I love our beautiful ground. Neglected for years under our previous owner, I cant wait to see it shining in the premiership sun. Give me Portman Road over any soulless bowl 💙
I love how Mark really takes pride in the stadium and the club as a whole. Treating it as if it’s his own home and wants everything to look clean, tidy and presentable.
I am absolutely gobsmacked at the amount going on here. You don't just pitch in on May 5th and crack on with this without having planned for it well in advance. Astonishing effort by all. So proud to be a Town fan!
Gutted to have lost my seat but brilliant communication from the club and it is what it is - small price to pay to watch this brilliant club progress 💙
One of THE best things i've ever seen on YT - what an incredible film. ITFC led by Mark Ashton is unrecognisable from 3 or 4 years ago. We are blessed. How on earth are all these improvements being done on time? A proud fan for 50 years but this gives me goosebumps like the first time!
Fantastic work, the stadium is going to look even more amazing. There is an absolutely fantastic team at Ipswich Town and I’m sure Mark and the team have been working hard to bring the fans an amazing experience for the new Premier League season. Proud of each and every one of them. Great work ITFC 👍
Wow! Just wow! Amazing work going on! What a club, what a team, what an insight for us fans to see the dedication & commitment & money & effort to do our club & themselves proud. Thanks to Andy & especially to Mark for taking the time out of what must be an unbelievably busy schedule to involve us fans in everything going on. Mr Ashton & Co, hold your heads up high! Well done!
Really like this club. Systematically improvements in every corner of the "hardware" as well as the "software". Remarkable and very longed for. Thanks to every single member. Joined the club in 1979 and now it is finally as exciting as then. Go Ips.
That’s a great update. Us fans appreciate the walk through of the changes coming. I am really hoping the loos in the west stand will develop from the 1970s!
This is a fantastic walkabout. Mark Ashton deserves as much credit as our brilliant manager. Not forgetting the Honest and Genuine Owners. What a transformation.... I am 59, a fan since 1973, 51 years.... some wonderful ups, some downs, 19 years in the doldrums. Wow, now look at things. Bring on Liverpool.
Wow , I am amazed at what is required under P.L. rules . Yet confident that it will be done. Kudos to the owners for the foresight in investing for this and to Mark Ashton for pulling it together . What a duo he and K.Mc. are ! And other clubs thought they could poach K. Mc. in the closed season ! Little did they realise that he knew exactly what was going to happen with our fabulous club.
What a fantastic insight. I am so proud of what has already been achieved. So sad I cannot get to home games this season, but will be cheering from afar. Ashton and McKenna have turned this old sleepy club around magnificently.
Such an amazing insight into the fantastic work that is going on at my club. I cannot wait to get back to the place I love on the 17th of august. Big thank you to all the work force, Mark Ashton and his team,and especially Kieron McKenna and the players for bringing our Ipswich town back. ❤
Chelsea fan here. Mark Ashton is great, transparent and very clear with his words. Seems appreciative of the supporters. Great video. Could only wish our owners were and DOF were like this. Killing our football club. Clearlake out
Absolutely incredible! Great to see the amount of work / investment going into the club after many dark years of stagnation! Onwards and upwards! :) COYB!
I'm so proud of my town, I'm so glad the stadium is getting some love after so long. Light up the name and badge again to tell the world we're very much back
I am in construction and if its ready by the 17th you have done a magnificent job,well the workers have mostly 😁 i can't fault the signings so far great potencial giving us the best chance of survival in the first year.i hope fans realise staying up is success this year amd this will be a very different season to the last 2 .i am not someone that wouldnt criticise if it was warranted but i can honestly say i can't fault anything so far so well done to all involved and good luck with the date of the 17th
How on earth have we got any transfers completed with all the stadium work that is being overseen what a team 👏👏👏 so proud of our club., on and off the pitch. COYB !!!
Love this video thank's Mark and team for sharing. By the way we are already proud of our home, but wow what a future we now have. Wil be a great home for some new silverware in the next few years
