My daughter and I had a particularly unpleasant experience in the concourse in SAR Upper stand on Saturday after the match.
Are entitled fans now picking on ones perceived to be unentitled now.?
Has anyone else this season been told they have no right to be at the match taking up a seat for more deserving Ipswich fans.
To the Town "fans" from Hull and then Manchester who felt they had some sort of right to verbally attack my daughter on hearing her accent, thanks for ruining our weekend. |  | | |  |

I couldn't believe he had to deal with that. It was so rude and unnecessary. I hope he doesn't get insulted like that again. I would probably not have been as measured as he was, given the circumstances. |
The whole incident saddened me. The initial "Where were you when.." is a wholly unnecessary line to take with any supporter, to then compound that with the rest of her tirade was gobsmacking. I should have turned away and not engaged as any public slanging between supporters is an awful thing to see. I shook her hand and apologised after the final whistle. Should I have done; absolutely. Was I at fault? I dont think so, but my reaction wasn't the best.
ps My Top Trumps disability rating is increasing so I shall soon be worthy of my place.. |  | | |

I understand both sides of the argument and I appreciate you responding.
Her primary club is Sunderland. She was born in the North East of England. All her footballing life she has supported both clubs because of me. We actually don't enjoy it when the two clubs meet.
From an ITFC perspective (and for my side of the family) I still wished I lived in Suffolk but that's not the trajectory my life has taken. I appreciate following two clubs maybe difficult for some to understand. Having done so together for 20 years though should we now owing to Ipswich's limited capacity simply declare ourselves unworthy of attending?
We attained our tickets via the membership scheme. The same system available to everyone else. |
It's sad that you feel you even need to justify it. I like that we're an inclusive club. And a family club. If a father wants to take his (non "true' supporting) daughter to one of our matches, I fully support that. Otherwise we get into a willy waving contest over who's been supporting longest and about 3/4 of the ground wouldn't stand a chance of getting a ticket.
I hate the entitlement some people have. It's an open policy around how tickets are distributed. As long as they're obtained rightfully, it's nobody else's business. |  |

Thanks for the response.
The dust has settled a bit now.
Both my daughter and I appreciate the positivity in the thread and accept that we were probably simply unlucky. The last minute equaliser won't have helped the mood (here I am excusing it again!!).
We look forward to another trip down to FPR in the new year if I should get lucky in the member ticketing scramble again.

Seriously? Somebody from (or who lives in) Hull bullied your daughter who is from (lives in) Peterlee? |
