Ipswich Fans With Banners...

[oldalbiongirl]

I didnt have a clue what it was about so asked on their forum. Seems many were as confused as us. TWTD.co.uk | Forum | What was all that about today? by brighton1

Banner or no banner , Ipswich fans let their team down today. F king rubbish they were for 2.5k.

 

[Kittyhawk]

What no Millwall?

 

[Mr Smggles]

Buying football?? They are the ones with numerous players on £20,000 a week!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

is it just me or does that banner not even make sense? 'some things money can't buy, football isnt one of them' is a double negative.. so you can buy football? retards.

I took it as saying 'We've paid to be where we are now'. Which in their defence, is true. As it is with every other football club.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Just take it as an insult to the Amex, but then they can talk - Portman Road is the shittest stadium in the league ive been to - even Peterborough and its wooden seats is better.

Hang on Or Selhurst OR Fratton.

No way near.

Got a nice "boo" from the AMEX crowd when the away attendance was read out near the end

Yep... Sounded great too. I think we should boo the away attendance every week from now on. None of this clapping bollocks.

Bunch of tossers the lot of them,so glad the boys done us proud with a fantastic performance.

Who cares what the banner says. If anyone is upset by it you need to get a life.

 

[Silent Bob]

Added a little bit of needle to the atmosphere and a little bit extra to an already excellent win.

So thanks, Ipswich retards!

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I think the banners were trying to say...You can spend money and build a stadium (Amex) but you cannot buy a team to play football...or words to that effect...glad the team gave them the right and just answer!

 

[clippedgull]

The only reason people didn't get it is because it didn't say 'American Express Community Stadium just 'The AMEX'

And for what it's worth i agree with them, stadiums shouldn't be named after PLC's

I quite agree.

Lets put season tickets up by £200 next season and tell Amex to do one.

You obviously don't understand economics.

I think most of us are just baffled and our brains are hurting, will anyone ever work out what it meant, somebody tweet stephen fry, he'll work it out!,

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Bitter, no class, inbred, no-mark, tinpot, 6-fingered, embarrassing bunch of total wankers.

I have to say i was shocked by the banner that ipswich fans held up before the game, it just seemed to be a complete random attack on us for no reason what so ever. I'm not one for hatred but i hope ipswich have a really bad run til the end of the season now, they were poor today on the pitch, the fans were poor off it and i saw more teams in league one last season who deserved a place in the championship (huddersfield) than ipswich do!!!

The banner really spiced up the atmosphere and got the fans singing: and wasn't it good when we got the second goal? (Where's your banner gone?)

I don't think it was a case of being precious, but as Albion fans we have put up with a lot of shit, so if we sometimes get a little touchy about other fans having a go at us about our new stadium, that is possibly understandable.

Personally I love it when things like this come back to bite the people who try to make a point without understanding the full facts. Amex are a corporate giant, but they are also a major employer in the town and responsible for supporting the local economy.

I would take issue with 'Working Class Pride' however. We did not spoil their promotion party: I went to the game with a friend from university who lived in Felixstowe. Not only did the defeat confirm our relegation I had to suffer going with him to the promotion parade the next morning, then have him singing about it all the way back to campus. I didn't hear many of the tractor boys moaning about our fancy dress antics, they were too busy celebrating.

The second banner had some reference to a web address, something like tppppft.com or similar to that, not one person could figure out what any of the banners meant. A steward simply ripped the last banner out of their hands and dumped it in the corner. I'm baffled but whatever the message meant it was lost on everyone and was taken as an insult.

That actual web address in google gives some results about corporate greed so maybe it was some crusty students protesting about Amex?!?

You might be right, some protest against the naming of the stadium, what a load of nonsense, hope they enjoyed their long journey home back to their dull swamp like home, re-living
the three goals.

 

[clapham_gull]

Anger over now,we gave them the best response. Utterly stuffed them, not sure what game Paul Jewell was watching.

 

[deenomeet]

American Express is a corporate giant? I thought it was a local employer, based in Edward Street.

So its not a corporate giant then?
