Welcome to my Ipswich Town FC website. My name is Torben. I'm
38 years of age
and I live in Denmark. I've been a Town supporter since March 2000, and since then I have evolved into a hardcore fan.
My dad and I have always been huge fans of english football. Back in the
late '70s we always sat and watched english football every saturday on
danish television. My dad's team back then was Stoke City, and my team was
Manchester United. Fortunately that has all changed now. Now we're both
Ipswich Town supporters. It all started by a coincidence actually. Being
such huge fans of english football we decided that it was about time that we
went to England to see a game live. A danish football paper called
"Tipsbladet" is arranging short trips to premier league and first division
regularly every season. So we decided to find a match and go along on one of
their trips. We ended up choosing Ipswich at home against Fulham on March
25th. 2000. We chose Ipswich 'cause it wasn't that far from Harwich, and it
wasn't very expensive either. So Ipswich it was.
Man, what an experience. The atmos in and around the stadium was tremendous
The fish and chips stands, the merchandise stands, the polite nature of the
people, Martijn Reuser scoring in the last minute in his debut for the club.
It all added up to make it a trip we would never forget. I mean we were
singing the blues all the way back to Denmark. Since that day it has been
Ipswich all the way and will continue to be so in the far future.
I have seen Ipswich several times since then and on this page I want to
share my moments with all you Town fans out there by adding a lot of
pictures and video clips.
Traditions have also seen the
light of day over the years.
-We always go to a pub called "The Black Horse Inn" before the match and after the match.
-We always get a burger or fish and
chips outside Portman Road before the match.
-We always visit the market on town square.
-The pub's "The Black Horse Inn" and "Manning's" are mandatory. |
