ipswich away!!!!

ipswich away!!!!

Re: ipswich away!!!!

180

Should be a few of the southern based supporters there, but unlikely we will be able to get too many making the trip down from Preston

Be nice to be wrong though.
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

I think I'm going with 3 others. I think you'd be surprised. I predict a healthy 300.
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

I went last season, there was about 100 then. It was on a Bank holiday though. It was my second favourite away game of last season, quality 4-0 performance 🙂

I'm not going this season, a Tuesday night trip to Ispwich, pah! I've already done one midweek trip to Norwich, that'll do me!
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

I will be there with 5 others. Ipswich is usually a reasonable trip, although only last year did we manage not to lose 3-0 though 🙂
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

i'm going on my own, not all that bad though as i miss half a day of school. 🙂

How have you managed to get an afternoon off school?

Surely it must count as an unauthorised absence.

Bloody hell, gotta get out of this country quick! I despair I really do!
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

Well done to the football league!!!

How to lower attendences step one. Not only have one midweek trip to the anglia for a lancashire club in one season have two. And when the fixtures are reversed why not have Norwich and Ipswich travelling up on a tuesday night!!!!

Fantastic. I would've liked to have gone to Portman this year as well!!
 
Re: ipswich away!!!!

Harsh reality of the fixture list is that there have to be night games, and that means teams will have to travel in the evening.

We know that attendances fall midweek, so surely it makes sense to have the games which would be poorly attended by away fans anyway played on week nights and leave the local derbies for the weekend.

Perhaps there is some sort of middle ground where we only travel to places like Derby Leicester Coventry and Birmingham midweek, so we get the derbies and the longer trips at weekends.

I would certainly rather have as many PNE fans at Burnley etc and sacrifice maybe 100 from our attendance at Colchester than have it the other way round. And the same applies at Deepdale, while we do not like the away fans dominating the atmosphere, it is still better to have teams that will bring 500+ come on a saturday 🙂

Of course it is fine for me to say all this as I can get away midweek easily, and it makes little difference whether I have to book accommodation in Colchester or Coventry, neither offer a train back after a 19:45 🙂

Healthy 300? What's healthy about 300?

Pathetic.

I was told that this was done so that clubs could reduce costs, ie no need for an overnight stay. However, to us I can't see it making much of a difference as we will stay over Monday, and as usual its just the fans who suffer.
