A 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers today.
I was not at the game but heard Radio Suffolk summary.
It is a little difficult to comment from that alone but a draw against a side just relegated from the Premiership last season is not too bad a start to the season.
I wonder how many games I will go to this season?
Anyway I hope to blog about my support for ITFC here throughout this new 2012/13 season.
C’mon you blues!

ITFC history:
1978 Charity Shield lost 5-0 to Nottingham Forest (after winning FA Cup by beating Arsenal 1-0 that season). I couldn’t get to the FA CupFinal but managed to get to the Charity Shield game at Wembley (with good friend Colin)…:-(…..
