he still isn't happy about it, as you can imagine. my brother also supports norwich but both my parents support ipswich! we were brought up near norwich as youngsters and my old man couldn't afford to take either of us to drive us back and forth to games at ipswich but the father of my best mate from school was able to get free tickets for kids through work at carrow road and because all my friends supported norwich (or liverpool, arsenal or man united) i was drawn to them. they were also a bloody good side back then - one of my first ever matches was a win against liverpool and another a win against man utd - and ipswich, well, they were rotten and a mid table 2nd tier team. my mum now amazingly supports both clubs but my dad, although still a fan, has lost interest in football to a degree since roy keane was in charge. he's hardly been this season

Fair play SupersMy two lads both wear their Ipswich tops when they go out and about, their mates all support the "fashionable" clubs! I guess I was really lucky as it was an easy decision to go and support Town back in the early 70s. As for your old man I hope he has begun to renew the faith! We have only lost one in the last 10 with 7 wins and 5 consecutive wins now at home. We have left it too late for the play-offs but if we can finish in the top 8 I would be delighted and I hope he regains interest for next season!

As fans we take an oath that we will support them come what may through the bad and the good. I am not going to question your dad's loyalty as I can understand what you are saying about the feeling of alienation. There have been days when i have hated Ipswich Town but then there are days when I ****ing love them again and all is forgiven! This is the beauty of supporting clubs like ours as you never quite know whats waiting around the corner!
