Really impressive. could be playing the likes of Notts County / Wrexham / Barnet this time next year (Admittedly that doesn’t sound quite so good as intended, but you catch my drift) Edited January 4, 2020 by GenerationA47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This season's ST will be my last. It's just so dull and depressing following this club. I've actually fallen out of love with football anyway with how the game has changed, money, VAR Prem etc, I watch very little on TV anymore, cancelled SKY and the only love for football i had left was for Town, but this has slowly ebbed away in the last few years and I think there are more enjoyable things to do in life on match days now. Classic. Who thinks that this poster was jumping around when Lambo beat Accrington Wednesday . or Yeovil Athletic , to go top of the third division last September? I thought Lambo had given them their club back? He wrote letters , picked a fight with our GK coach and laid on the sandwiches for the away trip to Cleethorpes! ITFC have the greatest fans in the world! Lambo said so . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chumino 57 Posted January 4, 2020 I'm done with the club now in its current state. Devoid of any enjoyment. Rather watch amateur football, it's honestly not that different in standard and is top value. Love it. They actually seem to aware of the reality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,121 Posted January 4, 2020 I started smiling as I read it, but actually it’s profoundly depressing. If you suspend the automatic dislike for the club, the picture presented is of a once-loved and once-important community asset allowed to wither and die, as the supporters’ feelings for the club do the same. Makes you even more glad about the way our club is run eh? 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I started watching football back in the 1970's Ipswich were actually a byword for how to do things right (much though it pained me to admit it). They had a great team on the pitch, a manager in Sir Bobby Robson who was a winner and at the same time a gentleman and owners in the Cobbold family who cared deeply about their club. (It was said at the time that the only thing the Cobbold's thought constituted a crisis was running out of white wine in the boardroom). Over the years they have declined from that lofty point to their present position. A shabby and incompetently run club who spent beyond their means and as a result ended up fleecing local businesses and welching on a debt to the St John's Ambulance for god's sake. On the pitch their team is useless and they have a foul mouthed confrontational manager and an owner who refused to reveal his face for the best part of a decade who made a lot of his money out of ticket touting. I actually feel sorry for their fans. And yes, it makes me very glad about the way our club is run these days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I ever won a few hundred million Dollars in the Lottery, I'd think that I'd buy them out. Become a respected supporter of their local community. A "savior" from Norfolk to match Norwich's Delia. Then I'd shut it all down, possibly build some low income houses or a park there and open a museum to the Ipswich glory days. Sell off the seats as souvenirs. Yeah I'd probably do that. Just saying... Maybe I'd buy out Colchester too and Lambert could manage both of them. Edited January 6, 2020 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
