We were the first to champion it. We have continued to do so relentlessly ever since. Today, with great sadness, we are withdrawing our support for Ipswich's City of Culture bid. Here's why.

A brief introduction to the new manager of Ipswich Town Football Club, from our very own Barbara Norrey, AKA the West Stand Senior.

Ipswich Borough Council has exclusively handed its City of Culture bid's official media partnership to Newsquest, a US-owned media company with titles in Swindon and Wrexham — two towns competing against us for the same prize. We asked why. The answer simply is not good enough.
Opinion
Ipswich Borough Council's strategy promises to make the town centre "vibrant, inclusive, and a great place to live, work, and visit." Its parking strategy is to charge a little more every year. At some point, it needs to address the obvious contradiction.
Opinion
Claire Boobbyer did not come to Ipswich to be impressed. She came, as many do, without particularly high expectations – and left a convert. Her travel feature in The Independent, published this morning, is a love letter to a town that has spent too long being told it is not worth loving.
Opinion
A chaotic 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday left Ipswich Town fans believing automatic promotion is still within reach, even if the Blues seem determined to make supporters sweat for it.

Ipswich Town's chairman and CEO has a phrase he likes to use in difficult moments. This week, he created the mother of all difficult moments — and then disappeared. This is the story of what happened at Portman Road, what it means for this town, and what it means for the man at the centre of it.
Opinion

Opinion
Jack Clarke's 14th goal of the season put Town in front before the break, but a depleted Ipswich side had to settle for a point after Millwall's tactical reshuffle turned the game on its head in the second half.
Opinion
