It's never "Blues", that's Birmingham. If anything it should be "The Blues" for Ipswich.
Tractor Boys is great, though, as others have said. An intended pisstake that we turned around. It's also unique.
Anyone who's bothered by it because they think it's too agricultural or country bumpkinish needs to work on their self esteem. |  |

I thought it was opposition fans? Always see Birmingham mentioned.
I like that it may have started as a bit of a pisstake but has then been embraced, a lot of opposition fans try I use the tractor thing as a dig but it doesn’t bother us whatsoever. |
Does anyone remember the 'I'd rather be a farmer than a thief' comeback that was common then? |  | | |

I remember a match report a few years ago when we played Birmingham City.
Phil called both teams the Blues and it was incredible to read. |  |

But how many of our supporters spend their working week on a tractor ? C'mon, let's hear 'One nil to the insurance clerks' tomorrow... |  |

Debenham was indeed the birth place of the Tractor Boy nickname.
I don't mind it, at least its unique to us. 'Blues' and 'Town' are fine, but very generic. |
