Reply | Odds for 1975/76 season.

From memory I had £5 at 40/1, a huge bet for then.
It may be that I'm guilty of having exagerated the odds over the years though! Perhaps the size of the bet as well! [Post edited 10 May 10:29]

Probably the wrong place to post this, but the club have announced that Aaron Drewe is leaving. No surprise there!
Good luck Aaron. |

I'm going for the Russell Martin Challenge Cup Final. Southampton against Norwich.
I know he comes across as arrogant as a manager, but he was the one player at Norwich that I didn't mind! |

Sorry Hants. My original post is now edited!
It was the 79/80 season Allen & Goddard scored 44 goals between them. I was only a decade out!  |

Both times Hants! It takes somebody special to stop Harold being, in my view, our most despicable manager!
The last game of the 78/79 season will always remain with me. I was in the School End with my wife (Ipswich supporter) & iother Ipswich fans that i drank with before Ipswich home midweek games.
I could just about handle relegation. I could just about handle being thrashed by Ipswich. What I STILL struggle with is the sympathy they all had for me when Docherty's appointment was announced! |

Thanks Clive.
I think you covered everything about this season, our manager & the clubs attitude (especially about end of season "dead rubbers") perfectly.
The comparison with the 06/07 season once again comes to the fore, but I'm sure we are in a far better place now than we were then.
I'm too bloody old to be getting excited about our future. But I am! |

What! Again?
They've had two in my lifetime!
Not as many as Brighton though. |

More to the point is to ask why Paal & Colback were static & allowing Allen six yards of free space.
He was also very brave and decisive when he picked up his inhury. |

He has been going off in recent matches.
I suspect he has a niggle which wasn't worth risking. |

He played very well apart from his distribution.
I thought Dixon-Bonner was quite good as well. |

I could understand the sale of Clive Allen as the offer was too good to turn down. What STILL upsets me is then selling Paul Goddard! Both started the 79/80 season as teenagers & scored 44 league goals between them!
I knew a few Rangers fans who vowed never to go again after selling Rodney, but the truth was that he had stopped performing for us & we were unbeaten for the rest of the season. Bowles, Givens & Thomas replacing him was a masterstroke!
Venables falling out with Gregory & going to Barcelona is probably the worst moments in our history that I can recall. Appointing Docherty (twice), Redknapp & Mullery (in that order) are the closest I can come to.
I should know a lot better, but I share your enthusiasm for Marti! [Post edited 6 May 16:58]

On the one hand I remember how bad we've been in many last games of the season & that we won't turn up.
On the other hand I've stated a few times that this season has reminded me of the 06/07 season. That year we won at home to Preston, away at Leicester & Coventry.
Can we do that again? |

Since moving to Ipswich in '74 there have not been too many times that I've wanted Ipswich to win, but today I definitely do!
However, I was at Wembley in '78, St. Etienne & Amsterdam in '81, but today might top all of those! |

Thanks Clive.
Best wishes to all of you that will be at Coventry tomorrow. I hope the team give you (and us at home) a performance, but I've seen too many of these last matches to take that for granted. I'm still bitter about the visit to Norwich in Holloway's second spell!
I also understand that it will be difficult for the players to reach the levels of the last two matches as safety has been achieved. Hopefully they will play, but I won't be slagging them off if they are not at their best.
Thank you Clive for all the previews & thank you to all of our fans for the superb support that they have given this season. |

It does say that Marti had said that he isn't leaving. |

Not any of the Ipswich supporters that I know!
And having lived there since 1974, I know quite a few! |
