Player of the Year Voting Open - Ipswich Town News
Voting for this season’s Player of the Year has opened with the Supporters Club admitting that they held lengthy discussions before deciding to stage the award after such a disappointing and disrupted campaign.
They explained why on their website: "After prolonged debate we have decided to hold our annual Player of the Year poll. Some may ask why.
"We have held a Player of the Year poll every year since the 1972/73 season whether they have been good or bad, barring last year which we cancelled as the season did not finish due to Covid.
"This season, although the team’s performances have not been great, our supporters have been able to watch all games — home and away - if they wished via iFollow.
"This season will finish not with the outcome we all would have wished for or wanted, but we have decided to proceed with a vote.”
You can select your Player of the Year on their website here with voting ending on Tuesday and a presentation subsequently made to the winner.
Skipper Luke Chambers won the award when it was last held in the 2019/20 season.
