.

My view on my visit to Portman Road.

Getting to the ground - public transport and local parking was very good
Away supporters pub the Station Hotel - one of if not the best away supporters pubs in the country.
Stewards and Policing - Both were very good, friendly and welcoming.
Stadium - Excellent stadium, loved the safe standing!
25th minute applause for Louie was respected by both sets of fans
Arsenal songs - up until the 32nd minute Arsenal’s main song was “Arsenal at the Bernabeu, du du du du du du, Tottenham watching Emerdale.
Leif Davis’s foul on Saka - A foul that could have ended Saka’s season, deserved red card which was clear from where I was standing. How would Ipswich fans have reacted if they were about to play in a Champions League semifinal and another teams player made a mindless challenge?
Ipswich fans applaud Leif Davi’s off of pitch and boo Saka. Arsenal chant something that I will not repeat.
Fans in Sir Bobby Robson Stand start singing 2nd again.
Arsenal change their song to Ipswich Town going down and a few other songs aimed at Ipswich.
After game I would say it was 50/50 with both fans ribbing the others, nothing serious.

I hope Ipswich win the championship next season and return to the premiership as I look forward to returning to Portman Road.

Good luck!