The path of getting into the premiership has been incredible and watching this is proof of the aspirations to make Ipswich a permanent premiership club - I can’t wait for the season to begin COYB❤
What an undertaking, fantastic planning and commitment! Would be great for you both to retrace your steps the Friday before Liverpool in another video for comparison.
Looks like Mark did squeeze in a holiday with that tan! That, or he’s been the one installing the new floodlights 😂😂😂 Thanks for this update. Great to else all the upgrades - massive work! 💪🏼
Thanks ☮ Andy and Mark for the excellent video,Portman Road is looking great and will be another fortress for the tractors 🚜 in the Premier league , I believe 💙🤍❤⚽️🖤 Hasta la Victoria siempre COYB
Congratulations to the premier league job well done.⚽️🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Great job being done at the stadium 🥇🌟👍🏽Now enjoy your football keep going to stay up. There will be positive n negative l keep going do you, have a great season come on Ipswich Town 🎉👏🏽🤩🌟🥇🙏🏽
I don’t know w hen this video was put out but it is now 26th of July and we are playing Liverpool on Saturday 17th of August so this is incredible I hope you can do it but Mark Ashton has my full admiration for taking on such a huge project
A CEOs role is to know everything about his / her organisation and it's really clear Mark knows every single aspect of what's going on at the club, from players to infrastructure and along with KM and the back office staff, this is why we've been so successful over the last 2 years, and I genuinely believe we can achieve a top 8 finish this year! Underestimate ITFC at your peril this season!
Im a Watford supporter , we upgraded our old school ground at great expense & now have a first class stadium like Ipswich now will have, good luck for the new season
I stand with you mark Ashton I know what everyone is doing at itfc right now is hard work long hours complicated especially all those wires and cables the whole project is amazing and exciting and extraordinary and I can’t wait to see it on the 17th of August for our 1st extremely tough game against Liverpool win or lose I will be cheering and singing for town I just hope that we can all do so without carrying huge expectations for this very difficult opener 😊😊😊😊😊😊
A really fascinating insight into what's happening and a great historical record during this exciting period for our club. Can we just appoint Mark Ashton steward for the whole town? Potholes would be fixed, verges would be cut, schools improved, libraries expanded, etc., etc.
Good to see but Bournemouth has same size ground as Colchester how do they get away with not having the amount of press area etc as we have to accommodate it’s a joke.money that should be spent on players
Hard work by the lads in the building industry. Hats off to those who get their hands dirty and build things . Not everyone sits at a desk and types on a QWERTY !
Just looked into the history of Mark Ashton at clubs and he clearly knows what to do, all the best to Ipswich for the future, they've worked hard to get to the Premier League and will no doubt do the town proud now can we get him at Walsall lol
Please get mark a hard hat when he’s in the construction area because we certainly don’t want anything falling on his head 😂 the man’s such a professional so composed I love him. COYB ❤
Mark Ashton has done our Club and Supporters proud.Thankyou for giving us all our Club back.
Spot on
I love our beautiful ground. Neglected for years under our previous owner, I cant wait to see it shining in the premiership sun. Give me Portman Road over any soulless bowl 💙
Very cool to imagine that 2 years ago Ipswich were in league one
I love how Mark really takes pride in the stadium and the club as a whole. Treating it as if it’s his own home and wants everything to look clean, tidy and presentable.
Yes he is a very likeable man I feel very proud that Mark Ashton is our CEO
I am absolutely gobsmacked at the amount going on here. You don't just pitch in on May 5th and crack on with this without having planned for it well in advance. Astonishing effort by all. So proud to be a Town fan!
Thank you ITFC, for your continued efforts to communicate with the supporters. It's hugely appreciated.
Gutted to have lost my seat but brilliant communication from the club and it is what it is - small price to pay to watch this brilliant club progress 💙
Great attitude from you. You will be rewarded.
All of those that complain...would they rather have their seat but not get promoted?
Agree, that's the attitude we need if it's for the greater good then shouldn't be a problem, it's unfortunate but necessary
So why have you lost your seat
@@smokeye2361 the greater good
Mark Ashton , without doubt the greatest signing this club has made in over 20 years 👏👏👏🚜💙

