This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Ipswich Town's only League title, and a title won on their debut season in the top flight. Since then, Town have been ever present in the top two divisions, with just seven of these ending in the bottom half of the second tier. In some respects this has been one long over-achievement, considering the size of the club and the catchment area, but the club have always had a reputation for long term planning – and have prospered most when this long term planning has been allowed to see fruition.
