Was going to do a separate thread but since I told you all in this one about being invited to the game with my wife and my son for his first game I thought I’d just put it in here. (Sorry admin)

not long got home, bairn is absolutely wiped out but we had the most amazing day, Chris Waters is absolutely amazing as we all know, went above and beyond.

Met the mascots in the fanzone, bought him a scarf from the club shop which we’ve struggled to take off him since I first put it on him outside the shop.

entered through the reception, straight to the padded seats which was a lovely suprise. Chris popped out and gave us an envelope with a poster in signed by all the players, told us to enjoy the game then he would see us at full time.

Absolutely loved the game, sang and danced for most of it had to put his IPad headphones on because that new sound system I can only assume has been lifted from Space in Ibiza when it closed and has been strapped to the roof of our stadium.

He lost interest for half of the game, but that’s expected given he’s only four but never once asked to go home etc, even better giving the result as I feared we’d get pumped today so elated that his first game was a win, and a great one at that.

full time went, we stayed to soak in the last of the atmosphere while the crowds cleared and then Chris came to find us, who asked us to come to reception with him, so we did.

Guided to a little roped area inside reception next to the oil painting and got given a ball and marker to get signed by the players, so spent a good hour there talking and taking photos (more so for me) me and our lass have both fell madly in love with Dennis Cirkin too, what a beautiful specimen he is.

Good luck Clarke son. Small tear in my eye today. He did so well. What a perfect combination. Lad who needed a club and fan base to back him and a player who would try his heart out. Genuinely hope he smashes the prem and hopefully international

Not trying to pick a fight, but the fanbase wasn't always on his side.
 
Sad to see Jack go, but hope he smashes it. He seems like a good lad and both him and us needed each other at the right time.

I've always been quite level headed and positive about this group, but jesus there's some potential in this team. RLB has them in a shape, structure and philosophy that is working a treat atm. Hell of a long way to go, but a strong end to the window (we always play late) and I'm quietly confident.

Think his backup and team mates could play a bit more than current Ipswich squad mind….

.. he was also utterly rapid, Jacky ain’t.

Looks like he wrote that farewell himself, which I love: wish the lad all the very best he has been a diamond for us.

****ing Shane we will never get to give him an applause when they pass us on their way down like (partial jokes…)

interesting, I’m watching on the whistle and Phil Smith has said outright we are after two forwards, whether that’s two out and out 9’s or one 9 and one versatile who knows

he outright said though, Sunderland still want Mendy, they are still after him and they are hopeful it can be done

He also said Simic was not here the other day for a medical but it was for talks and that the lad has multiple options

He said there is zero offers for Ekwah as of right now and that the udinese offer wasn’t really serious as they haven’t came back in for him

All the best to Clarke but I think we will be more than fine without him. We clearly relied on him far to much at times,and in his absence, we looked clueless. I must say, no disrespect, but I thought he would go somewhere other than Ipswich. I always thought he's end up at Brentford, West Ham, Brighton etc. Anyway, forward we go.

I think you may be right to be fair. Clarke was a young lad trying to find his feet after a couple of failed loans. His confidence was low and it showed. I think it was more frustration on the fans part as the team was struggling to beat the league one cloggers. He found his edge once we got promoted and never looked back.
