Blue Action Postpone Protest - Ipswich Town News

Independent supporters group Blue Action has postponed its plan to hold an organised protest at the Swindon Town fixture on Saturday due to the current situation with the coronavirus in Ipswich and Suffolk.

Blue Action announced in mid-December that they were in discussions with the police regarding a demonstration at the Swindon match.

A statement made at the time outlined the reasons behind the protest: "As supporters, we all have differing opinions on the reasons why we are where we are, but we can all agree we deserve much better.

"This demonstration is the perfect opportunity for anyone and everyone that is dissatisfied with the ownership, management and continued decline of our one-proud football club to have their voices properly heard.”

Blue Action was formed at the start of the 2018/19 season in order to try to improve the atmosphere at home games via banners, stickers and the introduction of new songs, and more recently have produced a fanzine.

Early on in manager Paul Lambert’s tenure they were invited to the training ground to talk about the atmosphere at Portman Road as the incoming boss sought to improve relations between the club and its fans.

But latterly, with the Blues again drifting towards mid-table in League One, they have spoken out about the club’s situation and called for the departure of Lambert on a banner hung on the gates at Playford Road.

They subsequently draped another banner on the perimeter fence at Portman Road reading "Tick-tock Marcus, the future of the club is at stake”.
