DO think that there should be a charity fund raising game each year between Ipswich and Newcastle, but it would be excellent if PSV, Porto and Barcelona could join in and have a mini tournement.

I think that's a pretty fine idea nthstd! All the proceeds could go to Sir Bobby's cancer fund, and there coudl be a cup for the winner. Maybe along the lines of the Hospital Cup that we and the budgies played for ...?

Would be an excellent idea, Ipswich, Newcastle, Barca, Porto and PSV in a tournement. Not sure if every team could do it every year but even a one off would be class

Being no longer resident in the UK, I did actually write into the club and suggest that maybe the Club could support the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation in such a way and for the Sir Bobby Robson Shield/Cup to be played for everytime ITFC & NUFC (or any or the other clubs WBA, Fulham, Barcelona, Sporting, PSV) met up (with profits going to the Foundation). With the Town playing in the old 1970's 2nd colours of Yellow (not the mutard colour up the road) shirts, blue shorts, yella socks & with the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation as sponsors on the shirt (the shirts being auctioned off after the 2 matches this season)?

But a tournement sounds like a good idea.

By the way it is great that the Club is going to rename the North Stand, however has anyone considered renaming the actual Stadium?

In that way Sir Bobby's name would be more pronounced and remembered around the country/world?

The Sir Bobby Robson Stadium, Portman Road.

Food for thought..By the way just get behind the Boys, at times I get fed up reading some of the posts on here, have been cheering the Lads on through thick & thin since 75.
