Tempting, but don’t think I’d get my wheelie bin through it |  | |  |

I know some of them came second hand from Bedford Town in the 1950s. They were still in use until relatively recently. |  | |  |

Makes me wonder what happened to the old iconic North stand scoreboard, I think we sold it to Watford. I guess its a bit big to flog as old memorabillia and ended up being broken up and trashed [Post edited 5 Jun 13:19]

I remember the same, think it went for parts as they had the same scoreboard. In 2001, the Greene King concertina tunnel was given to Hampton and Richmond Borough as we'd changed sponsors. |  | |  |

Bedford Town FC was the location of Harold Macmillan's "never had it so good" speech, which was of course also in the 1950s. Either Bedford thought that anything Harold liked had to go, or Ipswich thought that anything that impressed Macmillan was worth having! |  | |  |

MacMillan, who was the brother-in-law of Lady Blanche Cobbold, of course. Has to be why the turnstiles ended up at Portman Road. |  | |  |

Thanks. A big change, RIP The Practice Pitch. Although the astro has been down for years, having that 2nd pitch area out the back was iconic and I think unique. Now the stadium boundary moves to the new building it will feel very different. Impressive upgrade though. |  | |  |

I think it’s staying, just shifting over a bit. |  |

I'm not so sure, that ticket office did seem a bit reminiscent of the old portacabins we had had school back in the day. It looked a bit cheap and nasty, but Marcus Evans'sy for me. |  |

You’d think they’d rip up the current astro as it was an old generation and was very tired. Replace with the very latest 5G (?) and we’ll leave the fanzone with trainers* filled with black rubber sand * boots, sandals, stilettos, crocs, cowboy boots |  |

Apparently 5G pitches don’t have black rubber sand in them… who knew |  |

If we can somehow stay up we are gonna have some ground in a few years time. Looking forward to christening the new fanzone with a pint late August. |  |
