You could win the match ball with a 1p on the ball Draw ticket in the late Fifties. I know I did!

We also hold the highest average league attendance in the Fourth Division 19,092 (60/61) The Millwall game was on Good Friday. We also had a massive crowd at home to Peterborough that season who piped us for the title. Of the original 4th division teams (formed in 1958) only Palace and Watford are today in the Premier league. A fair number are now non league or not in existence.

Shameless attempts on my part to hijack another thread so yes I have mentioned it elsewhere but it deserves to be added here. Sort of forgotten in the furore of promotion to the top flight for the first time in 1969 is the fact that we beat Leeds United 2:1 that season in the League Cup. Leeds were not only the current holders but also won The League Championship (top tier) that season. The side we overcame was iconic...
Gary Sprake Paul Reaney Terry Cooper Eddie Gray Jack Charlton Norman Hunter Michael O'Grady (who?) Johnny Giles Mick Jones Paul Madeley Peter Lorimer Have it!!

I stand corrected. He was the first 4th Division player to play for England under 23's so I was half right!

This group has just become even more exclusive with Ipswich's relegation to the third tier. Just 10 clubs since 1977 now. Absolutely incredible for a club of our size.

And when you look at the other (now) 9 Clubs, it is even more remarkable, that our Club, shares the record with them !

Shows the effect of the big cities doesn't it looking at that list - 5 in London, 1 in Manchester, 2 in Liverpool, 1 in Newcastle and 1 in Birmingham.
