Looks like two sections still to be allocated....would be great if we could go a long way towards filling the whole stand. |

I'm in the same position. I think it could even go to general sale, as Preston will release more tickets if the demand is there. Should be the same for Blackburn.
Some of the midweek away games could well go to season tickets or even general.....maybe Bristol City, Hull and Middlesbrough. |

Apologies for previous misleading information....there appears to be only one lane open in each direction.
I don't get out of Woodbridge much. |

Reply | Alf's 5 forwards
at 12:01 17 Jul 2025
Yes, a very good article...one other refinement, the right winger was Roy "Rocky" Stephenson, those of us that played local cricket a few decades ago would also remember him as a decent wicketkeeper/batsman.
Doug Moran was more of an inside forward, supporting Crawford and Phillips and he certainly weighed in with his fair share of goals from that position.
What the OP has done is reinforced my opinion that Alf was our best ever manager. He was as innovative as any manager in English football since WW2, took a nondescript side from the third division to become champions of England, a one-off never to be repeated, and although of course Bobby produced three great sides, a deal of credit should go to Bobby Ferguson for his tactical innovations, whilst Alf did it all himself.
We will never know of course, but it is interesting to speculate how we would have progressed had Alf not been called up for the England job. |

WB Junior also doing Adelaide and Melbourne, going with the Barmy Army.
Hellishly expensive but it's his gap year so a great opportunity for him. |

Thread | Burnt Mill Brewery at Woodbridge

Anybody tried the craft beers brewed by Burnt Mill?
WB Junior has recently started working at Hopsters on Woodbridge Quay and in the interest of keeping him company I have been working my way through the menu of beers.
Very good choice, including an 8% option, can recommend this bar particularly on a nice summer evening. Decent restaurant next door (The Boathouse) and a pizza restaurant (The Woodyard). |

Yes, that's good too. Simply called "The Cafe". A very good alternative to The Whistlestop.
Closed on Tuesdays I think, so it's a really decent option on Wednesdays and Thursdays. |

Not in Ipswich, and a bit above the £10 threshold, but The Whistlestop Cafe at Woodbridge Station do a very nice breakfast and brunch. Highly recommended, although it does get busy this time of year.
Closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. |

Full House, but then I was around at the time the earlier winners triumphed!
I think if I ever went on Mastermind, FA Cup Finals would be a contender for my specialist subject.
Bit nerdy really. |

There's actually a better one in Woodbridge....The Royal Bengal in Quay Street. A bit more expensive but more variation and choice.
Shapla's fine though. |

That's right, we actually beat Chappel away a couple of years ago but both they and Bardwell are heading for promotion from division four this year.
We need a season without an upwardly mobile team. |

Yes, there's usually a team that starts in division nine that cruises through every division until they get to at least division three....this year it's Brightlingsea. Makes promotion quite a challenge.
We usually lose the odd game unexpectedly as well, but even at division six level there are enough decent individuals to be match winners and makes winning enough games to achieve promotion very difficult.
We'll keep trying though. |

Lot of very nice cricket grounds in Suffolk.
Our home ground at Melton St Audry's is decent, near to us Easton, Worlingworth and Sudbourne Hall are all picturesque, but the most "village" ground surely has to be my former ground at Fishpond Meadow, Waldringfield.
Anyone else played there? |

I joined Surrey CCC as a member in 1988, the year Chalky made his debut.
It was quite evident from very early on that we were witnessing the emergence of a special talent.
I have lost count of the number of crucial, significant and hugely entertaining innings he played, both for County and Country, in the days when England internationals played a full season for their county.
Met him several times as in those days the Surrey players would join supporters after games in the much missed Surrey Tavern, very approachable and likeable man.
As a long standing Surrey Supporter, this is my saddest day since the tragic loss of Tom Maynard and before that Ben Hollioake.
Sad day, gone much too soon. RIP Chalky and thanks for the memories. |

Woke up for work at 6.00 and the first thing that entered my mind was that my son, aged 17, got his first century in men's cricket yesterday, 106 not out. An emotional occasion.
Then I remembered the football.
Then I went back to the cricket. |
