Hi all, sorry for the long post, bit I've got a bit of a back story to this post.
My wife's step dad is a Man United fan, but had a soft spot for Ipswich through me. We've been to a few have together and he always looks out for their results. He never knew his own dad and for literally 60 years his mum wouldn't tell him. He eventually managed to track his dad down to find out he had emigrated to Australia. After going out to meet him, he discovered that his dad is a Town fan and that he has a half brother who is also a Town fan. His half brother is now visiting and we're going to come to watch the Bristol Rovers match in a couple of weeks. I wondered if there would be any way to make it more special than just attending, seeing as he's come from the other side of the world to visit Portman road. He went up to Shrewsbury yesterday as well and had a great time.
I'd love to try to arrange something nice for my father in law and his brother if at all possible. Any advice gratefully received. |  |

Sure they would be happy to announce something in the fan zone before the game. Maybe a graphic there and/or on the big screen in the ground? Also have you considered a stadium tour? Not even sure if and when these take place. |  | | |

That's good to know. I've only just found out that he's going to the Bristol game. We live near Bicester, so it's a bit of a trek, but it's the only home game he can make whilst he's over. Any idea who I should get in touch with? | |

Contact Rosie Richardson, lovely lady. A few years ago, my family arranged a surprise corporate event for me for a landmark birthday. She explained all of the options, was attentive, organised a fantastic day and even called me afterwards to ensure that I had an enjoyable time. I'm sure she'll find something for you. | | | |

Send the club an email and I’m sure they’d put a note and photo in the programme for you. Would be a nice family souvenir |  |
