Ipswich game moved to Sunday and live on TV

[NLG]

Looking at the stats from their weekend game with Wednesday, they appear to be a very aggressive physical team, high foul count and lots of bookings. I hope we can stay clear of injury, I fear a bruising game ahead. Lets hope football can come out on top and that we get a half decent ref for once.

Glad the game is on as it will be yet another ‘cup final’ for ‘plucky little Plymouth’. We are so privileged to be on the same field as these big clubs.

From the Ipswich forum: ‘We are ‘bigger’ than a quarter of the PL clubs by any metric and as big as another 3 or 4’.

Obviously one metric the poster did not consider is that they are in the third division but why let reality get in the way of fantasy.

Glad the game is on.

I don’t personally get the idea of putting names on a list for a national squad and then not putting them in the actual squad when announced. l just assumed wrongly he would be in the squad else why mention his name.

Just creates confusion. But maybe it’s my logic that is wrong.

But their fan base is bigger than a number of teams in the PL, and despite having over two decades of failure the fan base has stuck with them. Not bad for a small county town in a rural backwater.

Also glad it's on. Do we have an enforcer or two this season? (asking for a team mate).....

Nobody doubts they are a big club it's the arrogance that does me in. I hope we get amongst it and 'embarass' them. Little Plimuff are more than capable of turning them over that's for sure

Comparing the transport infrastructure both by road and rail of Ipswich and Plymouth, I would suggest it’s not Ipswich that is an isolated rural backwater.

About the same

About the same

Apart from Ipswich having 2 major trunk roads (A12 and A14) both of which has had considerable sums of money thrown at them. Plus, three alternate routes if any railway line is blocked.

I know where I'd rather live though. Ipswich as a town does not seem to have many redeeming features other than being relatively easy to get out of.

I was actually quite impressed with Ipswich as a place, though I had low expectations and it was a sunny day.

Even more impressed with Portman Road.

Despite a working lifetime that has taken me to many parts of the UK I have never been to Ipswich. Have I missed much?

"It could be worse" is probably a reasonable summary of Ipswich.

Although the west country is a beautiful area, I sometimes feel people are slightly deluded about how nice Plymouth is, its not like its a Bath or Cheltenham, it has some very run down areas and the stuff rebuilt after the bombing in WW2 is very lacking in any architectural merit. I would not rate it over Ipswich, except for its location personally.

It's our proximity to the sea/ocean that makes us far nicer than Bath or Cheltenham.

However, I have to admit both of them architecturally are in a different league. I personally think Bath is up there with Edinburgh.
