I cannot comprehend after last night's performance how Bruce has kept his job. He has retained Ashley's backing. I do not know how Lambert has kept his job at Ipswich. Two managers who should be sacked, what is going on do you feel?
I just wanted to contribute after the 3-0 reverse to Hull last night.
I am a Newcastle United fan first and foremost but I was born here and I recently watched the 2000 documentary with tears in my eyes, remembering how elated and delighted the town was when it regained its Premier League status.
I worked at the club for 14 years in the kiosks all around the stadium and met some incredible Ipswich Town fans whose unfaltering support despite some trying times for the club should never go unmentioned.
You proved when you were relegated to League 1 that you are an incredible group of fans and you do not deserve what you have had to endure.
You have had to endure demotion from the Premier League, have had the playoff campaigns where promotion was so close.
I hope one day you will find an owner and a manager like Burley that can take you back to where you belong, in the Premier League.
Lambert, like Bruce at Newcastle needs to fall on his sword and resign and there be a significant managerial change and change in direction.
I hope the 2,000 or 4,000 fans coming back into the stadiums will help Ipswich as I have missed fans in stadiums.
I am going in light of today's discussion today that I am coming off TWTD. I for my own mental health have too and have enjoyed being able to contribute to discussions.
I wish you all the best and I hope we can overcome co-vid 19 together and return to watching our beloved teams. Please send my love and best to your families and to your friends. I bid you all farewell and hope to see Ipswich have a successful season this year and beyond.
My kindest regards and best wishes newcastlefan1984
I am going in light of today's discussion today that I am coming off TWTD. I for my own mental health have too and have enjoyed being able to contribute to discussions.
I however had to stick up for my club and show my love and appreciation for Sir Bobby because he saved my club when it was heading for the abyss in 1999 and the club were falling apart.
I wish you all the best and I hope we can overcome co-vid 19 together and return to watching our beloved teams. Please send my love and best to your families and to your friends. I bid you all farewell and hope to see Ipswich have a successful season this year and beyond.

I just want to say that football means the world to me and living in Ipswich I am lucky to have Ipswich Town as my local team due to them employing me from 2005 to 2019 and giving me 14 of the most happiest years as an employee. I was lucky enough during my shift to watch Ipswich play and take in 20 minutes in the first half and sometimes 10 at the end and I miss football live, I really do. The passion and excitement.
My first love is Newcastle United and I love Newcastle. I know we share some heroes such as Sir Bobby Robson, Jackie Milburn, Kieron Dyer and Titus Bramble and Darren Ambrose.
I just wanted to say that mental health for men and woman during this pandemic is starting to get worse due to isolation and the feeling that you have to keep yourself positive.
It is okay not to be okay and it is okay to reach out when you need a helping hand. This song is helping me at the moment: Carole King, You've Got A Friend
I am always a private message away if you need any well being help.
Hello there, I was wondering if anyone ever had experienced any problems with their neighbours which required police intervention. I suffer from bipolar and I live in Ipswich. I have suffered a lot of verbal abuse since lockdown but reside at home with family and live in housing association accommodation. I just wondered if anyone knew of anybody please or organisations who could act as a voice or support. Be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I would like to wish you all the very best for next season. I hope it ends in promotion for you. I am delighted to hear that you are able to have season ticket holders back in the stadium. I hope it will allow for larger crowds in the near future.
My dissertation that I wrote in 2007 was titled: "Will the gap continue to widen between the Premier and Football League?" with the subtitle: "Do the PL have to do more to ensure the survival of the FL?"
Back in 2007 I spoke to Ipswich's financial director and I interviewed him and he presented him with some questions. They were friendly and I asked how they felt about the future. They said more needed to be done and the parachute payments impacted upon their ability to attract players as clubs who had been relegated had huge transfer budgets to those who had been in the Championship.
With co-vid 19 and it getting worse, do you feel these parachute payments need to be better distributed throughout the leagues these next 3-5 years. It is unfair considering Bury and Bolton had a horrific 2019 and sadly Bury went last year and with Sheffield Wednesday starting a new season with a 12 point deduction next month, that the Premier League start with clubs receiving a hundreds of millions of pounds each.
I used to work in the kiosk from 2005 to 2019 and I remember the: - Old pies in the foil casings- I think cheese and onion, chicken and mushroom, chicken balti and mince and onion - Hot dogs- the newest ones are the best. Love the taste - Pizza pods - soups from sir alf ramsey stand - Portman Pies- the best - Chips - Wedges
I am sadly watching my club Newcastle being ruined by Mike Ashley. His farcical giving away of 10,000 season tickets is an insult to those who have to travel to games from afar and pay ludicrously high rail/coach/air/ferry fares to get to St James Park.
For too long, this man has got away with sticking up garish, countless Sportsdire.com signs, I cannot bring myself to go and write the whole of his company name. The sad thing is I have to go into his shop to buy some essentials, like trainers and rucksacks because he blew JJB Sports out of the water, a company with whom I worked for as a Christmas temp and for 2 years and enjoyed every minute.
I am sick and tired of the way he treats the supporters, and I truly believe the ones that go, the large majority are ones that have been enticed in because of the affordability, they can afford to go to the games, but let me tell you, there's hardly no noise, just watch one of our games on TV. I make more noise sitting at home, and getting agitated, kicking every ball and questioning every VAR decision and I live 280 miles away in Ipswich.
