Saw some guy on social media post footage of somebody washing Portaloo Road and they were all "Wow look how much our new owners care about us and our stadium i've not seen this before!"

 

... Think that alone says all you need to know

Nice to see they've put in some new executive seating on the roof to replace the tree.

[Midlands Yellow 4,075]

No trees in view.

Don’t forget the iconic font.

Someones tried to turn the penalty box into a bell end at the bottom there haven't they?

Looks like the same artist drew the pitch that did the bits on Edd Weesley's album covers

For those insistent on taking the wee wee it looks to me that that are actually getting on with ground improvements if you look at the photos in the link which is more than can be said for us sadly.

Wait for the onslaught of disloyalty claims.

Just another stick to beat the club with, Tilly! 😉

I just want bigger blokes bogs for the Cathedral Lounge....I have a bladder the size of a space-hopper by the time I manage to gain access to one of the 4 urinals....

I thought the Ipswich fans were a bit two dimensional and that photo at the top of the link you sent proves it.

I think you mean a long overdue catch up of maintenance and cleaning. Putting right stuff after years of neglect may be some wondrous happening for the binners, and friends of the binners, but it is no more than what we have taken in our stride over the years.

You obviously haven't had a wander around the concourses including kiosks and tiolets of the City Stand, Barclay Upper and Regency Stand in recent times i assume ?

To be fair, they did reorganise the concourse in the Regency Upper last summer, making it a lot easier to get served. They're limited by available space, especially in the upper tiers.

We've also got a brand-new sports bar which certainly looked pretty smart when I went to the opening a couple of weeks ago, whereas they've made their pitch about two inches wider and installed some new electronic turnstiles (which we have already).

Not denying that further improvements are necessary at FCR, of course, and not denying that the binners certainly seem to be moving in the right direction (or wrong direction as far as we're concerned!) both on and off the pitch.

When playing from this end of the pitch, you'd certainly prefer to be on the right wing, rather than on the left.

If you hadn't got your pre-season training right, that could bring a whole new meaning to running into a brick wall after 70 minutes.

I am not sure how that is relevant to your defence of stuff going on down the road. But each to their own, I suppose.

I was not defending ' stuff going on down the road ' i was pointing out that this continual ridiculing of the state of Scum HQ is ill founded today. It may well have been a few years ago but not in 2023 when there is much work to be done in and around Carrow Road.

Looking decent …… IMHO

You're an Ipswich fan. Of course you would say that.

Whoever edited the photo really needs to tone down the saturation and contrast settings mind

[Heading South 24]

Still looks the business ……..

Interestingly he's only recently pipped up making videos again after a long absense.. And Heading South turning up out of nowhere.. Think you might be onto something!

According to the recovered EXIF location data from that image, it's definitely not her house. 

Lovely sheets, btw.
