Chris: Whichever way you look at it, 16 years has been a remarkable run.
It will come to an end at some point but when it does Norwich fans who were around to see it will have Grant Holt’s hat-trick, a 5-1 at Portman Road and a play-off semi-final victory to name but a few.
Those are the sort of memories that will last.
Brenner: It’s crazy that we’re still talking about Jim Magilton being the last Ipswich manager to taste derby success and that Jon Stead is the last Town player to score a winner in one of these matches.
A bit like when the Blues were promoted to the Premier League in May 2024 we’re once again referring to an entire generation of Ipswich fans who’ve never experienced the joy of seeing their team beat the old enemy.
Now that time in the top-flight has been ticked off their wish-list, a long-awaited win over Norwich has become their number one priority.
They’ve had enough of this bizarre hold the Canaries have had over their club for so long.
Ipswich couldn’t beat them when everything was bleak this side of the Waveney and nor could they beat them two seasons ago when the blue half of East Anglia was very much on the up.
This time around there wouldn’t appear to be a great deal between the two sides – neither having started the season as well as they would’ve wished, albeit Ipswich are looking for a third successive home win.
