The Experience
Ipswich are always a popular club with their reputation as a family club and you'll generally enjoy the day out. The ground has had 2 stands redeveloped and recently hosted the England Vs Croatia friendly. The ground is a little quiet but away supporters can make some decent noise. The food is up to standards although there does seem to be problems in the past between away supporters and the away stewards and the Police.
