Ipswich Town v Preston North End Championship League Saturday 16th January , 3pm Paul Willott Preston North End fan A trip to Portman Road for anyone living in the South East is a most enjoyable and relatively easy fixture to attend, and accordingly was one of those weekends that was ring-fenced for myself living in North Kent as a high priority fixture.

Plus points for Portman Road: 1 Ground perfectly located near the town centre and places to eat and drink 2 Short walk from well connected main line railway station 3 A stadium that actually looks like a proper football ground 4 Home fans are among the most welcoming and friendly in the country 5 Floodlight Pylons Minus points for Portman Road: 1 Catering seems routinely woeful for away following.

Tom Bellamy Barnsley 6th August Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: After the game we decided to kill a little time before our long journey home so we noticed a "Subway" cafe near the Stadium where we went for a bite to eat. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Overall although the result was not what we had hoped for we enjoyed the day out. Stewart Coniff Aston Villa 17th September I was seated in the Co-op Stand Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: We walked back to the hotel.

Shaun Tully Leeds United 18th February Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Due to my now starving son and I was quite hungry too we decided to go to the nearby Nando's to eat There's several different outlets in the same complex, from proper restaurants to McDonalds So by the time we left the traffic had died down.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Well, we enjoyed ourselves at Portman Road, and we felt at least we out sung the locals even if we couldn't outplay them! Dan Smith Fulham 26th August I was looking forward to hopefully seeing Fulham pick up a first win of the season after some disappointing results and also ticking another ground off the 92! Very easy, the train from London Liverpool Street to Ipswich was about an hour and I could see the Portman Road ground as we pulled in to Ipswich Station, so I knew where to walk to and it only took about five minutes.

I got there quite early to have a look around the ground which seemed very pleasant. I got a very nice and fairly cheap burger from a van outside the ground and bought a keyring from the club shop.

The Cobbold Stand Upper where the away fans sit seemed fairly nice and my view from about five rows from the back was very good. The one slight issue I had was the lack of leg room, but we mostly stood at the back so this wasn't as big a problem as at some other grounds.

The whole stadium looked good, a bit like Craven Cottage in that it seemed to have retained a similar style to how it may have looked in the past, I would love to come back to see a game at Portman Road when it is fuller because it felt like the sort of ground that would really carry the atmosphere created by the fans.

All the staff were pleasant, although it is always a bit annoying when you get a drink coke in my case and aren't allowed to keep the lid on… Other than that it was a nigh on perfect day for Fulham, by far the best performance of the season so far bringing a win with goals from the excellent Neeskens Kebano and Rui Font scoring a very good volley for his first goal for the club.

The Fulham fans made quite a bit of noise for the whole game which was a rare but very pleasing occurrence. I was disappointed, however, by the relative lack of noise from the home fans, with large swathes of empty seats, despite Ipswich residing at the summit of the league before this game.

Leaving the ground was very easy, and there was no problems between the two sets of fans. I would have liked to have stayed behind for autographs after the game but Ipswich do not let fans through to where the players get on the coach which is a bit odd. Other than that leaving the ground was very easy and I was on the train within 25 minutes of leaving the ground. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:.

I really enjoyed my day at Portman Road, and it was made even sweeter by a hard-earned three points for Fulham. I'd definitely return to the ground in the future, I can imagine it would be electric for an East Anglia derby!

Charlie Fulham 26th August I travelled by train to Ipswich from London Liverpool Street station, the journey took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Before the game, we decided to go to the Wetherspoons pub called the Cricketers in the centre of the town. The pub is about a 20 minute walk from the train station and around 15 from Portman Road.

The Ipswich fans and bar staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The Portman Road stadium is very impressive and the view from the away end was good, even right at the back. Fulham were going into the game looking for their first league win of the season, whilst Ipswich were flying high and were yet to lose a game in the league.

However, come 3pm Fulham found their class that they regularly showed last season and won the game and could've scored at least another three. Getting away from the ground was very easy due to the Portman Road stadium only being a 5 minute walk from the railway station.

Overall, Ipswich Town was a fantastic away day and would recommend it to everyone. One thing I cannot stress enough is how nice the Ipswich fans were before and after the game, many Fulham fans other than me also said how nice were they were and look forward to welcoming them to the Cottage.

Jon Thomson Sheffield United 6th January It's a long one, and there's no real cross country rail option so it was a case of a train in and out of London, fortunately there seems to be a lot more working together in terms of offering advance tickets for trips like this so it wasn't quite as expensive as it might have been, although I did miss the cheapest tickets.

The Portman Road ground is really easy to find, you can see it as you exit Ipswich Railway Station and I don't think I've been to anywhere that's closer to rail links outside of grounds with dedicated stations. I opted to drink in the Station Hotel directly opposite the station as it seemed the most convenient and was actively encouraging to away fans, unlike other places I've visited recently.

