  1. Trophies as monumentally important to the club as this season’s Europa League?

    Trophies are what it’s all about, for fans and players. Imagine retiring after playing for 20 years, and being pleased with finishing 2nd or 3rd every season.
  2. Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur | Europa League final build-up thread (May 21st)

    Cheers, Yes bizarre I glanced at 21/22 and saw as losses not wins! I'll delete. Still, three defeats from three this year puts them clear favourites for me, that OT game still burns and we've gone downhill since. So, I wouldn't quite say 'complete nonsense'.
  3. 91:Rotterdam Revisited

    Awesome, stuff of dreams!
  4. 91:Rotterdam Revisited

    Rekindled some great memories of a brilliant time to be 16! Like some I went to every home game but not the final, great shout to those who made it to Rotterdam. I remember feeling we’d lost it leaving the Montpellier game at home, but it turned out to be the catalyst for a new dynasty. Although...
  5. Post match vs Olympique Lyonnais

    Had the pleasure of watching this game in Smithfield Hall, while on holiday last week in New York. Absolutely packed full of reds and a wonderful atmosphere throughout, roof came off in the end as you'd imagine. Anyone visiting NYC in future, head over to this place, loved it.
  6. New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released

    That was a great watch, cheers for posting.
  7. New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released

    It's in the press pack, 104k gross, 100k Net. Edit (noted already mentioned above)
  8. New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released

    Although only a small point in the grand scheme of things, I’m glad the actual capacity is 104,000. Gives us 100k+ sell outs, rather than an annoying 99,500!
  9. Diogo Dalot | 2024/25 Performances

    Always liked his attitude, which also drives his adaptability to play different roles for his team, but attitude only gets you so far. Unfortunately, his skill doesn’t match his will and he’s out of his depth at this level. I get frustrated with him because I genuinely want him to be good...
  10. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    Interesting interview with Varane today, who said he was very surprised they kept ETH after the cup final, as his relationship with the players was already broken beyond repair. Madness Ineos kept him on and funded the summer spree.
  11. How important is the Europa League to the club's future?

    Cannot be understated. Financially, the impact of having CL football next season, Amorim finishing this horror year with a trophy - with a little momentum going into the summer and pre-season. It would make a big difference. Plus, Rotterdam '91 remains one of my favourite nights and played a...
  12. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    Apologies for posting in here as well as the ticket thread, but I thought the owners had decreed that any available tickets for the rest of the season, bought officially through the club , were £66? You can currently buy tickets all over OT for Ipswich at ‘normal’ prices…?
  13. All ticket/travel information thread - 2024/25 edition - Ticket Purchasing FAQ in OP. Please read it and be careful purchasing tickets

    I thought any available tickets for the rest of the season, bought officially through the club , were £66? You can currently buy tickets all over OT for Ipswich at ‘normal’ prices…
  14. Striker Poll - Who should we buy ?

    Coffers will be aided massively if reports of PSG’s 75m euro offer to Marseille is true. 50% sell on clause. Obviously hoping for stronger sources to confirm nearer summer window, but would be a serious windfall just when we need it.
  15. Yeah I’ll say it: The Relegation Thread

    Agree with you and @Bwuk , and anyone reading my posts will know how I feel about Maguire (although to be fair he's been one of our better performers of late in a three). But with that in mind, who would we have played at CB yesterday, or next at Everton if things remain the same? Maz and MDL...
