Urban neighbours Celtic and Rangers are known throughout British football as The Old Firm, but for Ipswich Town and Norwich City its more a case of The Old Farm. Separated by 40 miles of arable fields and woodland, the Canaries and the Tractor Boys have been doing battle for more than 100 years, just like their counterparts in Glasgow. Eastern England may be a footballing outpost, but its derby games arouse massive local interest. The first East Anglian derby game was in 1902 and by 2010 there had been 147 hard-fought contests since. This book traces the history of a soccer rivalry that is intense and unique.