I didn't really fancy heading into town given the proximity of the ground to the station, but as such didn't see many home fans about.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the pub, the beer was expensive and the ales not great, and despite being away fans only they still felt the need to serve in plastic glasses. I couldn't see any obvious places to eat on the way to the ground from there outside of one outside catering unit which had too long a queue to bother with. The location of the away section reminded me somewhat of Peterborough if it was about twice as large — it seemed like a solid, proper football stadium.

The away sector was showing its age a bit, but you at least had a good view of the game. It wasn't the greatest game, better than the brief panning it got on Match of the Day though. The game ended up being an easy enough win for Sheffield United which was settled by a Nathan Thomas strike from outside the box, we could have put the game to bed early in the second half but missed a couple of good chances.

The home atmosphere was non-existent, I know the Ipswich fans are irritated with McCarthy's attitude to the Cup but you'd have thought they could do better than barely scraping into five figures for home attendance, and that those that did go could at least try to make some noise. Easy enough to head straight out — with an hour before a booked train I was annoyed to see the Station Hotel pub I was in pre-match had closed so I walked to the nearby retail park to grab a beer there.

A good all-round day at Portman Road that made a long trip worthwhile, just a shame that the home team and fans didn't make more of an effort. Aimee Henry Wolverhampton Wanderers 27th January Easily done I suppose… As has been the case with many Wolves games this season, especially away from home, the early goal played right into our hands. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: It was a 5-minute walk back to the car at full time, and despite me wearing a Wolves scarf, there was no animosity from the home fans walking with us, most of whom seemed to be trudging off into the Suffolk night with a bit of a sigh.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Well, it was definitely warmer than last time! Thomas Inglis Neutral 12th January It was the first game of the New Year and to check off English stadium No. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: No issues getting away from the ground and the proximity to the town, let me get to 'The Black Horse' to watch the tea time game. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: As usual, I enjoyed ticking off another new ground and another new town to me.

Philip Green Stoke City 16th February Having grown up in East Anglia, I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Ipswich, and Portman Road was one of the iconic grounds I'd never managed to get to before.

It was, therefore, one I'd planned to attend ever since the fixtures were published last June. I had hoped to go with my ardent Tractor-Boy colleague Richard, but he found the prospect of a week's skiing in Canada more attractive strangely! With the likelihood of Ipswich going down at the end of this season, I decided a visit to Portman Road couldn't wait another season so went on my own instead.

I had a very leisurely train ride from Hertfordshire, changing at Cambridge. The train steadily filled up with home fans, and it was great to see so many families use this way of getting to the ground. I felt a flutter of excitement as we approached Ipswich Station when I saw the floodlights already on, despite it being an hour before kickoff.

This also meant that finding the ground from the station was not the most difficult of tasks! I declined the opportunity of joining a horde of Stokies belting out Delilah in the Riverside Hotel opposite the station and headed straight to the ground.

Portman Road must be one of the easiest grounds to get to by train — the only one I've been to as close is Carrow Road. There was a really lovely atmosphere outside the ground, despite Ipswich looking like they were dead certs for relegation with a third of the season remaining. It was good just to wander around, savouring the atmosphere including one ardent fan shouting out unintelligible chants using a megaphone!

The stewarding outside the ground was incredibly laid back — I can't remember seeing any police at all, and only a few other stewards were present. It made for a very pleasant twenty minutes or so wandering around before I went through the turnstiles.

The two new stands at both ends of the ground looked very impressive from outside although unusually these days a walk around the perimeter of the whole ground isn't possible. The area behind the Alf Ramsey Stand is fenced off, and the whole of the area outside the East of England Co-op stand is taken up with a huge fanzone probably the biggest I've seen.

As time was pressing on, I didn't go in, but there seemed to be plenty going on in there. This was quite a spacious area just inside the turnstiles, and there were no queues at all. I made my way up to the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand and the views were surprisingly limited by the low roof, even though I was far from the back of the stand.

The two new stands looked very impressive although sadly only half-full and what I could see of the main stand opposite, it looked a little tired. The dressing rooms in the corner were quite quirky and I'm glad that corner hasn't been filled in.

Considering our bad form of late, the 1, Potters Fans certainly made a lot of noise straight from the kickoff. As mentioned elsewhere, the noise was amplified by the low roof and we couldn't hear anything from the home fans. There was a really poignant moment early in the game during a break in play. The Stoke fans struck up with "There's only one Gordon Banks" who had sadly passed away five days earlier and this was met with universal applause from all sides of the ground.

