General notes
1945-46 was a transitional season for football. The end of the war in Europe and the Far East came too late for many professional players to be demobbed from the services, so the formal League programme was not resumed until 1946-47.The following practice games were held at Portman Road:
Sat 04-08-1945 Blues v Reds - result unknown
Mon 06-08-1945 Blues v Reds (although listed as Blacks v Whites) - result unknown
