Being an Ipswich fan is like being held stranded on an island for 20yrs with no idea what has gone on but expecting everything to be as it was before being rescued. My mate has now been given the nickname of Wilson after the cast away film 😂 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We sell this City as a lovely tourist destination yet it looks more and more like most other dumps in the UK. The council don't want to know, the police don't want to know and the owners of the buildings cant be bothered to clean it up. Horrible to watch a place I once had a real passion for fall apart.

Pretty much UK-wide... town centres, public spaces, roadsides, central reservations sides of major roads etc, etc... It may be largely (?) 'cost cutting' but it effects towns, cities and communities. Looks **** and hardly boosts 'civic pride'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
