Playing pre season friendlies against cheap, lowly opposition only happens because the club does not want too many "friendly" defeats as it may affect potential ticket sales . That is where this club is these days.
It is good to know there isa going to be a pre-season game at home this year but for crikes sake get some decent opposition for a change. |  | | |  |

No.
Not even in the top 10 for trophies won and success or crowds and the last sixteen years in the Championshp have further damaged us.
We haven’t won a major trophy for 37 years! Even at our peak we failed to win the league (ie 1981).
What we have is pedigree of being a successful club in the 70s and early 80s that punched well above its weight and produced two England managers. [Post edited 20 May 2018 21:59]

Pre-season is only about fitness and a bit of tactical preparedness. Results are utterly irrelevant (luckily, after Charlton...). I don't know who the home oppo is this year, but I don't care if it's Leiston, Felixstowe & Walton, Bury Town or flippin' Barcelona. I'll still be there. | | | |

Interesting thoughts, caller. By the way, how were the legends on display today? |  |

We didn’t do too badly in 2000 and the following season. |  | | |

We are Ipswich Town fans/supporters. If you actually need to ask that question -  |  |

Not much travel and can be competitive. Two seasons ago we were beaten 5-4 by AFC Sudbury and that was some game. |  |

It pains me to say it but while Mr Evans may have ideas of promotion I fear some near to him would be happy with relegation. | | | |

I agree, what's the point of playing against non league opposition. We (and the manager) learn nothing from the result. Surely better Town play League 1/2 and if we lose then so be it and maybe any shortcomings can be addressed before the window closes.
Then it would be good to play top Euro team in final game at home whatever the result, at least it'll give something for the players and fans to enjoy. |  | | |

Bigger than about 70 other clubs including some in the Prem right now. So yes. |  |

I always got the feeling from listening to MM that, preseason friendlies, like cup competitions were not something he embraced but he had to stick with the Irish games. | | | |

Indeed, every manager says this every year but for some reason it seems to get overlooked. |  | | |

Apparently the club did contact Düsseldorf but could not come to agreement over a date. |  | | |

Never been inside there before and it looks well Lego
And can pop into IKEA first for horse balls and brightly coloured kitchen utensils which will never be used |  |

for most clubs unless you're in a profile tournament they're one up from a training game and they give a chance to look at youths, triallists etc. I'd rather go somewhere interesting than watch, say Hearts, in front of 3,000 at PR |  | | |

One season coming 5th then getting relegated isn’t the definition of a big club.
Sorry. | | | |
