Has he just returned?
No. He played for the U21s.
have you got the figures after that? Below 10,000 gates for Wimbledon etc in 80s was not uncommonNot really. It remained fairly constant through the decade:
They’d be daft not to play for a winAny news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?
Answering my own question!!!have you got the figures after that? Below 10,000 gates for Wimbledon etc in 80s was not uncommon

Their manager has said he is making wholesale changes same as the last roundAny news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?
Don't think they're as good as Leeds even at full strength. Can't see anymore than a winAny news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?
Just hope Frank puts out a strong side! 30k crowd and a weaker squad is not a good mix and a bit of excitement goes down a treat “especially a good cup win”Don't they're as good as Leeds even at full strength. Can't see anymore than a win
Not sure about the dugout but definitely not block 5 I guess for segregation. Away end also holds 6K and they were given 4.8K so another 1.2K segregation.They've not opened the blocks behind the dugouts have they? Block 5 closed too.
And they were tough times for a lot of people...Not really. It remained fairly constant through the decade:
My mate told me I was misremembering that periodAnd they were tough times for a lot of people...
From the telegraph he wont be in the squad today. Even then Lampard hinted he wont be starting straight away anywayJust want big boy Ephron to get a few mins and be ready to unleash hell on QPR.
IMO the biggest factor was the introduction of the all-seater arrangement in 1981. The large standing areas on the Spion Kop were replaced by a much smaller bunch of plastic seats completely exposed to the elements, and not surprisingly it wasn't popular.Answering my own question!!!
Pretty poor, although reflection of the game, the economy at the time as well….

Yeah but being a yo yo club is OK even though it will be a tough year after promotion.I don't think the issue is are we good enough or are we ready for the playoffs. The issue is we're miles off being ready for the Premier League as is everyone else in the Championship baring Leeds. I imagine Burnley & Sheff Utd will go up with Leeds and both will come straight back down. The gulf is just massive.

I suspect Doug's hunt for investors will succeed if we can achieve promotion.
All seater… plus a bigger factor was the recession and interest rates of 16+% for home buyers. The Coventry/Warks area was hit very hard with job losses and lowing wages for those who worked.IMO the biggest factor was the introduction of the all-seater arrangement in 1981. The large standing areas on the Spion Kop were replaced by a much smaller bunch of plastic seats completely exposed to the elements, and not surprisingly it wasn't popular.
The change also pretty much coincided with Dave Sexton becoming manager, and although he was a respected coach his style was pretty dull compared to the entertaining approach of Gordon Milne.
Their resilience and blind optimism is awesomeThere is only 1 single club in the premier league era that has never had a sub 30k crowd for a PL game, and that’s Newcastle.
I’d rather us be a top six championship side for a while. It will take a restructure of the Premiership league(s.I'd take being a yo-yo club over finishing 9th-16th every year in the prem 10000%
Did I hear Clive say he may have to sit out the QPR game as well due to a suspension,or did I dream this?Grimes can’t play he is cup tied.
Game seems to have sold out. Surprised no announcement from the club so far, will be people heading up who are not aware.
No potg all seasonMight have kept some back for POTG? Don’t think they’ve released the blocks they sometimes do yet have they? Or hoping they can bump people into Legends Lounge.
Have they advertised pay on the gate? Not sure it's been a thingGame seems to have sold out. Surprised no announcement from the club so far, will be people heading up who are not aware.
No I mean heading up with a view to buying from t/o. Just had a mate text saying he might head up a get a ticket, but would be a wasted journey. You snooze you lose I suppose, just surprised there has been no announcement. Sure there will be soon though.Have they advertised pay on the gate? Not sure it's been a thing
