Thought I’d just bring this to the top of pile again.

I wonder if they unveil the new kit at the Suffolk Show? Town normally have a stand at the Show don’t they….

I’d think it might be soon? I’m sure MA said the kit was usually designed / agreed and such almost a year in advance.

Last year I think it was July ?! But prem teams tend to realise theirs earlier, sometimes before the end of the current season.

Final friendly to be played has been announced against French side Nice on Saturday 10th August. They finished Ligue 1 in 5th place so should pose a pretty stern test.

Sort of - depends if you are already paying the £6 a month for town tv. Or paid £170 for a year - which is still within the year

Yes I’m tempted but go into hospital on Monday for a knee replacement so not sure if I’ll be out for the next game.
Which 5 games are they and what are the dates. That said if I watch 3 games it breaker even. 👍

If the WiFi signal is good enough I’m sure I could. If the TV is smart I maybe able to mirror TownTV to the television. I’ll find out soon enough on Monday. ☹️

Thanks Shabba. I think it’s payback for playing football until I was into my early 40’s and playing squash three times a week sometimes more. In the 70’s football was a lot rougher than it is today particularly in the Ipswich Sunday morning Licenced Trades Leagues which were sometimes quite brutal.

…..Sunday morning Licenced Trades Leagues which were sometimes quite brutal.
Played 5-a-side football in an Edinburgh league with other “trades & selected other jobs people” —->> brutal would be understating those games.
Got my ankle snapped by an Edinburgh Airport baggage handler. :lol: Can’t even blame it on him being a jambo or anything like that……. He was a Hibee. All taken very seriously indeed. Way too seriously.
Sort of knew this after my very first invited game……. (Cousin invited me) ….. but the guy in charge was doing half time team talks. 🤦‍♂️
I was like, “its feckin 5-a-side 🤷‍♂️. Thought it was just a kick about?”
Month later, stookie on ankle. Feck that shyte.

Mid-winter out here, you'd love it. Middle of the Rugby season. Ooops.
