Between The Lines - The Poetry Of Ipswich Town, No.6
Written by The_Flashing_Smile on Thursday, 25th Sep 2025 09:05

It seems last week I was a bit premature with the nautical theme.
In this week’s there’s also a bonus ex-player reference, for those of you older than 25 to spot. There’s even a Greek god reference.

So much packed into such a small poem about so little football!

Blackburn Rovers P:P Ipswich Town, 20/09/2025

Washout

It’s raining, it’s pouring
This football game is boring
Like Fish in a bowl, the ball wouldn’t roll
Thank Poseidon it’s off; we ain’t scoring.

Thoughts On What Has Gone On by nthstd

The full facts of what has unfolded in the last few days at Ipswich Town FC may never be known. In what I regard as the poor and superficial public apology made by Mark Ashton that pivoted on four key factors, he has failed in my view to take true ownership or action on any of them.

Trust by DanLyles

Nigel Farage’s divisive visit to Portman Road and the club’s disingenuous rebuttal that followed, have catalysed a seismic backlash against our chairman and CEO, Mark Ashton.