My reason for the post is don't let Ipswich Town become your owner's play thing. I love Ipswich, it is my home town and I am proud of Ipswich Town, and I love going to games when I can to support my local team. You are a proud club with a great history.
Don't let Ashley's example with us at Newcastle be a harrowing template of how football ownership can be.
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you Ipswich fans for 13 and a half years. Due to my health, I had to reluctantly leave the club. I wish you all the very best. I used to work in the kiosks and mostly in the Cobbold Stand but I hope you soon return to the Championship and I have been to games this season with a close friend and have enjoyed your great start.
Long may it continue.
Good luck Ipswich and thanks for 13 and a half happy years. I could not have asked for better fans to work for.
I just would like to wish you the very best of luck for next season.
I was delighted to hear you got your first win of pre-season defeating Colchester 5-0.
We did also by overcoming West Ham 1-0 and Bruce, Clemence and Agnew were there to oversee proceedings and witness their first game in charge.
Although I do not agree with what is going on with my team, and the mess that has been created, we have to get behind the team and cheer them on through 2019/2020. That is what being a fan is all about.
We were here before Ashley took over and will be long after he's gone. We are Newcastle United and support the club through thick, thin and sometimes thinner.
I hope you thrash Sunderland at home. A Norwood hat trick and one from Dozzell and Downes.
I would like to apologise unreservedly for the thread where you were discussing the departure of Rafa and I subsequently clicked on the vote downlink on much of the posts.
I was at the time aggrieved, infuriated and enraged at the incompetence of our board (if you call it that) to let Rafa go.
Now, the idiot blames the takeover talk on his departure.
I do not know what we did to deserve Mike Ashley as an owner I really don't
I wish you the very best for next season and thrash Sunderland for us.
I do not know if I am imagining it but when I was at Year 11 at Chantry and Ipswich were in the 1999/2000 season, they played this song on the radio on BBC Radio Suffolk before their home games or near the end, as promotion seemed a real possibility.
Can anyone concur and say whether this was right or not?
I am very angry and infuriated at the state of Ipswich Town.
1) The way the stadium has been neglected stands out to anybody. Inside the stadium, where the Co-op stand sign is, either the A or R or both is coming off and looks like it is going to fall down 2) The Sir Bobby Robson stand roofs have not been clean for a season or more 3) They still have not painted outside of the stadium. I am sure the club is not that hard up to do that 4) Giving Leeds United preferential treatment and making Ipswich fans move. I went to the Ipswich v Swansea game with my friend yesterday and commented that if the situation was reversed, surely Ipswich would not get that allocation. I am not a big fan of Leeds anyway, as they nearly scuppered our promotion in 2017 when one of their idiot fans ran on the pitch at the end of the Newcastle v Leeds game in April 2017
That brings me on to the football: I have never watched 2 agonising, frustrating, annoying, depressing 90 minutes of football in my life. I went to the Hull match in March and the game yesterday and the team although having half chances and 1 or 2 chances to score, looked bereft of ideas.
I am a Newcastle fan first and foremost but I was born in Ipswich and I consider Ipswich to be my second team as I always look out for their result, even when I am at a Newcastle United game.
It sickens me to see what is happening at Ipswich and you fans are great and don't deserve this mess. To still turn up with 17,000 fans when you are bottom of the league says a hell of a lot.
I hope you will be back in the Championship come August 2020 and then in the Premier League in the future.
I am very sorry to see Ipswich relegated on Saturday.
I started working in the kiosks in 2005 and I have to thank you the fans for making me feel welcome and I thoroughly enjoy working at the club.
You are one of the greatest group of fans I have ever come across and it upset me when the final whistle blew to confirm relegation. A club of your size doesn't deserve this.
I was born in 1984 so do not remember 1978 and 1981 but I remember the play-off win in 2000 and even as a Newcastle fan celebrating in my Mum and Dad's car as the Ipswich goals went in especially Reuser's as I knew you wanted promotion so bad.
You had a great 2000/2001 and finished 5th that season. I remember meeting the Newcastle team at the Belstead Brook as we stayed there twice in April 2001 and November 2001.
I sincerely hope you bounce straight back up and you have gained an extra fan in me this season. I have been to Ipswich games and have cheered the lads on. I hope this time next year you will be back in the Championship and then hopefully one day make the climb back up to the Premier League.
I am very sorry to see Ipswich in this predictament as I work at the club and have fully enjoyed every minute. I am from Ipswich and it is deeply upsetting to see the club in the relegation zone.
It has been great to hear that 23,000 fans turned up to the last home game and it just shows the love of the town.
I just hope whatever happens that the club can rebuild and bounce back. Come on Ipswich!
I was just wondering at Ipswich Town do you think it's time that Marcus Evans should sell Ipswich given that in the time he's been there there has only been one serious attempt at gaining promotion to the premier league.
Marcus Evans reminds me of Mike Ashley at my Club Newcastle he doesn't invest enough and as the loud is switched on to stagnate.
I feel this season has been a consequence of years of underinvestment and hopefully the next manager can keep you up.
