Banners Close to Production - Ipswich Town News

Work has been continuing on the banners TWTD Message Boarders have been designing with the cash raised enough for two to go into production but with further donations welcome.

In discussions on the forum, posters favoured designs featuring players of the past covering various eras — the individuals pictured those preferred by the largest number of posters — and the club’s most successful managers.

The design displaying the FA and UEFA Cups and League Championship trophy which won the recent vote was ruled out as it emerged that a very similar banner has already been produced by another fan.

Board regular DanTheMan has put together a few slightly differing alternatives for each idea to be put to the vote.

The two banners — which depending on the cash raised will be 14ft x 8ft or larger - will cost in the region of £500 with the funds crowd sourced and all donations gratefully received. For more details and to make a donation, click here. The total has now reached the initial target of £500 but donations are still wanted as the more cash raised, the bigger the banners or potentially a third banner will be produced.

Textbackup, who instigated the banner plan, told TWTD how the idea came about: "It was purely to show that we're proud of our history and want to see the good times return in the near future.

"The ideas for the banners came from lots of people on the Message Board with DanTheMan knocking them into shape.”

The club has already agreed that the banners can be hung in the Sir Alf Ramsey Stand.
