Thanks. Feel for your fans somewhat. It’s very Ipswich to offer some hope of a new dawn and then ir go tits up so I was fully us to blow it. Shame one of the three had to miss out but heres hoping you go up in the playoffs as we’ve been by far the best three teams.

I’d personally say for all clubs the figure announced for people at the game should in fact be the number of people at the game. Having a ticket but attending 0 fixtures in a season shouldn’t be a +1 on an attendance figure. For all clubs. I didn’t realise teams do it consistently. Makes a...

Which clubs? Never heard that before

I don’t at all think it’s going to be easy but I’m certain we will be nearer the top than the bottom

I don’t think we will lose any players in all honesty and I’m certain we won’t lose McKenna. I don’t think we can really be compared with yourselves where the Championship will be seen as your ceiling as a club whereas the owners have made no secret since taking over that Premier League is the...

Just thought it worth pointing out, I wasn’t going through your old posts like a stalker. I happened to click the ‘promotion odds’ thread to see the early season thoughts of everyone before the season began and your quotes were on pages 2 and 3. They were of contradiction to what I’d read from...

I think most of us would be happy enough with 8th tbf. Would be another year of progression. Sunderland doing what they’ve done this year gives us hope that we can replicate them. I happen to think Plymouth will be fine as well. Maybe not too half but a comfortable season I’d suggest well...

For what it’s worth I didn’t actually read it as an attack on Ipswich. Just that 10/1 as a price was too high. Similar to as if you’d have said Swansea would drift to 16s. Both teams are bound to drift out a tad (especially if it’s Everton who go down) but not to the extent or 7/2 to 10/1. Even...

I only raised the point because you suggested Accrington Stanley were ‘no marks’ because they don’t have a huge away support. So it seemed worth pointing out that your support at our place was very similar. I personally think neither club are ‘no marks’ but if you’re going to put them in that...

But on one hand you’re saying that budget doesn’t make much difference and the next saying that we should walk the league with our budget? Surely it’s one or the other is it not?

Port Vale only brought around 100 more fans to us than Accrington did.

At the start of the season you realise you were saying that budgets aren’t that important down in the third tier because clubs will never be able to sign championship calibre players in the third tier? I can get you your direct quotes if that would help jog your memory. Here’s two you’ve said...

As someone who works in the industry (albeit admittedly in horses more than football odds), I’d like you to lay me 10s on promotion please. Not a chance. 11/2 is the biggest it’ll be even if Everton drop who would be short priced favs in that market. 10/1 is stupidly large.

Devon Lad. He was adamant Exeter ‘would finish top six minimum but likely automatics’. He was pretty sure this league was going to be a piece of piss and, like the Port Vale fans, that the promoted teams would storm the league (sure he also said 3 of the 4 teams who came up would be top half...

It’s obviously not the same but Ipswich were relegated in 2002 in the same season as beating Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup, having finished 5th the season before (and having just missed out on third by 3 points for the Champions League spot and reaching the Semi-finals of the League Cup). All that...

07/04 - Ipswich WIN v Fleetwood (JOKER)

Cheers bud. In all honesty, the title would be nothing more than a cherry on top of the icing on the cake. Promotion was 99% of the goal. Just to get back to the championship is enough for all of us. As much as we are undoubtedly the best team right now (since those January signings), I’m of...

For most of us Ipswich fans (and presumably for Plymouth and Wednesday fans) it was all about promotion. Getting out of this league was the core and sole objective. I would of course like the title too as I think we’re a fantastic team but Plymouth clearly are as well. I am a strong advocate in...

See you next season lads

20 years a Towen fan waiting for something to cheer. Feels great. I won’t miss league 1, albeit there’s some good people in here who I will be popping back on here and keeping an eye on. As for the game, we were excellent first half. Exeter were actually good in possession I thought but...
