The banning of Phil from the pressers is easily the most un-Ipswich action the club has taken in my lifetime. Putting aside our recent dismal results, this fundamentally damages the values that we hold dear as Town fans.
Shouldn’t the likes of Stuart Watson and Brennan Woolley be doing more to stand up for the local press freedom by boycotting Lambert?
A stronger, more united approach is essential. Their silence is deafening. |  | | |  |

Most of the Anti-Jim protest seem to come from Deckchair Derek |
And Telly Hunt innit.
Evans being ignorant and plain incorrect about ITFC stuff? Who'd have thought it :) |  |

I bet the official site would kill for figures like that |
The most worrying thing about HamGate is that if this is how the club manage a simple situation, how the heck do they manage something even slightly complicated.
I guess we've seen the answer based on the last 10 years.
In my job if I continually blamed my clients, didn't reply to their emails and treated them with total disdain to a point where it was costing revenue I wouldn't last long (not to mention disappointing level of quality in delivery)
Seems like the tipping point for a lot of people. |  |

The club, or some within it, are badly misreading so many things at the moment.
The situation with you has gone beyond ridiculous and unnecessary and now seems to be vindictive.
They seem to be hugely underestimating the anti Paul Lambert feeling and the recent utterings from the club have probably strengthened those feelings.
At some point soon it should dawn on somebody there just what a mess they are making of public relations at the moment.
I think that we have now gone more than full circle since the arrival of PL and the apathy that he said existed (he was right) because now it is not apathy it is getting more and more anti ITFC.
PL did work off field wonders I think in getting the bulk of the fans solidly behind him but I think that now he has lost all but a handful of those gains. [Post edited 5 Dec 2020 14:23]

Indeed, and for the first time the ground swell of opinion is turning against the organ grinder rather than his monkey.
Evans is a bit Emperor's New Clothes, to Lambert's King Canute.

I am saddened that you have completely misrepresented my post and attempted to personalise it. Frankly, it was very clear that I wasn’t drawing the moral equivalence you suggest. Based on my original thread about the nature of Phil’s banning, and the subsequent posts, there is are clearly something very unjust going on. |
Completely agree that something very unjust is going on, but I think in this case the language you chose undermined your point. |  |

Indeed, I've spoken to ex-chief execs, former media staff, other journalists among others over recent days and none of them can understand the approach that's been taken.
The aim may be to impact upon me and perhaps some vocal fans they see as overly negative, but ultimately the club will be the loser.
Not seen people talking about Town in the way they have over the last few days, long-term season ticket holders, sponsors, people who spent much of their time talking about Town on here and on social media. |
Surely enough is enough and the club should see reason now and readmit Phil .
Don't they realise how much interest in the club TWTD generates , he can't be held responsible for every post on there .
It's no different to Radio Suffolk and their phone ins , they can't be responsible for what fans phoning in say . They are not banning Brenner because of what's broadcast .
The point about the leak is surely that it came from within the club , that's what Evans should be focussing on , it didn't come from Phil and he didn't make the post .
From a PR point , this has been a massive mistake by the club , showing how out of touch they have become , not allowing Phil back in is just making things worse and looks very vindictive . Whatever happened to the friendly , family club we once were .
PHIL we are all grateful for what you do for the fans , we are all behind you |  | | |

Yes, banned from all pressers. Currently post-match pressers are outside, hence I'm not permitted to join the 'socially distanced huddle'.
Have to say, I anticipated the week going very differently. I imagined the club would look at making some conciliatory steps in the early part of the week, whether that meant me returning or otherwise, but instead they opted to double down and make it a wider fight with the local media in general and fans at a time when they need everyone onside. From what I'm told I'm even further away from being readmitted due to the furore which erupted.
Not going to be long before they come up with a scheme for giving recompense to season ticket holders, presumably along the lines of vouchers, the money going towards 2021/22 season tickets etc and then new season ticket sales. Seems incredible to me that they would seek to stoke a row with supporters and the local media at such a time.

F*** 'em.
I'll be finding something else to do this morning rather than tune in to watch their dross. |  |

They say they have a special relationship with the forum which is complete balls. If they even scratched the surface they'd be able to see you moderate this place fairly, write supportive, non-divisive pieces and offer a great place for Town fans (and Ullaa) to chat about the club.
You're hardly some Che Guevara type. |
Hmmmm, some interesting T-Shirt, poster and banner potential there.
Plus would give Phil a reason to wear some rather snazzy headwear.
On another note I can’t imagine how this feels for Phil. Must be horrible.
This is just spiteful treatment. |  | | |

EADT have actually done a pretty good job of highlighting this. Most blogs and articles have rightly condemned the decision. | | | |

Gutted. I feel I have to do something. It's just a drop in the ocean, but at least it's something. Sending this e-mail to the club;
Dear club,
I'm a supporter from Norway. Been a fan since 1978.
When the club goes to war against its loyal supporters like it has done against Phil Ham of TWTD, I feel angry and disappointed. The club has chosen a dangerous path. Therefore I unsubscribed from Ifollow yesterday;
