What was the first Town game you ever attended?

[Frosty]

Sadly, mine was only recently, away at Leicester early Janurary 2010. Loved every minute, the game finished 1-1.

Interestingly it was the only game played at all that weekend due to some of the worst weather the UK had seen in years

[Riviera]

Plymouth v Town 88/89 i think, John Duncan days (shudders)

Ended 1-1, Sergei Baltacha coming off the bench and looking a class above

First home game was Town 3 Brighton 1, sending them down and we picked up the Championship trophy, i think im right in saying it was the last game with terracing at PR, a great day out never to be forgotten.

Ipswich v camb utd when they had John beck in charge of them early 90ies

Did that end 1-1? If so that's the first one I remember although I couldn't be sure that was my first.

First Town game was at PR, and ended 2-0 to Norwich. 98 or 99 season maybe. Fabian Wilnis had a howler of a game, was at fault for both City goals.

Ipswich vs Crewe Alexandra in 2004 at Portman Road. Yes, the game that we won 6-4, not a bad way to start!

Terrible way to start. Got your hopes up an then all down hill from there

[hallamblue]

Town vs Derby County - night match in 1969!
We lost to a Kevin Hector goal late in the game scored at the NS end...followed by streams of "IZEL" clear toliet roll sailing over my head toward the pitch being thrown by North Standers from the back of the stand lol

as I kid I stood down the front of the stand leaning against the wall.

[Jome_ITFC]

At home to Sheffield Utd in the late 90's, that's about all I can remember of it.

I chose not to look at it that way! There was a 2-3 year gap between that and my next game though, I believe it was against Sunderland in 2006 which happened to be one of Roy Keane's first games in charge and we won 3-0 I think...

[The Don]

If you have another 2-3 year break, you can enjoy us grinding out a result against Bishops Stortford.

Fantastic, see you all in 36 months!

FA cup match v Shrewsbury at the Gay Meadow . Early 80 s. Seem to remember we won. Lived in Shrewsbury at the time and was a season ticket holder at the Meadow. Sat there shouting Come on Town leaving folks non the wiser.

[jerry2011]

Embarrassing I know but I cant remember? It was 1970 though

[BLUEBLOOD]

1st game FA Charity shield August 1979 notts forest lost 5-0
1 game at PR skeid oslo uefa cup october 1979 Won 7-0

not a bad start 1st 2 games 12 goals.

[seattle_gk]

Oct 99 at PR. ITFC-4 Charlton-2 at PR. The atmosphere was awesome. I think I was in the North Stand.

[Charnwood]

Far to long ago to be 100% sure but my best guess would be v Sheffield Wednesday in 1958. This is the first 1st Team game I can remember going to but may have been earlier. I certainly went to Portman Road earlier for Reserve Team matches but I think this was my first season watching the 1st Team.

[eastlondonblue]

home to liverpool 0-3 1977-north stand (a little tight in there that night)

[jeremy rusher]

1969 with a milk crate to stand on.

[clivewoodsleftpeg]

versus wolves at home 1974, I met David Johnson(the original) on the platform at the train station on the way home, how times have changed !!

[James Scharmann]

1-1 vs Stoke all I know is they scored a 90th mintue equaliser 1996 I believe...

[Adz C]

Think it was Southampton at home in Feb 1995. Not very memorable apart from that we won. Then I saw us in the cup against blackburn the next season, think I remember Alan Shearer scoring.

[02whitma]

Forgot what year but think it was Barnsley at home where we beat them 5:0!!?

[chrisherts]

We lost this one 2 1. Stockwell equalised, but they scored again. The return game ended 1 all

[lucy]

2004/2005 season. We beat Rotherham 4-3 at home i think it was.

2004/2005 season. We beat Rotherham 4-3 at home i think it was.

I remember that one as I was there - cracking game, cracking atmosphere - night game, over 26,000 in PR. Not often I get to home games of an evening, but I managed to wangle a meeting in Southend on the day

[derick_ipsw]

I can't remember who were playing but it was at P R in 1968

[TheRamboPenguin]

Mine was in the 2004/5 season i was about 7/8 at the time and i come from dorset but have family in Ipswich and i always go to watch when i go up but it was against rotherham and we were in the playoff position and we won 4-3 in the end, but i will always remember watching Jim Magilton walking up to take the corner he was my favourite player

[TheRamboPenguin]

2004/2005 season. We beat Rotherham 4-3 at home i think it was.

I wrote mine and saw your post, our first game was exactly the same!
