It's just the idea of sending a message to PW through not going that I don't agree with. It isn't going to make a blind bit of difference.


Your right it probably won't but if the sheep don't go baa then one day it might click in his mind. I mean 20 years ago he spouted his first peice of bullshit. He said next season we would be premier league. We are so far away from that he has no out.

People holding this against him are ridiculous. All chairmen/women say stupidly positive things to build the hype, Pete is no different. All these 5 year, 10 years plans are reliant on consistent on the pitch success, which for the most part is a lottery.


So why do the clubs that I mentioned above who have had it a lot worse than us in the past decade have now overtook us and look a lot better prospect that we ever have or probably will do. Luton and Ipswich can do it on a smaller budget than those around them. Coventry had to play in two different towns in the past 10 to 15 years and still are miles ahead of us and now have an owner that cares who is a fan and is debt free and they don't own their ground. Why are people happy that we have spent 20 years standing still or even worse moonwalking backwards. He only said what he said to sell the frenzy. I mean realistically he said it cause he thought he could get us to the prem by spending fuck all and then sell the club and retire into the distance. Now we are not a prospect I mean if you were local or even if you wern't you would think about buying Luton before us hell I would probably buy Northampton over us at the moment. I mean as people have said we are not a draw. 20 years later we still don't have a decent training ground ffs. It's just sad people have put up with it for as long as they have.

Any credibility this had was lost when you said Ipswich have a small budget. They have a massive one :lol:


Compared to Leeds and Leicester? They had an estimated wage bill this season of £11mill. Compared to £60mill for Leicester and £39mill for Leeds. It took them 4 years of staying in league 1. Marcus Evans name was mud when they went down to a point he sold the club in 2021. But you knew all of this didn't you.

Compared to the recently relegated Premier League teams? Of course not. But their new owners are minted mate and have just sold a 9 figure stake in the club too...


Their owners are. Not the club. If the owner decided to keep his money and not invest in Ipswich what can Ipswich fans do to change that? I mean the Glaziers are not short on money, but it was well documented that they were taking the profit of the club to pay themselves and not investing it back into the club. They were also taking huge bank loans that is now costing them. Now look at where they are. A crumbling mess of a stadium that they want to leave rather than rebuild shambles on the pitch to a point that they are struggling to get Conference League football. Newcastle owners are the richest in the world, but still doesn't mean Newcastle can go buy Haaland Mbappe and Kane on a whim. I know not all clubs are like that but just cause they can doesn't mean they will. Dai Yong is worth just under a billion. I don't think Reading fans give two shits about how much money they are worth if they are not investing into the club that's up to the owners doesn't mean the fans have to like it and put up with it, but we do and it makes you wonder why.

This 100000000000%

What are you doing at half twelve this saturday mate? Because that's the most important game in our house this weekend. You above all people should know what an utter shit show this club has become recently.


I’ll be watching the old Firm and probably getting battered by that lot.
But I’ll still be at the Stadium as always on Saturday night.

Russybcool, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve? If you have had it with Pete, the club, the other fans etc that's fine you are entitled to your opinion and to express it but what are you trying to achieve? Is it your aim to convince everyone else not to support the club? Are you desperate to open the eyes of fans to failings you think they can't see, because I doubt anyone can't see them they just support in spite of them for their own reasons.

£100m since taking over, most of that time being spent in League One, tells me that they're investing heavily. Ipswich are loaded and are riding a high but this promotion isn't wildly unexpected when most places I saw in the summer had them in the Play Offs or there abouts.

I was considering not going…..but figured I haven’t suffered enough yet, so I’ll be there if only for the CazBar.

I’m going, we’ve given it a go this season and come up short, I’m at peace with the fact we will still be in league 2, we can go out Saturday play with the handbrake off and sign off with a losing win

I didn't. I just said for people to ignore you if you are annoying them. I don't give a flying fuck either way on who you are and what you do.

If you don't go, you risk missing out on the greatest comeback in the clubs history.

I know we're going to lose 2-1 but still, at least we'll see some goals.

I'm going because I'm a Dons Fan and I support the club through good and bad times.

Have done since the very first game in MK and will continue to do so whatever the result on Saturday.
