Guest Garryswfcowl72 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 With all this hot weather it got me thinking about Ipswich away in 1990 the start of a iconic season in our history & the hottest I’ve ever been at a football match it’s was unbearable the heat that day crammed in that away end with 5-6k fellow WEDNESDAYITES spilling on to the pitch when Willow bagged brilliant memories. That kit was a thing of beauty & so was the style of play we played Atkinson’s Barny Army . “ yellows yellows “ . Just imagine if we pull Ipswich away first game of the this season Just hope it’s not a 4-1 opening day loss like the last time we got them on the opening day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I was at that game…… what a season. And the best away kit of all time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertowl Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I was fortunate enough to be in the seats that day, so not exposed to the ridiculous overcrowding in the away standing (strange to think in those days the away seats were at the opposite end of the ground to the away standing). Not the hottest though, that has to be Swindon away, first game of the season - uncovered end and a refreshment stand that ran out of refreshments. I along with many others left half way thru the second half, despite Wednesday being 3 up at half time i think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2blue Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Think everyone was confident it was going to be a good season, remember singing just before kickoff “bring on the champions” was a hot day but Swindon away was the hottest I’ve been at a game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Fantastic day out. Went via Colchester then stopped in a lovely old thatched pub in the middle of Constable country. Couldn’t believe the number of yellow shirts everywhere as we drove into Ipswich. What a team, what a season!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of our fans seemed miles away but we made a lot of noise up in those seats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That was the first game when I started going away regularly, I was 18, and I'd only been to about 5 away matches before that (1 of those being at Maine Road at the tail end of the previous season, and 2 of them being FA Cup semis). I've clocked up a good few hundred awaydays since then - although oddly I haven't actually been back to Ipswich since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthing_owl Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That was my wife's first ever match. She couldn't believe the surging after we scored it was alien to her, we had only been going out a month or so at the time. She saw me in a different light, driving through Ipswich shouting to the Wednesday hordes. What a day!! Went to Swindon too, I was in the front row behind the goal almost begging for drinks as people passed by selling them, no roof, just baking sun for hours..... loved it though.

onlyonedavidhirst Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Totally agree that Swindon was the hottest. Swindon was the hottest match I've ever been to, but Ipswich was just a superb day out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Remember it well. Was one of my favourite ever away days. Stopped off at the services and it was just a sea of yellow. Fantastic start to the season and glorious weather. Also remember the overcrowding and it was only the year after the Hillsborough disaster so it was a bit raw still but luckily nobody was hurt. Bit alarming to see people climbing over fences again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Mad day that. We ended up opposite end of the ground with the ipswich fans...didn't seem to mind. There was so many of us that day and a great season, travelling with George and Dragon at Mosboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Fantastic day. We were in the seats,thankfully. That away end looked dangerously packed. When we got to ipswich there were wednesdayites everywhere. Even their fans were in awe of how many of us were there. We utterly destroyed them and even missed a penalty. The football was amazing and you just knew that season would be good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl in Manc Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I was there, kept asking us to move to the front of the terrace! I soon went over the fence with my brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffordshireowls Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Very congested in the away end! Not that long after the disaster so a little worrying at times, particularly when many started to escape over the fence at the front. Just remember not being able to move much when we scored.
