Artist's Description
Ipswich Town FC, “The Tractor Boys,” began playing at the Portman Road cricket ground
in 1884, sharing the ground with the East Suffolk Cricket Club. The Tractor Boys were an
amateur team but hosted some top professional clubs of the 19th & early 20th centuries.

Football League in 1938 by which time there were stands on two sides and terracing at
