at 20:06:02

Maybe they want to get the tickets allocated via the fans donation scheme first so they don't lose out

Evans: We Will Accept and Deal With Salary Cap
at 23:03:43

This is an absolute disaster for Ipswich Town as it is the exact opposite for clubs in the premier league where the free market applies. Generating extra revenue gives you no advantage now in league 1&2. We will be unable to attract quality players because of the low wages. Good players are more likely to leave because of the poor wages. Its in effect Football socialism. That would be fine if a salary cap was introduced in the Championship and premier league. The owners of clubs with scant resources of course will welcome this. The only good thing about this is that it will encourage clubs to develop their own talent. This comes on top of the Premier league trying to cartel the system to attract and retain investors. They proposed Premier league 1 and Premier league 2 with no relegation from it a few years back. Because it was so unpopular and basically killed the dream for teams lower down the league they embarked on a system of higher parachute payments to give those investors a better chance of getting their teams back into the premier league. We suffered greatly from this policy when we were in the Championship. Added to this we missed out on catefgory one Academy status by a fraction of a point despite producing a number of players for England in the younger age groups. In other words if you are not in the premier league forget Cat 1 .Then the rules change to allow Premier league clubs to lift your best academy players at ever younger ages. The system is rigged massively in favour of the premier league. You cant blame the chairmen of these clubs lower down the food chain for wanting to reduce their wage bill because the system dosen't allow for any other option. For us we are again on the wrong side of the tracks as when we were relegated from the premier league when parachute payments didn't give you an adequate cushion. Now we are diadvantaged disproportionately yet again.* Frustrated of Wickham Market .

Town Launch New Community Trust
at 23:58:27

A very positive move by the club. This is an area the club has neglected for too long. One of the biggest mistakes Marcus made early on in his tenure was looking at the outlay of the community aspect of the club but not the return. Thankfully Paul Lambert has been able to persuade him of its central importance. Ipswich Town should have a community coach and after school clubs in every school in Suffolk, North Essex and South Norfolk. Participants should receive a two free tickets. You get families in the ground, they enjoy the atmosphere and then they fall in love with the club. We should be a quid for a kid club. Fans for life that's what we want but you have to engage with people and offer incentives.

ITFC Women Start Season on Sunday With Boss Aiming to Win League
at 19:36:49

Very pleased to see the ladies getting a higher profile and we wish them all good fortune for the new season. Out of interest does anybody know how the pyramid works in the ladies game. I can see its regionalised at this level and i presume some kind of playoff between the regions but what do they get promoted to?
