I have kept extensive records of all the games I have been to:
Including friendlies I have been to 816 Ipswich games (740 home, 76 away)
W: 385 D: 205: L 226 GF: 1304 GA: 932
Biggest win 8-1 v Avenir Beggin Biggest Loss: 0-7 v Chelsea
I have just started compiling a spreadsheets for attendances, I'm up to 2020 - so still have 3 more years to enter and Interestingly (to me at least), the total attendances for games at Portman Road is just over 12 million with an average attendance of 17459. This will only continue to rise is the current performances continue. The average for away games is 14492.
Per competition:
Top Tier: 95 Games 2nd Tier: 524 Games 3rd Tier: 49 Games FA Cup: 34 Games, League Cup: 44 games
Top 5 Players I have seen the most:
Mick Stockwell - 263
Luke Chambers - 172
Simon Milton - 161
Richard Wright: - 159
Richard Naylor - 151
Top 5 Goalscorers

Reply | World cup style injury time.
at 22:56 5 Aug 2023
i suppose it's like everything, you can't please everyone. Living in Lowestoft and finishing work at 6pm, I would never get to an evening game on time if it kicked off at 7pm. Also, with me working 1 in 3 Saturdays, I happy when games sometimes switch from a Saturday to a Fri/Sun for TV if it falls on a Saturday I'm working, but I know this is a big bugbear for some people.
With regards the added time, I'm all for it Also, refs cracking down on any form of sh*thousery. My son plays hockey at a decent level and cards are handed out regularly for not retreating for a free hit or any form of backchat to the umpires. It's just accepted that you will be punished and therefore, discipline is so much better as a result. The powers that be have let it go on for far too long in football and I fear the horse bolted a long time ago with them trying to stamp it out, but I live in hope!! |

I remember Clough's last game well. I had broken my leg earlier in the season, so had my season ticket moved to the front tier of the West Stand right down by the tunnel so I didnt have far to walk with my crutches. Consequently I had a great view as Clough made his entrance onto the pitch before the match. In true Cloughie style he milked it as the numerous photographers scrambled to get the best shot. Then from nowhere a elderly lady who must have been in her 80s came to the front of the stand and handed him a bouquet of flowers and gave him a kiss. Truely bizarre |

Not a Ipswich game, but Lowestoft Town had a player in the 90's called Lee Pike.
He committed a bad foul and as the referee got his notebook out to take his name, someone in the crowd shouted 'don't tell him Pike'.
One for the Dad's Army fans! |

I sometimes referee my son's junior matches. I'm not qualified or had any training, just doing it as a favour. It's harder than it looks and I have had abuse on three separate occasions . Every time from coaches who act like it's the Premier League on the touchline. Each time, this behaviour has seeped through to the impressionable 11 year olds who then begin questioning every decision too.
Once after his team conceded a goal, a coach walked onto the field of play before the game restarted and asked if I had seen the push on his goalkeeper and called me a retard when I asked him to leave the field of play!!
I would never in a million years referee an adult game! |
