What a strange little club they are. Always banging on about how big their support is. They actually believe they are a big club, it's bazaar behaviour. The fact is they were playing one of the bigger and more attractive clubs in their league so the home attendance should've reflected this. Ipswich did their part in selling out their allocation for a Tuesday night which is no mean feat. A paltry 7,200 window lickers bothered to turn up which really shows their level. Tinpot.

It will be interesting to see how our gate compares tonight, although Saturday was popular due to the ticket pricing, it seems quite a few have purchased tickets for this game amongst others to give themselves priority for the cup tickets. Wigan don't have a huge following, so any gate figure we get will be a truer reflection of the home support. I think there will be over 21000 tonight, so roughly 3 times their home support last night.

No. They claimed there were 8,542 Gasheads there, ignoring the large Ipswich contingent.

Though they tell us the fans of every other club love them so perhaps that's fair enough.

The one I was quoting states 7,252 including non present season ticket hders which is exactly what all clubs do!

There were Gasheads on Facebook who had the nerve to take the piss out of our 15,700 att. against West Brom. They do like to talk about their ‘massive’ ‘loyal’ fanbase which seem to disappear for run of the mill League games and away matches that don’t involve visiting big ex Prem clubs stadiums. Strange that?

This is from 2019 but I wonder how many visiting Ipswich fans got cornered in Horfield pubs last night by desperate Sags spouting their deluded bullshit?

"They were surprised when I told them that Rovers have taken 40000 to Wembley" 

Surprised? Or called it bullshit? 

Also, how needy are you that you have to ask if people like you more than someone else? It's like something out of the school playground.

Don't we, and all other clubs do the exact same thing?

I didn’t word that very well.  I meant that when we laugh at such a low attendance figure we don’t actually know how many were actual attendees. 
 

I would guess less than 7,000 sags is more likely to be the actual figure.

Probably about 7,050 by the time you add on Bob's mates through the disabled gate for a tenner.

*Bob has to make up his money now that they have closed down his Zoo car park scam

Yeah its really sad. Doubt it even happened and what do you expect would away fans reactions be if you asked them who they prefered. 

Lastly what difference does it make ? We are better, bigger and can certainly muster more than 7500 for a night match in league 2.

Exactly. Imagine going to Sheffield for an away match and a random United supporter stops you on the street and says "ey up lad, do you prefer us or those Wednesday pigs?".

Most of us would just think "wierdo" and walk on...........

To summarise, it never happened.

Missed the game.    Spent most of the evening in bed with a cold / virus, (and) getting well again is paramount over a game of football, but taking reaction from our own fanbase on the game just passed, it makes for some grim reading.     By all accounts we were shit, I mean, drastically awful and totally ineffective, although the BBC website would beg to differ by implying that (we played well at times and created chances etc).     Not saying they're wrong but I'm prepared to side with my our fans version of events, and the general consensus being it was absolutely dire from us - and them, actually - and any chance of promotion from League One, is in reality, getting shorter by the week.      It was rubbish essentially, both Town and Rovers.     Both as bad as each other. 

Maybe I'm not 100 per cent on the accuracy of it all but it was basically the very definition of a contest where gate-paying attendees should be entitled to a refund, no questions asked.     If you look on our Tractor Boys website, there's a 6 page thread indulging tonight's contest and the comments - while some seem exaggerated even from a Town fan's perspective - are heartfelt and the issue of growing animosity / confusion (towards McKenna) as manager are clear.    Personally I think he's done wonders for us, but you'd have to see the games and follow week in week out like myself to properly understand it's not as clear cut as that.   

It's a shame, thought we'd win tonight.     Got up for some water / aspirin and (had to) see what imagined to be a victory and get reading some reaction that I've seen all too many times before.      We dropped two points tonight that's the way I see it.   All right, even Bristol Rovers are there to be beaten but it's like we didn't really try to take a victory from it.     Hate to say it, but I think McKenna would view a  0 - 0   draw over there against that lot as a very good result and 'at least we didn't lose', you know, that level of philosophy.       We've had managers like that before, and right now, in a promotion chasing venture, it's not really the ideology you need to progress.  

(If you look on the aforementioned TB. forum), Some fans are asking for his resignation or someone else to take over at Town.      That would have been insane or utterly ludicrous only a few weeks ago, maybe months back, but after tonight, got round to thinking they just may be on to something.    Tried posting this a moment ago, got logged-out for some reason, so hopefully, this time it goes through.   

Sorry Southend, you've been told a porkie.

Here's what one of theirs thinks;

Last nights game was one of the most entertaining 0-0 draws I have seen for a long time, Ipswich are possibly the best Side (with the exception of us) I have see down the Mem this season, we coped well with their speed and pace, draw was a fair result but we were a bit unlucky in the second half and probably did enough to get a win.

All I have say on this is...................FFS !
