I used to be a tractor fan, but now I am an ex-tractor fan.
Always makes me chuckle.

Even if our fans were quiet for the game, the Ipswich fans would barely pipe up - they have been pretty quiet the last 2 visits anyway.
If they brought a banner on the other hand......

did anyone ever explain the point they were trying to get across with that banner? I remember a lot of their fans denounced it, but cant't remember if anyone ever explained the reasoning behind it...?

Ill informed muppets.
We won't forget that in a hurry, especially as Ipswich aren't exactly a model of financial probity. When was the last time that the elusive Marcus Evans sat down with their fans to explain their finances?
I wonder what banner they produce at QPR, Forest and Leicester?

Good to see that at least some of their fans still find the banner embarrassing and doubly so because Marcus Evans isn't exactly transparent about their own dodgy finances. Ooops.
I seem to recall that a handful of ill informed Tractor persons assumed that American Express had bank rolled the building of the Amex rather than just being our corporate and kit sponsors - for which we are very appreciative, but nowhere on the scale they were suggesting.
Plus they were ignorant of the fact that American Express have a long association with Brighton having had its European HQ here for 30 years and being one of the areas largest employers, so we hadn't just prostituted ourselves to some faceless foreign financial monolith........

Even the local Ipswich newspaper was pretty embarrassed...
