Role the Supporters Club play 16:00 - Dec 31 with 1290 views | JackNorthStand | Just read the article mentioning supporters club electing a new board, logo and “ strategy “. Im a lifelong Ipswich supporter and season ticket holder for years but not a member or the supporters club nor do I know anyone who is, or anyone who knows much about it regarding what they do and what being a member looks like. Wondering if anyone on here could enlighten my ignorance, as an outsider with little knowledge on what they do / offer supporters. | | | | |

One thing you will have benefited from, if you've been a season ticket holder for a few years, is the lobbying former chairman Mark Ramsay did regarding the repayments: Their main function has been more social, whether the events with players or helping organise the branches more widely. Will be interesting to see how it develops under the current chair and board. It does seem to be growing in line with Town's success. | | | |

You used to get notified as a season ticket holder of being a member and of events etc, I mean it was a while ago but I remember getting a club badge that said I was a member one season. Presumably data protection rules have meant they can't contact you using the clubs data anymore ? So it becomes one of those word of mouth things. They're in the fanzone pre match aren't they? if people want to find out more | | | |

If they're going to be a bit more active then facilitating car shares for travelling fans would be one good thing they could look at for those who wanted to opt in. | |

That is a good idea and something they might well be interested in looking at. | | | |

I think you may be right on the data protection thing. I seem to recall some discussion of the matter some years ago. Club used to include Supporters Club material in with season ticket applications but I assume most people don't get printed stuff for that these days. Not sure on FanZone, but I'm not in there before games these days. | | | |

Or you can join a branch, some of which are very active. | |

The Supporters Club aren't in the Fanzone, but anyone wanting info or contacts can find out from ITFC's SLO hub (Supporter Liaison), which is next to the bar in the marquee. The SLO Hub also has info on recent & future Foundation activities & programmes. | | | |

Quite agree. Looks a mess. The background image is unnecessary and impractical for reproducing in different formats and sizes… the alignment of the rules and the text looks wrong and the overall typography is hideous… | |

I don't dislike it per se but as you say, it's not a very practical design and being a cynical old sod I'd say it epitomises a (lack of) foresight and vision for what the Supporters' Club could do. Maybe I'll be proved wrong and of course, good luck to the new board. | |
