We’ve seen a lot of chat about new players etc. But what would you change about the match day experience at Portman Road?
I’d get someone in to replace Mark Murphy.
Self service drink machines in the concourses.
Show the scores of the top four leagues at half time [Post edited 13 May 21:28]

Mark Murphy has grown on me tbh, I may be alone in that opinion haha.
As well as the things needed for the prem, a request to clean the roofs of the cobbold/pioneer again please. | | | |

That’s fair enough, but you can tell he’s a radio presenter as he loves the sound of his own voice | | | |

Strippers and a bear volcano please.
I miss the old school half time entertainment. There must be loads of local arts groups who could put on a show of some sort. Even the police dogs chasing down 'criminals' was mildly entertaining (maybe they can tweak that idea with a Roman theme and set Brexiteers loose to be hunted down by lions? I digress).
A lot of people are only interested in beer nowadays though. But if there was something worth watching, maybe people wouldn't want to miss the last 5 mins of the first half and spend 15 minutes queuing for warm piss out of a plastic bottle. |  |

You’re not alone in that - he’s alright is Mark Murphy and Ipswich through and through. | | | |

Murphy is ok. Although he did constantly try to stop the players celebrating after the last game. |  | | |

Some digital signs running all along the front of the SAR and SBR stands. And more hand driers in the toilets in West/Pioneer. | | | |

He was only doing what the club asked of him and to be fair he wasn't exactly forceful about it. I thought he struck the right balance. | |

Bring back the Boot-iful game.
Or the Boat-iful game.
Or any half time entertainment. |  |

Self-service drink machines and showing league scores at halftime would improve match days at Portman Road. | | | |

Replace the marquee in the fanzone.
It's very practical in the winter, but is worn and screams of non-league.
I imagine at some point the club will want to put a permanent structure in, but in the meantime it can't cost more than £5-£10k to replace it. | | | |

Sort the signal out in Portman Road.
How in 2024 I can’t access anything at half time on a new iPhone with 5G data is insane |  |

I agree, but I don't think this is just an ITFC issue.
When I'm at Wembley for an England match I can't get a signal - and the stadium is sponsored by EE! | | | |

It would be a start if they allowed the staff to crack open a csn of draught Guiness and pour it into a plastic glass.... apparently that's too time consuming!.... I have asked btw | | | |

Think it was late 90s (or possibly later) that quite large model aircraft were flown over the pitch by their users. Quite liked watch model spitfires etc being flown by the North Stand. But I can be quite dull at times. |  | | |

Dont shoot the messenger!
Likewise, EFL are very much against pitch invasion and the club has to be seen to be doing anything within its power to stop them…
MM does a great job under difficult circumstances. |  |

I'll never understand people leaving early. Might as well not bother coming and save the money and have cheaper beer at home! | | | |

It's not an ITFC issue it's a provider issue and will never be sorted as the issue is you have 30000 extra people trying to access the local phone masts to join the network plus all the usual residents of the area too. It's too much for the infrastructure to handle.
It works on the same principle as your home network. Imagine if every 2 weeks you had your whole extended family come to your house join your network, then all try and start watching streaming content at the same time, even 1 gig connection would struggle with 100 devices all using that kind of data at the same time. Even if your connection was fast enough to handle that, your router would get overwhelmed with all that noise at the same time and would grind to a halt.
The cost of installing the infrastructure to cope with all the extra data being processed for a few hours every couple of weeks would be astronomical and providers would never get any extra return on that investment so why would they bother? The easiest answer is to tell people to live their lives for a couple of hours without depending on their mobile device, which is probably the correct answer anyway. You go to the football to take in the game/atmosphere anyway! [Post edited 14 May 8:30]
