Matchday Pricing
Might sound mad but lower it, especially for the under 20’s We need to fill the ground up with the next generation of supporters. A couple of promotions and a cup run can do wonders to convert the young into the hardcore and these people will be the lifeblood of the club for decades to come. Under 14’s for a quid might be a good way to go, it worked well for Norwich.
Season Tickets
As above, get more people in the ground. More people in will typically mean a better atmosphere. Offer prices freezes on promotion and a sign up a mate discount scheme.
Merchandise
We need to up our merchandise game. I think the club should again aim to promote value, encourage youngsters to buy our shirts and be family friendly when pricing. I’d go back to the 1 shirt — 2 seasons rule and alternate between home and away and the odd third shirt as a special release as and when needed. We should increase our range of DVD’s and books of historical content covering past seasons, club legends looking at retrospectives with interviews and so on with club legends who experienced it. This would feed into the clubs social media and we could potentially offer a streaming service for fans who mostly would want to consume content that way these days.
Ipswich Town FC Convention
At the start of the Season a convention could be held throughout the day based in and around the fan zone to help launch the campaign, signing sessions with club legends, different events, classic program sellers, shirt sellers and the like available to sell at their stalls, a couple of speakers and so on to give it a big start of season feel and put everyone in the right mood for the game.
Any other ideas?

Clean the god damn stadium.

Like you say, show some pride in the place.
Get back into the community properly, involve local schools.
Conjure up support and try to reignite some public spirit for the club. | |

Perhaps an ITFC museum linked to Planet Blue, linking back to past exploits. Keep the current/future generation in touch with how great our club was (is). Have this open into a stadium gallery for photo opportunities. Cater for tourism and increase commercial footfall, by linking these two.
I think they should look to keep iFollow going too, especially for away games. A successful ITFC will still fill the ground(s), and iFollow is another revenue stream (£50k last night). |  | | |

Get the club academy to the higher category asap. Makes both long term economic and footballing sense. |  |

iFollow has been a thing for us overseas types for years now so I fully expect that to continue. I'd be surprised if they allowed it to exist in it's current form post pandemic for subscribers in the UK though (certainly without whacking up the price significantly). | |

We have a wealth of history that should be preserved for the new generations. We aren't using that history to our advantage currently and we definitely should. |  |

A musuem is a great idea, plenty of stuff from our past they could fill it with and loads of room where the pointless practice pitch is.
The stadium in general needs a lot of work, but may be a bit out of budget for now. |  |

At 1 p.m. for home matches on a Saturday have the U18s or U16s match on the practice pitch behind the Britannia Stand, gets supporters into the ground early, gives people more of an opportunity to see up and coming players and will probably increase catering sales too. I think we used to do something like this. |  |

I almost laughed out loud (apologies)
"increase our range of DVDs" lol!
Knowing ITFC we've still got VHS of the 00/01 season on the shelves in Planet Blue lol!
I think we can do a lot better, I actually think SenatorBlue's museum idea isn't too bad, you could make it like Universal Studios/Disney in that you go through it as a queue or perhaps exiting the club shop, perhaps. The sights and sounds of yesteryear, loops of Gunn's miss-kick on the big screen and other memorable moments. |  | | |

Bring back some entertainment at half time , local schools playing a game or local singers / groups .
And would be nice to see the successful Ladies team playing at PR |  | | |

Aside from on field matters, Everything about the club needs improving. Giving the stadium a good clean and a lick of paint wouldn’t go amiss as a start. It really needs a proper upgrade. 20 years of complete neglect = mould, stinking toilets, dodgy overpriced food and an environment that says decay. Not appealing.
Image: I’d be inclined to change the club badge back to the 70s/80s yellow surround version to try and distance ourselves from joke years of rubbish. What happened with banning our glorious TWTD leader was wrong and stupid. PLs press conference attendance and attitude: awful. Before it, MMs rant at supporters was also unacceptable. The behaviour of people like Taylor, Bullard and Chopra: awful. If it was my club I’d make it clear what was acceptable and what was not. It’s then up to the manager and staff. There’s the line. Step over it and the consequences are clear. I’d pay people properly and accept nothing but the right professional behaviour back.
Get out there into the schools and community as much and creatively as possible and try and pinch back a little of what Norwich have taken.
If these Americans are for real, introduce their principle of you pay your dollar, you get your dollars worth instead of you pay your dollar and it helps the Portfolio.
No fans on the Board milarky for me. Not their job. But some form of liaison and links so that the people running the club understand the supporters and to an extent visa versa. In the old days I only contacted the club twice about certain things. The first, John Kerr wrote back - not helpfully but at least he communicated promptly. Second time with Sheepshanks I was invited into the club and all went well.
I’m ranting - apols. Basically, there’s nothing that doesn’t need looking at. [Post edited 3 Mar 2021 16:55]
