Ipswich Fans With Banners...

[Triggaaar]

It just doesn't make any sense at all does it lol.

Indeed.

Hang on. Is it having a go at Corporate naming rights? I think that's it. Maybe.

I think the reality is, they made a mistake. It was supposed to be 'There's some things money CAN buy. Football isn't one of them.' Suggesting we've spent money but the ground is shit, which would be incorrect. Idiots.

 

[The Wizard]

Some things money CAN'T buy?
Football ISN'T one of them?

So it can? Banner fail.

 

[tedebear]

I seriously don't get the banner? Do they mean you can buy a stadium with money? I'm rather confused, but we won - they lost and they can take their odd banner home with them...

How rather bizarre....if you're going to try and insult someone at least make sure you're insulting!

Yes, but you're only guessing. Anyway, how would they know? Or did they knock up the banner in the concourse before the game? Perhaps there was a queue for pies?

Truth is, we need to hear from the people who made the banner.

Yes I am, that's all we can do as it made no sense. I imagine they just decided they didn't like the stadium or the club before they came.

Truth is, we need to hear from the people who made the banner.

You think they'll be capable of making sense. Optimistic. Assuming it was a cockup, there's a good chance they won't admit it.

 

[Beach Hut]

An amazing insult that banner however spurred us on

 

[element]

Unless it was in fact a benevolent gesture, nodding to the Goldstone being sold out from under us, and actually alluding to the Amex as proof of the pudding that football per se is bigger than Archeresque asset stripping

 

[Eggmundo]

Very, very strange? Can't work out if it was a compliment or not. PLus they unfurled another banner in the second half. Some website address I think? Got taken away quite sharpish.

Can someone start the:

"Ipswich don't think much of our stadium"

thread now so we can get it out of the way? After that tonking I expect they'll be apopleptic about how plastic/unfinished/soulless it is

 

[stss30]

To be fair. Ipswich fan from a different board

1)"****ing idiots

I don't even know what point the morons were trying to make."

2)"If they are the people I think they are then they are a bunch of *****

The first one doesn't even make sense FFS.

I would like to apologise for them but I don't even want to be associated with them "

A brighton fan says they had another banner ready as well, anyone else see it? Wish I had if it was anyway near as comic as the last one!

 

[The Fifth Column]

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?!?

 

[Timbo]

We really are getting a bit precious nowadays.

 

[upthealbion1970]

How many crayons were used in the epic fail banner?

 

[Joey Deacon's Disco Suit]

How many crayons were EATEN in the epic fail banner?

I've corrected your post.

 

[Kneon Light]

Banner at the end said No to EPPP.co.uk
was about the Elite Player Performance Plan I guess.

 

[El Presidente]

Second banner said "SayNoToEPPM.com I think. Which is a referenc to the Premier League stealing all the young talent from the football league

I'm not insulted, or angry, just confused.

 

[ewe2]

Very naive IMO as it got even mild natured fans near me wild as hell,with the disgraceful banner.........i mean what were they thinking.......

 

[Jam The Man]

Got involved with a Twitter debate at the start of the match:

A R Berry ‏ [MENTION=23245]Jamrelb[/MENTION] :
#itfc fans display the most ignorant banner ever seen in football history #bhafc

Tim Regester ‏ [MENTION=5325]TechnoTim2011[/MENTION] :
[MENTION=23245]Jamrelb[/MENTION] Clearly you must be all in favour of the corporatisation of football. #antimodernfootball #itfc


Tim Regester ‏ [MENTION=5325]TechnoTim2011[/MENTION] :
[MENTION=23245]Jamrelb[/MENTION] clearly you are a fan of the corporatisation of football. #antmoderndootball #itfc


A R Berry ‏ [MENTION=23245]Jamrelb[/MENTION] :
[MENTION=5325]TechnoTim2011[/MENTION] clearly you have absolutely zero understanding about the history of #bhafc .. even your own #itfc fans found it embarrassing



Bizarre!
We are clearly not the club this should be aimed at!

 

[The Fifth Column]

Eh? That makes as much sense as those banners, what are you on about?

 

[Butch Willykins]

Just seen this on twitter. Absolutely pathetic.
