big_gaz67 added 12:09 - Mar 10 Cloddy - the play offs will be before these dates see www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/29227/play-off-semi-final-dates-set Sally Webb - your comment "Where possible we will always try to host the county cup finals at Portman Road" is a blatant lie has there have been numerous recent seasons why lame excuses have been given. As the senior club in the county Ipswich should always stage these no matter what..... Phil - as an excellent journalistic web-site can we not challenge these bland comments when they are offered? I am still waiting for somebody who has access to MMc and the club to confirm whether he receives a bonus when we make money on a player (i.e. Tyrone Mings). As fans I think we have the right to know.....
