Blue Action Asking For Donations For Derby Tifo - Ipswich Town News
Town independent supporters group Blue Action have set up a GoFundMe page to raise cash for a tifo to be displayed at the home derby with Norwich City in the new season.
Blue Action was formed at the start of the 2018/19 season with the aim of improving the atmosphere at home games with their tifos, banners, coach greetings, stickers, badges and T-shirts subsequently having become a familiar sight at Portman Road.
At the Liverpool game at the start of last season, their tifo as the players emerged from the tunnel (pictured above) proved controversial with some fans complaining that their view of what they felt was a significant moment had been obscured.
As a result, there were no more at games during 2024/25 but in a statement Blue Action say they will be returning in the new season, at the opening home match and for the visit of the Canaries.
For the latter, they are asking for funds from their fellow supporters. Their GoFundMe page can be found here.

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.
