RIP Jane Summerfield aka TractorGirl 09:57 - Jun 22 with 16652 viewsSitfcB

Former poster TractorGirl, Jane Summerfield, sadly passed away back in February.

I know she had controversial views and was always outspoken on here but I got to know her and met her a few times at football plus seeing her on the bus or at Tesco Copdock a few times, believe she lived somewhere off Belmont Road and she was a thoroughly nice lady.

My mum is a bus driver and she had heard from another driver, Jane was a regular bus user, a while ago that Jane had passed alone at home due to Covid but I hadn’t seen any confirmation as such until just now on her FB page.

RIP Jane x

Blimey that's a name that goes back. I hope she's happily feeding ham sarnies to foxes from the window of her flying car wherever she is right now.

Driven of course, by the man who drove better when he was drunk.

I remember a thread from years ago where we compiled an album of Tractor Girl’s Greatest Hits.

TG is the reason I started posting here after being a reader of the forum for years. I felt that she was always being ‘bullied’ so felt another female could help.

I met Jane at most home games (usually in the toilets before the start!) and always had a chat. She was very caring and generous, loved animals and hated any mistreatment of them.

She started going to watch Ipswich Town from a young age with her father. She had lost both parents and had no siblings. She lived alone with her cats. She was married when she was younger but the marriage hadn’t lasted long.

I am shocked and saddened to see she died alone. I did wonder why I hadn’t seen her on Facebook for a while.

RIP Jane

Really sorry to see this.

Very sad news indeed. She certainly used to liven this place up.

Rest in Peace Jane TG Summerfield.

I shall also be having a ham sandwich today in remembrance and, as a fox has been frequenting the garden recently, I shall leave it out a piece of ham tonight just in case it finds it.

TG was an institution on here for ages; proper staunch Town fan.

I disagreed with her on loads; which is, of course, the whole point of this silly, brilliant forum we all occasionally inhabit.

RIP TG; this is sad news.

Sitters- please pass my best wishes and thoughts onto her family.

She was the definition of a board legend and seemed to take an awful lot of stick when she simply had her beliefs and was willing to stick up for herself.

Very sad to hear of her passing and thanks for letting us know. RIP TG, it's a shame you left and never felt able to come back.

Sorry but I may have reported that as abuse. My iPad is doing weird things today.

Anyone know how I can cancel it ?

I shouldn't worry - I'm sure Phillip will realise, and if I get a ban I will know who's to blame!

Nice to see you posting. Trust you and folks are well.

If you get a ban, just think of it as fully justified for something you’ve not done yet.

I knew her very well in the early years of the Trust. We didn't agree about much, but we always enjoyed our debates, and each showed respect for the other. An absolutely lovely lady.

In more recent years, our paths didn't cross so often, but she always found time for a friendly chat. One of life's good people, with time for others and a wonderful independence of spirit.

That is sad news to hear indeed. She is etched in TWTD folklore with some legendary posts that are always well remembered.

Whatever anyone's opinions or history with her are, it's always sad to hear of the passing of a fellow Town fan, and the circumstances here are very sad indeed.

She kind of got me into writing the Warky Reports. Met her at PR once back in 2005, we'd just beaten someone and I was going down the pub after the game.

It surprised me when she said she was on TWTD as most people you meet in real life don't admit it or just say they've 'had a look'. She was nothing like you'd imagine her from here. I always had an image of 'Crazy Cat Lady' from the Simpsons for some reason. How wrong I was.

RIP Jane.
