Brett M Johnson on 09:33 - Feb 27 with 4460 views | ArnieM | Wow! This man has a vision and is making it happen in a big way in the States isn’t he!! When I’m listening to him , I’m thinking OMG IF he really does buy out Evans , you’re talking the “ potential “ of Town being transformed , because he speaks about “ copy and paste” the build and regeneration project from one city ( place ) to another .... so if he’s looking to bring it to the UK and Lil ole Ipswich Town is the “ overseas project “, my God watch this space !! Hrs not talking about take over if a Club is he, he’d be talking about building a new infrastructure that would regenerate a whole area ( of the town).... a new stadium ? This type of new owner is exactly what Evans said he’d be looking for . Someone who would match what he currently puts into the club and more . Guess it’s a case of wait and see ... and pray ! | |

Not sure what's to like about a new stadium. I like our stadium, it is part of me. I think if we moved I would 100% give it all up. | |

Oh I see, I suppose that is more palatable - although how can we develop the area around it, what area? | |

The scarf and the fact he lived in London for 5 years suggests he might understand football (and not soccer) in the UK. | |

Me too, would hate to have a new stadium!. Have some great memories of PR and in any case, it just needs a bit of love and attention to tidy it up [Post edited 27 Feb 2021 9:55]

I don't think he's the main man in this project, just one of a number of investors, nevertheless will presumably have some influence. | | | |

The practice pitch could go. I always wondered, if we ever got into such a position, whether the council would grant permission for us to develop the stadium over Portman Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way. I suppose doing both would cause a bit of a headache but just the former might be workable. | |

Someone mentioned Col Us stadium the other day as the typical model. I'll bet money if you ask most Col U fans they'd rather still be at Layer Rd. As much as a dump as it was, give me a dump with character over a soulless edge of towner any day. | |

It is a 50/50 things with out of towners really - Living in Town I loved going to PR, when I moved to Diss I can't tell you how often I got to Copdock dreading the last little bit of the ride. We do have a considerable following of out of town supporters - if IBC brokered a match day shuttle agreement with Town, or something like that - I could see the appeal. However, Portman Road and the memories do beat out convenience for me overall. | |

For me Upton Park was the benchmark calamity. | |

I swear I recall Evans having ambitions to build a complex of entertaining and commerce around PR when he first came in - did I dream that? | |

Not heard his name mentioned, sounds like it's a coincidence that he was at Phoenix Rising. | | | |

My understanding is that there is planning permission for a multi storey car park and a hotel on that site so it is ripe for development. If this consortium manages to buy it the possibilities are interesting. | | | |

I think it might have been a council plan but I can't really remember. It was to go under the name of Ipswich Village or something daft. | |
