Brogan55 added 18:57 - Jul 7 It is very important to keep building the Club from the bottom to the top.The future is stronger than it was 2years ago.Our rise from league 1 was brilliant,but it gave us too much to do to in a little time. Sid and his teammates are going to give the Club the foundation to build on and hopefully they will be the ones which will make the Club even greater.

armchaircritic59 added 00:03 - Jul 8 Ipswichtown4life, indeed so, ability before age. It works the other way round too, if you're good enough you're young enough. Lots of people write players off when they get near the mid 30's never mind any older. I think the likes of Lionel Messi might have something to say about that. You adapt your game if necessary.
