Finish Above The Scum Tour, Derby, May 2003
Ipswich went into the final league match away at Derby County
needed a win to guarantee finished above the scum (aka Budgies). When the
fixtures were originally announced, many thought that this would some sort of
promotion decider but sadly it was not to be. However, over 4,100 TractorBoys
and Girls travelled to Derby and saw and 4-1 win which ensured we finished above
the scum for the 8th consecutive season. In a strange quirk of fate, Derby were
being managed on a temporary basis
The day didn't start well when Flag Guardian,
Nik
Taylor (you know, the one who
pulled that really old women in Luxembourg), managed to leave the flag locked in
the pub and we had to leave for Derby before the pub opened.
