It disappoints me greatly that we can only muster 27000 fans to such a memorable occasion as this, and yet that lot up the road get 23/24000 for the likes of Walsall. Something has seriously gone wrong with our marketing of the Club something you could never criticise Mr. Sheepshanks for. David was out there selling the Club and yes we may have been pushing and then in the Premiership but you never saw many Man U/Chelsea shirts - it has gone full circle I'm afraid and where I live the glory boys shirts far outweigh ours and I'm in Suffolk. I have travelled to nearly 80 away grounds and I have to say Newcastle fans are the most passionate and dedicated that I have come accross - football in Newcastle is a religion and Bobby Robson lived and was brought up in this land of passion for football. That is why Newcastlke have had the bulk of the coverage he lived in the region for goodness sake. A few of you saying you have good feelings for Saturday - how many times have you said that - do you really think we will hold Newcastle with our defence - no chance.

The one thing Sir Bobby would have wanted above all else this weekend is for both clubs to be as one - lets be just that in every way except the colour of our scarves, and kit.
Lets give this great man the amazing final send off he richly deserves - this is a one-off to be able to do just that.
A big, big welcome to all Geordies on Saturday, and in the future.
Would be nice for Gazza to be there as well!

ITFC/NUFC - AS ONE.

i am probably the most cynical, black hearted b'stard you will ever meet, but even listening to a few clips of sir bobby's memorial, old taggart and gary lineker talking about him, and i was proper crying, he is/was the grandfather of football. I was only 11 when we went to worldcup 90, and just got my first season ticket that year, so the robson ipswich years had been before my time, my first season was 86/87, the year we lost out in the first playoffs. But when you listen to older fans , god what he did for us, when you're being told at 11 this bloke not only manages england but he won the FA and UEFA cups with ipswich, it's not until i've got older i can really appreciate what he did for us.

Come On ALL Town fans - this game should be a 30,000 sellout.

The Geordies are great fans. It will be a pity if we can't sell out, but I suppose there are valid reasons: tv-match, people have less money now, etc. And of course we're a smaller club; so what? We are arguably England's most successful small-town club historically: something to be proud of. I'm sure there would be no problem with Geordies & ITFC standing together. We should all be singing from the same songsheet. A wonderful chance to cement a special relationship with another great club, and send off Sir Bobby in style. COYB, Up the Toon!

It is on BBCHD!!

Unfortunately I was only a 1 when town one the fa cup, my dad was the lucky one that had the pleasure of seeing a truly great team play managed by a true legend in sir bobby, some of exp and games he saw back then do make feel very jealous
Saturday will be a day when we can celebrate this gentleman for what he did for town and football in general
I have been like a kid in sweet shop all week, really looking forward to this game, its just a shame that the ground can't be this full for every game,
I really do have a feeling that we will get a result on saturday, there should be no need to motivate the players for this one, they should just be able to hear us from the dressing room
The game should be a sell out with town fans not sending more tickets to toon bit us,
Its all very well when we were in prem and sold out all week where are all them now, no where
Apart from watching man city on sky in there big fat armchairs which has a remote holder and a beer in a foam holder to keep cool

Sorry to rant but I get hacked with some town fans for only turning out at big games, look at derby 32 thousand week in week out as an example

I don't like the fact that our yellow neighbours fill the ground, whereas we don't. OK, Norwich is a bit bigger than Ipswich, but not that much. The reason is obvious: our tickets are now nearly twice the price. OK, I admit you get much more than twice the value, but some people simply can't afford the higher prices. I know it's been said before, but surely it's better for everyone concerned to charge lower prices and fill the ground than be the routine victims of corporate psychology.
