ITFCSweden Launch New Website - Ipswich Town News

ITFCSweden have launched a new website to celebrate becoming one of the club's official supporters' club branches. ITFCSweden already has 80 members from all corners of the country from Malmo in the south to Umea in the north and are hoping to break the 100 mark by the start of the season.

Niklas Nygårds told TWTD what prospective members can expect: "The first AGM will be held in Stockholm at Wirströms Pub, a sports pub that focuses on football. Lots of Swedish UK football supporters go there to watch games and have a beer or two. There'll be members coming in from the south, the north and so on, so we're all really looking forward to it. It'll be held 30th August, so after the meeting we'll watch Watford-Ipswich at the pub.

"Erik Stridell has designed the new website â€" ITFCSweden - and it has a number of new features and will have even more as the season progresses. There's the forum which is basically the same as the old one, there's a feature with a travel and pub guide according to ITFC Sweden, plus a members‘ section, which only the members can reach by providing their unique password and pin code. On the start page will be a blog, where various members will contribute.

”We'll go on a members' trip this season as well, of course. The AGM will select the match/es from three options, Plymouth and Forest at home in Jan/Feb, Norwich in April and last game of the season, Coventry. I wouldn't be surprised if the Norwich match turns out to be the pick of the day.

”The members fee is SEK 100, which is about £8. Every member receives a welcome letter containing a membership card and a member's pin. It also gives the member the chance to participate in the match prediction competition with an attractive prize come the end of the season.”
