Pride of Anglia - Ipswich Town Football Club
since 1878
This weeks front page features a selection of programme covers from the 1955-56 season, Alf Ramsey`s first season in charge at Portman Road. It proved to be an exciting one too with the Blues widely acclaimed as the most attractive footballing side in the Third Division (South). They scored 106 goals setting a club record that is unlikely to be beaten and finished the season in third place missing out on promotion by just one point!

This weeks front page features the construction of the new Portman Stand (later renamed the Cobbold Stand) in 1971: The centre section of the stand (wings were added a year or so later) was built during the close season in just 102 days. Compare and contrast with the rebuilding of Wembley (7 years) and the rebuilding of Stamford Bridge (about 30 years!).
