View from my seat
at 09:22 15 Aug 2023

Was excited to check out my new season ticket seat for the first time on Saturday. Being high up in SAR3 it gives a good view of the pitch and the legroom is much better than seats in the West or Cobbold stands. Very similar to the away end view at Sunderland last week. Living in York, it's the first time I've had a season ticket since the irrational excitement of Keane's first season. By the time I decided to get one, after being seduced by Mark Ashton's buy now while stocks last sales pitch, there weren't too many good options for 3 seats together available. I was slightly wary about SAR, having not sat there since the 2001 season when the North stand was being rebuilt. But the atmosphere was OK, there was some singing - mostly following what was coming from the SBR stand. However, I wonder if extending the pitch has worsened the sightlines to the goal at the SAR end. I often needed to crane my neck or swerve past heads to fully view the goal posts, especially when people were walking down the aisle before the end of the match. Strangely didn't hear much from the Stoke fans, given they were so close. But the view of them (and sound?) is obscured by Cobbold stand roof. A couple of drawbacks of the seat's position are I can't see the screen and can't see what Blue Action are up to in Block A. But overall good view, comfortable seat and decent atmosphere. Can't comment on the facilities as haven't used them yet.

I regularly drive my Tesla from Yorkshire to Ipswich (even more soon now I have season ticket). It's brilliant. There are a 16 Tesla superchargers at Grantham plus a load of new Gridserve ones now too, so easy charging en route. Suffolk isn't great for changing yet, but new fast chargers popping up all the time on A14. There are even Tesla super chargers planned at junction 53 of A14 near Ipswich.

You could try my recently published book - Dark Swans

It's a technothriller laced with cynicism about corporate life. It's also full of oblique references to Ipswich Town.

From my seat in the West Stand, SAR upper looked impressively lively during the Exeter match. Hope it stays that way for next season as I've bought season tickets there.

Dark Swans - new book with ITFC connections
at 14:02 29 Mar 2023

Shameless plug, but I published my first book, Dark Swans, on Amazon today. It's a techno-thriller set in York and North Yorkshire (and a small bit in Norfolk). It's not directly Ipswich related, but there are a few oblique ITFC references. It's available in ebook and paperback format. If you like it, I'd be grateful for a review. Thanks.
