Walking around a retail park with wife? Or ——> Watch ITFC for a tenner! Should’ve been 38,011 at that game!

I was at the 38,010 game against Leeds and would say that if I was the size then that I am now then our record attendance would only be 38,000. :wink:

Agreed, looking back now it does make you wonder how there were not more tragedies back in those days.

I was a teenager (wow i am old) and also went to the replay(s) and at filbert street where the leicester fans were supporting ipswich too. I went to the round before as well (v liverpool) where we had 34k and beat them 1-0. If you look at their side clemence, neal, thompson, keegan, toshack, heighway, callaghan - they were immense - and so were we to beat them! I went into the north stand with a mate wearing my scarf and it was a sea of red and white (pre-ticket days and liverpool 'took' the stand). They took my scarf off me and burned it at the back of the stand. My mate and i had to jump out of the stand at the front and run over into the west stand to escape! Liverpool fans were in town too - asking people the time and if you didnt answer in a liverpudlian accent, you got chased and a kicking! What amazes me so much is that with that liverpool team of legends, we beat teams like that every week and at the time, i had no idea how good it was to be a town fan... i feel for those of later generations who can probably not relate to those stories. How lucky we were!

Due to work only went to the game at PR and the 3-2 at Filbert Street, Wood’s banana shot will always live in the memory.
Went to all our other FA Cup games that season and the defeat in the Semi-Final replay at Stamford Bridge is still the lowest I have ever felt after a Town game. To say I was gutted would be a massive understatement.
