Hi all,
Would you complete our 90 second survey? The aim is to find out where supporters of your club live. When we get some responses, I will publish the stats here - it will show the towns/cities and countries where people live.
Here's the link to the survey: https://bit.ly/football-fan-survey
If the link doesn't work, please copy and paste the link into the browser tab.
It's about putting your club on the map, showing its support around the country and beyond. I'm an exile so I've got a personal interest in this.
Feel free to send the link to any football supporter you know.
The site moderator @GavTWTD gave me the OK to create this thread. I provided him with my phone number, email address and website details in case there are any concerns about spam, bots etc.
Thanks! |  | | |  |

This is a good question! |
Maybe Phil could take this up for the next TWTD survey. |  | | |

🙄 For the benefit of the doubt, here are the questions on my survey:
What is your favourite football team?
Which country do you live in?
Which city or town do you live in?
Which county or region - optional
Nickname - Add any name you want.
Tick YES if you would like us to send you a link to the survey results when the data is published.
Email address - Optional - only include if you ticked YES to receiving the survey results link. |
Can we have "What's your favourite cheese?" too please? |  |

That's a very fair point. Indeed, I think many of the Norwegian branch date back to those days.
And back in 1981, at the height of our European glory, I remember seeing a young Italian kid in the backstreets of Rome with an Ipswich shirt. |
Indeed. I have a young Norwegian based colleague who follows ITFC based purely on the fact that his father started following us in the 70s and 80s because of our European exploits. | | | |

Anecdotally, I know that Ipswich does have quite a number of fans with no birth, residence or family connection with town or region. Not through Sky Sports, but going back much further, to the era when we were often around the top end of the old First Division, challenging for and winning trophies. People who took an interest then - as simply a top team playing well - have often retained that support, or at least a fondness, for the club. |
Yep. I fall into this category, very much so. |  |

" Zoooo..... Cheltenham Blue..... where do you live?"
"Don't tell him Pike" |  | | |

Exactly this for me. Old enough to remember the Robson team and supported them because they were a smaller club against bigger teams. Only watched football on TV when I was young so didn't care where Ipswich was (Dad wasn't a football fan).
I had a long distance season ticket for years until I moved to Suffolk in my mid 20s.
Born and bred in Cheshire East but I'd complete the survey
Support: Ipswich
Live in: Ipswich
Probably not a useful response. |  | | |

I've thought of an interesting question.
If you had the choice of where to live and all of your immediate, and maybe not so immediate, Ipswich Town supporting friends and family were given very generous relocation packages and the guarantee of a perfect fit job, free healthcare and excellent schooling, what would be your ideal place for Portman Road to be moved to ? |  |

I think a lot of people had an affinity for Ipswich Town in the late 1970s. | | | |

I've often thought that the ground could be a few yards nearer to the town centre. |  |

What's the overarching aim of the survey please? |
to obtain a list of emails of people interested in football & Ipswich Town. |  |

Why ? The TWTD question is just to see how geographically dispersed the people who fill in the survey are, we don't need people's life stories about it. | | | |

Absolutely untrue - there is no mandatory requirement for an email address to take part in the survey. The purpose is to research where football supporters are living with respect to the location of the club they support. This is part of a wider interest in exiled supporters.
Furthermore, I've given my personal data to the mods as a gesture of good faith, this includes my phone number, email address and website address (which is a CV site, where anyone can read my references). [Post edited 17 Jul 2024 14:18]
