TWTD Message Boarder Textbackup is looking for ideas for a banner he is planning to have produced in time for it to be unfurled at Portman Road at the start of next season.

He explained that the idea came about through discussions on the TWTD forum: “It just seemed like a good idea with the general feeling at the club seeming a lot more positive than it has in the last 10 years.

“I suppose it came about with many TWTD posters talking about turning Portman Road into a fortress, showing off our proud history and hoping to one day be back in the Premier League.

“The ideas mentioned so far are all in relation to the two great managers, 1962, 78 or 81, Town being the pride of Anglia or TWTD, but people can suggest pretty much anything, ex-player-related or whatever.”

The plan is that the best ideas are mocked up and put to the vote with TWTD posters sharing the cost of having the final banner produced.

If you’ve an idea, post in the comments below or on the related thread on the Message Board.

Chicago_Blue added 22:05 - Apr 29 I like the idea of a banner being displayed over the advertising hoardings, ala Chelsea and Man Utd. Some ideas from me; Tractor Boys Portman Road - The Place To Be Every Other Saturday Osborne, 1-0

Count_Arthur added 22:21 - Apr 29 A banner is a great idea - A quote from Sir Alf or Sir Bobby about the club or football in general - or our Suffolk Punch preferably looking fierce rather than wearing dark sunglasses. Either way get Dan Thomas (TWTD's designer of choice) to design one.

SouperJim added 22:37 - Apr 29 I like the idea of Bobby and/or Alf on a banner, but a good slogan is key imo. Dare to succeed No man is an island History, Unity, Passion Pride, Passion, Purpose Carpe diem

Carol1975 added 23:06 - Apr 29 I don't usually feel compelled to comment but whilst our history is key to us as a club any banner must surely be forward looking not backward looking...we have stands named after our Sirs...we have statues of our Sirs....lets have a banner that looks to the future not more nods to the past.

Mr_Evans added 01:41 - Apr 30 I hate to sound cliché but, as we play Frank Sinatra's My Way in honour of sir Bobby; why not put a spin on a line from that. For example, instead of; "I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way." Why not; "We face it all, we stand tall, and do it 'the Ipswich' way."

Steve_ITFC_Sweden added 09:23 - Apr 30 Great idea. We are way behind some other clubs in the UK and way way way behind the continent in the visual arts of the football supporter. For me, it would have to be the three main points in our history, but any contribution to getting back the atmosphere at PR is to be encouraged. Go for it!
