Relegated to the third tier for the first time since 1957.
Last played against the U’s in 1998-99.
If that was the game in '86, was there as well, never seen so much coinage in the air we got absolutely pelted.I think I was at that one. Farmers on the pitch at the end throwing coins at us.

Sure did, for some reason that game was played after the end of the season for everyone else, would ever happen these days.We got the last laugh that season. Beat Arsenal last game to relegate Ipswich.
Two last laughs because after that we had the game at the Manor when they were 3-0 up and still lost.We got the last laugh that season. Beat Arsenal last game to relegate Ipswich.
Did they plough up the pitch as well, only been there once so may go if all things being equal.I think I was at that one. Farmers on the pitch at the end throwing coins at us.
Got a mate who's an Ipswich fan, he's absolutely livid to be playing the likes of Lincoln next year.
Another lot who will be convinced that they are 'too big' to be in L1.
They did and they were wrong. Over the course of a league season, clubs end up where they deserve, and if you are relegated then you belong in the division below. No matter what your history, how many supporters you have or however swanky the stadium you play in.Tbf, a lot of ours initially thought the same about the Conference in our 1st season.
I don’t see Ipswich or Bolton being particularly strong if I’m honest. Bolton are a shambles off the pitch and Ipswich have been flirting with relegation for years. Think the third team to be relegated will be more of a force. Would love it to be Reading but think they’ll do enough to stay up.On the face of it 3 strong L1 teams coming down. Ipswich, Bolton, and any 1 from Rotherham/Wigan/Millwall :-(

Yeah, and danced on our pitch. Classless.Didn`t they clinch promotion/title at the Manor in the early 90`s? Seems set in my mind for some peculiar reason...

Bits of it will be strong, but IMO there have been a lot of very very ordinary teams in the division this year, and most of them will still be here next time out.
