Author Wants Photos and Reviews for Website - Ipswich Town News

New Ipswich Town book Adventures of a Tractor Boy now has its own dedicated website and author Graeme Brooke wants your photos and reviews.

Adventures of a Tractor Boy, Graeme’s tales from his many years following the Blues, was launched last week and so far has sold well.

"It hit the dizzy heights of sixth of 59,000-plus football books, the top 10 Kindle football books and 181st of 43 million-plus all books on Amazon.co.uk’s best seller lists,” Graeme told TWTD.

"Following on from this to support and publicise the book further, its own dedicated website www.adventuresofatractorboy.co.uk has been launched.

"The idea is to provide updates and media links on the book’s progress but more importantly I am trying to create a cult thing by getting people to submit a photo of the book from places around the globe, home and abroad, and also if any well-known person can be persuaded to have their photo taken with it.

"These should be emailed to adventuresofatractorboy@gmail.com. All details are on the website.

"Whilst thanking everyone for their support to date, could I also request those kind enough to have bought the book to please post a review on either Amazon or the website, however brief as this all helps to spread the word and it is all for a good cause.

"One hundred per cent of the profits from the book will be donated to Colchester Special Care Baby Unit at Colchester Hospital who nursed my youngest daughter Leah when she was born eight weeks premature and who is now thankfully a healthy eight-year-old season ticket holder and Junior Blue.”

To read more about the book, visit the website or Facebook page (likes are most welcome), while you can buy a copy from Amazon here. Alternatively, it is available from Greetings & Gifts, 15c High St, Manningtree CO11 1AG (01206 615262).

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match Abandoned
Town look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
