ITFC Sweden Celebrating 10th Anniversary - Ipswich Town News
ITFC Sweden is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its formation around this weekend’s home game against Aston Villa.
On Friday night the Swedish Blues are holding an anniversary dinner at Portman Road along with a stadium tour and a quiz, with an ex-player set to attend.
They’ll then take in Saturday's game as well as appearing on BBC Radio Suffolk’s Life’s a Pitch in the FanZone.
Then on Sunday they’re off to Bury St Edmunds for a brewery tour, some shopping and to spend some time checking out the pubs.
"Many of us have been ITFC supporters since the late 70s, early 80s but we officially formed ITFC Sweden on 27th March 2008, hence the slogans ‘mid-table obscurity since 2008’ and ‘A decade of hardship, a lifetime of worship’,” chairman Niklas Nygåds told TWTD.
"We are around 200 members and have been so for the past few years. However, the latest membership number to be handed out is 423! So there are many Swedish ITFC fans lurking.”

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown 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.
