Town chief executive Simon Clegg has written to 88 supporters who attended all four of the Blues’ recent back-to-back away games to thank them for their commitment to the club.

Clegg wrote: “I fully recognise the time and expenses involved in travelling to away matches and I would like to thank you for the ongoing commitment you made to support the club at the matches at Queens Park Rangers, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday and Scunthorpe.

“Seven points from the maximum of 12 available was not a bad return but I think it says something about the ambition of this club that with the benefit of hindsight we were disappointed that we didn’t secure more.”

Meanwhile, former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley was at Portman Road on Tuesday night along with his former assistant Mervyn Day. Curbishley, who is now available for work after settling his contract with the Hammers, is reported to have said that he was at the game to see his friend Dave Jones, the Cardiff manager.

CheshireBluey added 09:23 - Mar 12 I was one of the 88 and it was a nice gesture. However, it would be appreciated much more if this loyalty was recognised when there is a scramble for away match tickets (eg the F A Cup match at Chelsea)instead of giving first choice to those who decide that it would be nice to have a day out and support the team in an away fixture for the one and only time in their lives.

Jay added 13:06 - Mar 12 That is all very well and good of him, but I feel a bit p'd off that these people are considered "real" supporters. Unfortunately, due to a crappy wage packet and the fact I work, I cannot attend away games. It is lovely if you have the time and money to go to all the games - I wish I could, but circumstances dictate otherwise.
