Breaking Bad is still the benchmark for me.. but I'd like to offer Homeland into the mix, where BB was a little slow in the first season or two, Homeland was at its best in the beginning.. it couldn't keep that level of intensity after those first two seasons in all honesty, but it was most definitely still worth a watch to its conclusion.
My wife and I loved watching Person of Interest around that time also, pretty trashy.. but good trash if you know what I mean.. Jonathan Nolan went on to do Westworld afterwards, haven't seen it, but it's supposed to be great. |

My views would now probably be against the grain of most Town fans..
But I would say, with hindsight, forget about trying to get to the Championship in one season, clear some of the deadwood, pick and handful of decent, proven players, and introduce more of our youngsters that obviously have talent.. as small a squad as possible, playing the kind of football we're aching to see, regardless of results
The problem with this club is urgency to achieve.. and that, very clearly, is going to take a lot longer than our impatience can take |

How about The Black Lion in Long Melford.. Great circular walks skirting the village, or walk along the railway line to either Sudbury or Lavenham |

I watched the video for the new development in Pawtucket and am insanely jealous.. jealous that local government, business people and locals want to invest so much into a sport in their town.. yeah, it's probably easier if you don't have the history like we do.. but it's still a punt on what, the fourth most popular sport in the US?
If Ipswich don't modernise very soon, we stand ro lose much much more than I think people realise..
We have lost a ton of ground on our biggest rival, I wouldn't be surprised if they move home before us.. Norwich as a place seems to be a lot more forward thinking than Ipswich..
Also, with a country like the US now heavily investing in 2nd tier football, eventually even the Premier League will start to lose a little of it's limelight.
Yes, I've loved going to Portman Rd over the years, we ALL have.. but, we as a team have stood still for far too long now..both on and off the pitch.. and in this fast moving game, that means we've gone backwards |

Just like everyone on this forum, I have some fantastic memories at Portman Rd.. lost my dad not so long ago and we went together many times.. Happy days
But.. I would be happy for us to move to a new purpose built ground (that we'd own?) Decent travel links, food outlets, parking.. I personally feel people on this forum are still stuck in the 70s and 80s and the current ground certainly is.. I know my view is unpopular, but I don't give a toss, it's my view..
Sooner or later Town will move grounds, regardless of anyone's viewpoint.. I say do it now (if this takeover happens) |

How do we get this clown out of 'our' club?
This football club is falling apart, not one of you can tell me how he has improved ITFC, he may have chucked the odd plaster on, but nothing more.
Get used to the current situation and feel of how our club currently is, it'll be no different (probably slightly worse) for a couple of decades.. unless the fans somehow manage to force him out of Town
It is time for action! |

In.. most definitely in.
I've always said I'd settle for 4th from bottom this season, and push on next season.. sometimes the negativity within this club drives me mad |

I tried taking my nephews along to Town a few times, hoping they'd become supporters.. inevitably, once they hit school, their peers are a much bigger influence..
I have a great relationship with them, so I guess we'll probably just go watch the odd game in the future, me as a Town fan, them as football fans, probably supporting Spurs or City I guess and Town as their 2nd side |

Souless??
I've been to a few home games this season, it's hardly a buzz..
I struggle to take my nephews to a game.. they love football, but hardly find it an exciting prospect of sitting at PR.. win or lose
Also, it's necessarily the most scientific of gauges, but are you aware that Ipswich Town has 124k Twitter followers and Norwich has over half a million! For a town of what 200k that is a hell of a lot of people from outside the town.. obviously, a small stint in the PL has helped their cause, one more could really put them on the map [Post edited 21 Feb 2018 11:35]

We're hardly filling the place.. I wonder what percentage of people that go to games actually walk to games.. of course I understand the content concept of walking to games, a couple of pints.. yes, we represent Ipswich, but we also represent the People of Suffolk too, and further afield.. And I'm no wealthy man, but I'd wage a fair few quid that Norwich will be in the PL before Ipswich.. I feel our club is being stiffled at the moment, nobody at the top seems to have any forward thinking in my opinion |

Apologies if this has previously been discussed..
Just wanted to gauge what people were thinking about mid to long term future of our club.
With the ever increasing prospect of a North Ipswich bypass, would this be the ideal time to move out of Portman Rd?
To me this makes so much sense (as much as I have loved the place for 40 years since I was 6 years old)
I feel as a club we're losing ground on Norwich (how important this is to you is in question) and I feel it's only a matter of time before they easily become the powerhouse of EastAnglia.. my bet is although Lowestoft is in Suffolk, I bet a fair few football fans from the town support Norwich (which is fine if that's what you want over Ipswich
We have falling gates (not a new phenomenon, but still a worry)
The way I see it, a new bypass, a railway in the area too, nearer and easier for supporters from Lowestoft/BSE to get to.. easier to police.. space to build a designated sports complex with outlets (food, shopping etc)
For me Portman Rd can be a hassle to get to, parking and traffic jams etc..
Personally, I'd love to see our club brought into the newer age.. better facilities (I find buying a tea/pie/beer at football matches a total embarrassment, even though it's not the priority of the majority), branding, bums on seats..
I'm sure it'll happen one day, but whether that's in my lifetime remains to be seen..
I genuinely believe if this doesn't happen sooner rather than later, we'll miss the boat and our Northern neighbours could well beat us to modernisation and win a whole new army of support..
I know people hate change (genuinely myself too) but with this Northern Bypass looking ever likely, surely relocating our club should at least be discussed..
