Relegated to the third tier for the first time since 1957.

Last played against the U’s in 1998-99.

A new ground to visit. Might be one for the train

Been there a few times. When we lost 2-3 our crowd chanted there’s only one Tommy Cooper

Can see them being a team that doesn't bounce straight back. Could be a few years in the lower league wilderness.

What's the betting it'll be a Tuesday evening game?

I think I was at that one. Farmers on the pitch at the end throwing coins at us.

If that was the game in '86, was there as well, never seen so much coinage in the air we got absolutely pelted.

We got the last laugh that season. Beat Arsenal last game to relegate Ipswich.

Sure did, for some reason that game was played after the end of the season for everyone else, would ever happen these days.

Two last laughs because after that we had the game at the Manor when they were 3-0 up and still lost.

This piece mentions Oxford sending Ipswich down in ‘86.

Another lot who will be convinced that they are 'too big' to be in L1.

“Small town near Bury St Edmunds, your just a small town near Bury St Edmunds”...?

 

[Peterdev]

I have three friends who regularly go to see Ipswich, and they say they have great hopes for the young players coming through. Relegation has been coming for a few years.

Did they plough up the pitch as well, only been there once so may go if all things being equal.

Got a mate who's an Ipswich fan, he's absolutely livid to be playing the likes of Lincoln next year.

I would imagine Lincoln won’t be too impressed with having to play poxy Ipswich either!

 

[LondonRoader]

A welcome addition to the league.

 

[Essexyellows]

Looking forward to that one myself...... ?

 

[Steve McAvoy]

I expect Ipswich to be very competitive next year. They have a very productive junior set-up and I think have worked out where things have gone wrong (allowing too many experienced forwards move on at the same time). Despite having a Manager who isn’t as good as he thinks he is, expect them to do well.

Tbf, a lot of ours initially thought the same about the Conference in our 1st season.
