In 1946 Bobby Troup composed a song about travelling along one of the world's most iconic pieces of Tarmac Route 66m, Chris Rea composed a song about the misery of the M25 entitled the Road to Hell, as yet no one has composed one about the M6/A14 incorporating the roadworks at Junction 16 to 19 on the M6. It is these twon wonderful roads that the travelling whites will take on Saturday to get to that most distant of places Ipswich were North End take on bottom of the table Ipswich Town at Portman Road
Town have had a poor start to the season and dispensed with manager Paul Hurst last week and replaced home with that jovial Scot Paul Lambert although Paul Lambert from Emmerdale (pictured) seemed to be surprised that the Town board had offered him the job.
The jovial Scot completes a hat trick of playing North End in his first game which he did when he took over at the Plastics and then the Portuguese team based in Wolverhampton, bad news for us he didn't lose either game.
Previous manager Hurst obviously was getting ready for spending next seaon in League 1 by buying most of his players from League 1 clubs Shrewsbury and Accrington.
Be interesting to see how the home fans react to Lambert given his role as manager at their two local teams Colchester and Norwich.
Here's a bit of Wiki information
Ipswich Town Football Club (also known as Ipswich, The Blues, Town, or The Tractor Boys) is a professional association football club based in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. They play in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system, having last appeared in the Premier League in the 2001–02 season.
The club was founded in 1878 but did not turn professional until 1936, and was subsequently elected to join the Football League in 1938. They play their home games at Portman Road in Ipswich. The only fully professional football club in Suffolk, they have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Norwich City in Norfolk, with whom they have contested the East Anglian derby 139 times since 1902.[2] The club's traditional home colours are blue shirts and white shorts.
Ipswich have won the English league title once, in their first season in the top flight in 1961–62, and have twice finished runners-up, in 1980–81 and 1981–82. They won the FA Cup in 1977–78, and the UEFA Cup in 1980–81. They have competed in the top two tiers of English football uninterrupted since 1957–58. They have competed in all three European club competitions, and have never lost at home in European competition, defeating Real Madrid, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio and Barcelona, among others.[3]
Previous managers included Sir Alf Ramsay and Sir Bobby Robson who both went on to manage the national side, Robson era coincided with having those two classy Dutch players Thijssen and Muhren as well as Wark, Butcher and ex Chorley player Paul Mariner.
Relatively little happens in that part of the world although in 2006 local man Steve Wright thought he would reduce the number of working girls in the area by killing them off, he managed five before he was arrested and sentenced to life, he claimed he was innocent however once caught the number of deaths of working girls decreased by 100% apparently the main area for prostitution in Ipswich is around the Portman Road area so if the game is poor you always got time for a quick one before going home.
Last season we lost 3-0,it was not a stellar performnce one historic event did happen though it was the last time in a North End shirt that one Marnick Vermijl played.
As the clocks went back yesterday it's time for the yellow ball to make an appearence
So a quiz question to end with, who was the first player in England to score a hat trick with the yellow ball?
