Sheepy: Don’t Judge Us On Stoke

Ipswich Town Chairman David Sheepshanks has urged those Town fan fans who are yet to renew their season tickets not to judge the side on the performance they gave against Stoke.

Town have sold over 10,000 season tickets for next year with the deadline for cheaper prices coming on Thursday Sheepshanks is hoping those who haven’t already renewed won’t make their mind up not to after Saturday.

 

Sheepshanks: “In the circumstances, it was an inexcusable and rotten performance but I'm sure neither Joe Royle nor the players will hide from that fact.

 

“This was essentially the same team that beat Norwich so splendidly and gave us all such encouragement in January and February. So it is not conjecture but a proven fact that we can play a lot better.

 

“I'm sure some supporters may be tempted to desert us after Saturday but I hope that most will consider things in the round and still renew their season ticket.

 

“It is not about individual matches - as galling as this one was.

 

“The prospects remain bright for next season with four injured senior players to return and possible further investment in the team.

 

“The only positives to come from Saturday was having four 18-year-olds in the team and nine home-grown players in the squad.

 

“Things will get better and that is something I'm excited about.”
