Yep.... Ipswich were relatively late arrivals to the FL, and we used to play tem all te time in Div 3S in the 40's 50's. It was Sir Alf who got them on the up. The clubs owners were Cobbolds, local brewers, noted for doing things properly. John Cobbold who was chair for years was a proper toff.
Ipswich and Swindon would have been similar in population size in the 60's.... Swindon now twice the size of Ipswich.
And yet half the attendance. Suppose all the incomers brought their pre-existing loyalties with them. |

Great stuff, I am currently not a season ticket holder but would love to purchase a share for myself, my Dad and my Son, if possible.

The ideal birthday present, even for non fans, as it should generate an interest in STFC at worst

Why is the number - 2300 - so specific and not the actual amount of money raised?

Congrats to everyone who has worked hard to get it this far. It’s a fantastic effort. The recent experiences of Basingstoke Town and their chairman who has relocated them to a ground with 50 seats miles away, dug up the pitch, and is in the process of selling stands on eBay, all despite a (poorly drafted) covenant on the title, goes to show how important this really is.

I'll be chucking a ton in once i see the contribution tier structure. I am sure i remember that once you agree to contribute over £100 there are additional incentives..

Does the share come with any rights or risk?

You are right it is a risk Who cares ?, its a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually get involved with the club. Will be good to know that we actually are part of this great clubs future and that the worry of the Council taking control of the ground will be a thing of the past. |
