Lambert: Support Unreal - Open Day Gallery and Video - Ipswich Town News

Manager Paul Lambert praised the club’s support following another successful Open Day at Portman Road where TWTD's cameras were present to catch the action.

More than 4,000 fans attended with queues stretching the length of the Cobbold Stand for autographs and selfies with the players and Lambert and his assistant Stuart Taylor.

"It’s unreal the way the support is,” Lambert enthused. "It’s the same as it was last season and probably more now because I think the football club has reached out to supporters, which it should have done a long, long, long time ago and should have had the Community Trust, the club should never let the Community Trust go, shouldn’t have let things happen that have happened.

"But the supporters are the main people at the club. Without them you don’t have a game. You’ve seen today, the younger kids are starting to come back because they’ll be here long after I’m away.

"And it’s to give this football club a bedrock and in my opinion the football club has to get the supporters back in.”
