Blues co-owner Berke Bakay says all his expectations were blown away during his first visit to the club following April’s takeover.

Bakay (pictured right with chairman Mike O'Leary) and fellow Three Lion Mark Detmer (left) arrived from the States ahead of the 1-1 draw with Sunderland and remained in the UK over Christmas before watching last night’s 1-0 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.

“Until next time Ipswich Town,” he wrote on Twitter. “Had high expectations coming in and not surprisingly, all my expectations were blown away. I am going to miss Portman Road.

“You all made me and my family felt at home during our trip and thank you for the incredible hospitality.”

Orraman added 12:02 - Dec 30 Yes Bazza - crowd in fine voice all night but the Sir Bobby Stand fans were mind blowing during the final 10 - 15 minutes and they can take part of the credit for us keeping hold of the three points. I remember after a Man Utd game around 20 years ago, Sir Alex saying that the Portman Rd atmosphere was frightening and last night was right up there. It's not just the home atmosphere, but also the loyalty of our away support that puts the fans of Ipswich Town firmly in the Premier League. Hopefully the new management can go on to give us the rewards we so long for and richly deserve
