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.”
