Ipswich Town Ist, the Supporters Trust, handed their 5,000-signature petition calling on the club to opt for Category One Academy status to chief executive Simon Clegg prior to Saturday’s 3-0 home victory over Cardiff City.
Trust chairman Carl Day and committee member Graham Steel met Clegg and Academy sponsorship manager Simon Milton for half an hour in the chief executive’s office to discuss the issues surrounding the Premier League’s Elite Player Performance Plan.
Day outlined to Clegg the Trust's view of the Blues youth set-up: "The Academy is the cornerstone of all things Ipswich Town, has a proven past and in a very short space of time over 5,000 fans have signed up to urge the club to commit to securing a Category One Academy as the best way of securing the future of the club.” A summary of the meeting can be found on the Trust’s website here.What to read next:
