Ipswich. Good luck to 'em
Their team is a nice blend of experience and talented youth, and there was nothing about their tactics you could complain about.
I concluded that Ipswich is a town with football in its soul, and I'd much rather see them go up than any of the other candidates.

Im hoping Ipswich and Derby get top two of the teams seriously going for promotion this season, really hope Bournemouth dont get rewarded for their reckless business no matter how exciting they might be on the pitch.1

Good turnout, but thought they were very quiet especially considering the attendance.1
-
Charlton were by far the louder supporters last night especially the stick scarfy and his pal were getting had me cracking up at times but overall they were very quiet2
-
always is very quiet at ipswich, on par with us for home noise0

A decent crowd at 26000 !!
The place was bursting at the seams
We wouldn't get 26000 if we gave the tickets away3 -
They were very quiet considering the numbers and their form.
Don't mind them as a club but Big Mick and his brand of anti football gets on my tits at times. I didn't once think last night that they played attractive football but if you can bully your way out of this league then fair play to them.2 -
Touch of sour grapes?
If we were in their position would we care about the style of play or just be happy with an unbeaten run and victories.
Some of our play this season has been dire.

Ok sorry I missed that.
Not sure about the anti-football comment, they play to their strengths and get the results.
What is the right way to play? I find this ticcy taccy stuff a bit boring at times, so much passing and no end result but hoofball (a la Cambridge United days) can be equally as dull.

Would much rather have Bournemouth succeed than the Suffolk inbreds.
Imagine Arter, Francis and Kermit in the top flight.0 -

I would like Bournemouth to go up too, not least because it should give our lot some pause for thought, but you cannot say that Bournemouth as a town has a football soul. When you think about it, Ipswich have punched above their weight for 40+ years as a football town.
I remember in 2000 when they rained on our Champions parade, most of their fans stayed behind to applaud us when we got the trophy.

Bournemouth with Eddie Howe, how about us with Karl Robinson?PragueAddick said:ElfsborgAddick said:

If we don't go up (which clearly we won't) then I would want Norwich, Cardiff, Fulham to go up... Not a fan of any of them but the less 'parachute monied clubs' in The Champ the better it is for us next season. Next would be the likes of Bournemouth and Forest who are throwing money around and will continue to do so until their owners lose interest.
Sad to say it as previously I would have always supported the under dog.0 -
Actually many teams coming down from the PL seem to go down the plughole second season, Wigan being the latest example. I guess it's when the effects of having all those highly paid passengers on your wage bill causes problemsAthletico Charlton said:If we don't go up (which clearly we won't) then I would want Norwich, Cardiff, Fulham to go up...

Sorry Elfsborg...I lol'd that only because I see Robinson as a limited, gobby scouser.
Howe, on the other hand, seems to have something about him.1 -

Portman Road holds 30,000 but that's the fullest I've seen it for many a year.floydroadfaithfull said:A decent crowd at 26000 !!

Last bumper crowd I saw there was when they beat Arsenal 1-0 in the Carling Cup semi-final 4 years ago. Tamas Priskin scored the 78th minute winner in front of a 29,000+ crowd.
Tamas Priskin - now we moan about current CAFC strikers - if he'd been one of ours this forum would have burst at the seams - so frustrating and a player who definitely flattered to deceive. Possibly Roy Keane's worst signing while in charge - in hindsight, of course.0 -
I don't believe that at all. It's all about opinions. I WILL always bow to your knowledge on travel arrangements though!!ElfsborgAddick said:

With the prices train companies try to get away with, your posts are invaluable on those threads. Thanks E.ElfsborgAddick said:

My brother dropped his phone at Portman Road on Tuesday, his missus called up the next day and they got someone to go and search the away end, they found it and have mailed it back to him so another good on ‘em for that, excellent service.10

I know what you mean but the difference is Cardiff and Fulham are bot how ed by multi-billionaires and Norwich have no debt and significant cash in the bank. They will be strong sooner or later.killerandflash said:

I like Ipswich - see them as a club of similar size to us who can compete in the top half of the Championship with occassional forays into the Premier League.
However, I do remember how sore they were after the 97/98 season when they beat us twice in the league but we thoroughly outplayed them over the two legs in the plY-offs
Anyone from within 100 miles of Suffolk who I met for a good three or four years after banged on about how we were lucky to beat them!1