It really did bring a lump to my throat. The game itself was very poor and was dominated by mistakes from either side. The Ipswich keeper was untroubled until the 42nd minute other than picking up a punt all the way from Jack Butland in the Stoke goal when James MacLean capitalised on a defensive error to score with Stoke's only shot on target. With Stoke's inability to maintain a clean sheet, it seemed inevitable to me that Ipswich would eventually equalise and they did so in the 92nd minute with a straightforward goal from a corner.

At last the Ipswich fans found their voices! For the travelling fans, it was yet another draw which felt like a defeat. I was hit with a wall of cigarette smoke which was quite unpleasant. The stewards either seemed unaware or unwilling to do anything about it. In fact, the stewards were pretty laid back in general and we were able to stand for the entire game. Getting out of my seat took a while longer than usual as the exits seemed unusually narrow but once I was out of the stadium it was a breeze to get away.

The visitors are housed in the corner of the ground closest to the station, which was a bonus! I was back at the station 10 minutes later and on a packed train less than half an hour after final whistle. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out :. Despite the result, I have no regrets about going to Portman Road. It's still a ground with plenty of character and is very easily accessible by public transport. The action on the pitch was pretty terrible, but everything else made it a worthwhile day out.

I only hope that I don't get to go again — this time with my mate Richard — next season in League One! William Biss Reading 2nd March I'd been to the Portman Road ground last season. I was in a good mood despite our poorish form at the moment however we played relatively well in our last two home games against Blackburn Rovers and Rotherham United.

The journey was okay as I went on the supporters' coach. The coaches parked a five-minute walk from the away turnstiles. I didn't really see much of the ground from the outside as we were arriving on the coach. But when I was walking towards it I was happy with how it looked. Inside the views from the away section were good and generally I liked the overall look of the stadium. With both teams at the wrong end of the table, then this close game was nerve-wracking from start to finish. Both teams were having chances and Reading scored first in the 19th minute.

The hosts levelled up late in the second half, but Reading stole the three points with a last minute winner. The facilities were excellent and the stewards were really polite and chatty. Getting away from the ground was quite congested, but once back on the coach, we managed to get away rather speedily.

It was a really good nice day out. The match was a bit nerve-wracking in some parts. Portman Road is not the best ground that I've been to but I would still recommend it to those who visited before 7. Adam Houlden Accrington Stanley 11th January Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: I went to a local hostelry for some food and made our way back to our hotel via taxi and travelled home on the Sunday.

Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: A great weekend despite the long journey and Stanleys below-par performance. Liam Doing the 92 1st February I was looking forward to attending this match as it was a new ground visit for me and Portman Road has lots of history. Looking at the photos on this website before attending the ground looked like it had a retro old fashioned feel to the place and it did.

Another reason I want to visit is because of the game itself. I know it is not the main derby game for Ipswich but was nice to see two teams who are "rivals" play football. I went by train and it was so easy to get to the ground. I only went to Greggs in the station. Before the game, both sets of supporters were great. After the game it started to get a little heated, due to the scoreline but because it was a little derby game.

Portman Road was really nice and it had a great feel to it. I liked how retro the ground felt and I would go again if I was not attempting to complete the Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc.

A really great game for me as I didn't support either team. Peterborough won the game The atmosphere was really poor from Ipswich, but I guess that they didn't have much to shout about. Peterborough tried to make some noise but it wasn't really that great either, to be honest. Again it was really easy to get away from the ground. There was a train back to London at Mark Bonner's U's, widely tipped to go straight back down after winning promotion last season, have had a pretty decent start to life back in the third tier, winning three, losing three and drawing four of their first 10 games.

They've only won one of their last five though, and haven't played since October 2 after last weekend's clash with Morecambe was postponed by international call-ups yes, really.

Joe Ironside is their danger man, with five goals to his name. There's a familiar face waiting for Town too - winger Jack Lankester, who signed for the U's from Ipswich in the summer for an undisclosed fee. He's yet to really make his mark, only seeing action in six games - three in the league - after battling injury.

He did start in the U's last game though, a draw with Crewe - but may not be fit for this one. Such a shame this is a midweek game, given the size of the clubs and the extra spice added by the summer banter between both sets of fans - Pompey starting the short-lived 'Chequebook FC' nickname for Town.

Danny Cowley's Pompey have yet to set the world on fire, winning four, losing four and drawing three of their opening 11 matches. But last time out - on October 2 - they tonked high-flying Sunderland for their first league win since August That's the sort of result which ignites seasons, so one would expect Pompey to be very much up for Town's visit.

The only home game for Town in this five match stretch, this one is very much in the basket marked 'should win'. The Cod Army were widely predicted to struggle this season, and so it's proved, with just two wins from their opening 10 matches.
