Baggott Set For Bristol Rovers Loan
at 18:05:04

Great for both parties. He's going to get very limited opportunities here and isn't really learning anything. At 21 he needs to be getting as much football as possible. Hopefully he comes back all the better for the experience and can push for first team football next season.

Page: Burns Pulled Hamstring
at 21:13:48

These things happen. Burns wants to represent his country and these games aren't pointless to him.

Hopefully he's not out for too long.

Morsy Linked With Saudi Clubs
at 23:25:43

Depends what the Saudis are offering. A player has to put his family's financial security first. It would be hard to begrudge a 32 year-old one last (big) pay day. Football is a job to them, after all.

Town Launch New Kits
at 09:02:45

Don't like the home shirt...sorry. Underwhelming. Was expecting much better.

Away is nice enough.

At least that's some money saved this season.

Harper Contract Terminated By Mutual Consent
at 15:43:51

@pencilpete - agreed, I was at the Colchester game and that wayward pass across his own area was the moment his Ipswich career came to an end. There was no way back from that.

Good luck to him, wherever he ends up. Some moves just don't work out and he was one of them.

Ashton: We're Going to Have to Look at the Capacity of the Stadium
at 18:44:48

@Europablue - COVID demonstrated how the fan in the stadium isn't actually that important to the finances of football at the top level. The Premier League did just fine despite empty stadia. It's all about the TV money.

Ashton: We're Going to Have to Look at the Capacity of the Stadium
at 17:36:54

The higher up the football pyramid you go, the less important gate receipts become (as a proportion of total revenue). That's why clubs with small stadiums like Bournemouth and Brentford can survive quite happily in the Premier League because TV money is king. The same will apply to us. Even in the Championship we will appear many more times on Sky Sports which can have a negative effect on ticket sales.

Redeveloping the Cobbold Stand is long overdue but I would be careful about increasing the capacity. Like most clubs we have a sizeable contingent of fans that turn out for the good times but weren't there for the boring midweek games under McCarthy.

Fans Urged to Stay Off the Pitch
at 10:55:40

Some proper miseries on here. Fans will be on the pitch and there's little that can be done to stop it. This is a club that's had nothing to shout about for two decades. You think people are going to stay in their seats and politely clap?

Ashton: Away Fans to Remain in Cobbold Stand Next Season But Discussions Ongoing
at 14:49:31

While moving away fans to the North Stand end of the Cobbold would instantly fix the atmosphere problems, the issues that would be created outside the stadium are considerable.

Blue Action to Trial Cobbold Stand Move
at 17:50:31

Some depressing replies, here. The atmosphere inside Portman Road can be quite underwhelming, even with a capacity crowd. The club should do all it can to accommodate Blue Action and push them front-and-centre of the North Stand. It's a change that needs to happen for the good of the match day experience. I hope that, one day, safe standing can provide the solution to getting the people who want to create an atmosphere in the right place.

As good a man as he was a player. I really feel for him and his family but his attitude and outlook towards his diagnosis are inspirational. I wish them all the best.
