Is it a new ground?

Sunday 29 December 2013, AFC Bournemouth 1 Ipswich Town 1, Championship - Goldsands Stadium/Dean Court


A hard won point and we were lucky to hold on to that against a well organised and skilful Bournemouth side.


But the talking point for most Town fans at the game 9well the older ones) was this a new ground to tick off?


I think not, name may have changed, the ground may have turned 180 degrees but to me it is still Dean Court, a friendly place to visit, now there is no open end and decent crowds you also get a good atmosphere - so for me it is just another visit to Dean Court not anew ground called 'Goldsands'.

Donny were not very good and the locals were getting restless but a professional display from Town - onwards and upwards.

Rain and booing!

Saturday 21 December 2013, Ipswich Town 1 Watford 1,Championship - Portman Road



Not long ago I wrote a post with 'One of my own' as the title after local boy, Luke Hyam had put in a great display and the fans sang his name - and now a few months later he is being booed by the same fans - often you wonder if Ipswich fans deserve a good team!

A defeat but plenty of promise

Wednesday 11 December 2013, Ipswich Town Academy 1 Sunderland Academy 1 - Sunderland won 4-2 on penalties, FA Youth Cup Round 3 - Portman Road

We may have lost, but more positives than negatives with a number of the players looking like they could make it. Very impressed with the right back, Hammond and in fact the whole back four looked promising.
