Dear All,
I hope you are all well and looking
forward to the big kick-off at Reading next Saturday. It's good to
note that we sold our away allocation with 10 days to
spare; confidence/optimism amongst Town fans must be
returning.
(i) 2014
Supporters Day
The main reason for the email is
to mention that the ITSC Exec met recently and decided that the
2013/14 Supporters Day will take place on Saturday 15 March
2014, with events to take place before, at half-time and
after our home match against Wigan Athletic. Details about the events
will be circulated nearer the time, however, this note is to provide your
branch members, particularly those overseas, with as much notice as
possible (8 months in fact), to plan your trips.
From feedback received after last season's event,
I believe most of the overseas members had an enjoyable time, including
post-match meets with Town legends and pre-match live radio
interviews on BBC Radio Suffolk with Phil Ham on the radio
show Life's A
Pitch.
(ii)
German Fans in Town - Fortuna
Blues
I'm
informed that a group of approximately 70 Town
fans from Dusseldorf will be attending the QPR home game
on Saturday 11 January 2014. Due to the numbers
travelling for the game, I believe the ITSC Exec are planning some events to
coincide with their visit. Further details will be circulated in a few
months time.
(iii) Italian
Town Fans Charity
Match

of ITSC Italian Branch organiser Simone Longo, please see attached an email
regarding their recent charity football activities in
Milan.
That's it for now. If you want me to
circulate your branch news please forward things on to me. Finally, I hope
to meet up with some of you during the course of the 2013/14 season - good
luck to all
!
Best wishes,
Jon