This is a fascinating video; great communication by the club.
6:32 anyone else notice the concept design has us 4-0 up against Leicester? Gotta love this club 😂
Fantastic work, the stadium is going to look even more amazing. There is an absolutely fantastic team at Ipswich Town and I’m sure Mark and the team have been working hard to bring the fans an amazing experience for the new Premier League season.

Absolutely crazy. Just incredible the amount of work being done for the 17th.
I know it’s almost unbelievable so much work to to in such little timeframe
😮
23:45 - Something I've been asking since the stand was built !! Great to see it finally being completed. UP THE TOWN.
Wow! Just wow!
Amazing work going on!
What a club, what a team, what an insight for us fans to see the dedication & commitment & money & effort to do our club & themselves proud.
Thanks to Andy & especially to Mark for taking the time out of what must be an unbelievably busy schedule to involve us fans in everything going on.
Mr Ashton & Co, hold your heads up high! Well done!
I have nothing but admiration for what Mark has done for our club, his vision and business mind has excelled this club to the next level!

Wow!
A mind boggling amount of work going on
What a tremendous effort - showing that we as good off the pitch as on it
Really good video! Mark Ashton speaks so calmly, concisely and confidently - he is a great leadership & owner role model.
This is a fantastic walkabout. Mark Ashton deserves as much credit as our brilliant manager. Not forgetting the Honest and Genuine Owners. What a transformation....

"Where"d you put them steps mate?"
'There over there in the cupboard.'
😂
What a fantastic insight. I am so proud of what has already been achieved. So sad I cannot get to home games this season, but will be cheering from afar. Ashton and McKenna have turned this old sleepy club around magnificently.
HUGE amount of work being done in such a short space of time. Massive well done to Mark and his team.
It's going to look great for the new season it's going to make Ipswich town the best team with a super stadium ! Great video ! Up the town !
Such an amazing insight into the fantastic work that is going on at my club.
I cannot wait to get back to the place I love on the 17th of august.
Big thank you to all the work force, Mark Ashton and his team,and especially Kieron McKenna and the players for bringing our Ipswich town back. ❤
Love Portman road

Cant wait to see the finished behind the scenes. Very exciting times!
The amount of work being done is staggering. Fantastic work by MA and the new owners. We really have our club back now 💙🚜
Mark Ashton is a top quality communicator!

Hi can we please have a walk through when the work is completed. So great to see all the hard work your team are under taken
Great improvements all round, what a transformation since new owners/ manager, every town fans dream coming true ❤❤

You're doing a great job Mark and team! and we certainly appreciate you!
As someone who just chanced upon this video, this geezer is seriously impressive
Never realised there was this much work going on. Incredible this is all going to be ready in three weeks
One wonders how Luton Town and Blackpool managed. Their grounds had to be in worse condition than Portman Road.
How on earth have we got any transfers completed with all the stadium work that is being overseen what a team 👏👏👏 so proud of our club., on and off the pitch. COYB !!!
Because its different departments, obvs
@@RobertD-u3q obvs but still
@@RobertD-u3qyeah but all ultimately taking from the same financial bucket.
Amazing man
Love this video thank's Mark and team for sharing. By the way we are already proud of our home, but wow what a future we now have. Wil be a great home for some new silverware in the next few years
I got anxiety just watching this lol. Great stuff, thanks. And good luck!
Can't wait to see a tour again once all the improvements are complete!
This is mad portman road getting exactly what it deserves a major refurb love this club #ITFC lets smash this league 😍😍
The path of getting into the premiership has been incredible and watching this is proof of the aspirations to make Ipswich a permanent premiership club - I can’t wait for the season to begin COYB❤
Ashton has completely changed this club around
What an undertaking, fantastic planning and commitment! Would be great for you both to retrace your steps the Friday before Liverpool in another video for comparison.
I hope that you will come back to show us the finished product.
Love this team what a way to go ipswich fan forever 💙🤍
Looks like Mark did squeeze in a holiday with that tan! That, or he’s been the one installing the new floodlights 😂😂😂
Thanks for this update. Great to else all the upgrades - massive work! 💪🏼
Can't wait to see them in person!
Fantastic. Thank you mark and the team. Itfc
Baffling to think they have 3 weeks or so to sort all that out. Dedication to getting it right is so refreshing
Absolutely fantastic work by all - Mark Ashton, we love you! You’ve revived our Club. 💙🤍
Thanks ☮ Andy and Mark for the excellent video,Portman Road is looking great and will be another fortress for the tractors 🚜 in the Premier league , I believe 💙🤍❤⚽️🖤 Hasta la Victoria siempre COYB
Ipswich now has the feeling of a big club 🙂 Puts a smile on my face.
Superb, well done everyone at the Club. Keep It Up.
Mark you should be proud
Blimmin’ Norah, that’s an awful lot of work! The stadium .. or “she” as MA was calling her, is going to look amazing!!!

Fucking spot on.

Agreed but really no need for the language. All sorts of fans are looking at this. By the way, I predict I'll get an f bomb reply but try to resist
@keithwilliams6876 apologies, keith, just over the moon
@@keithwilliams6876 Better than woke garbage we are now faced with
Mark Ashton what a guy!
Very exciting - a great deal to do by 17 August but no doubt this team can get the job done and make everyone proud!
A CEOs role is to know everything about his / her organisation and it's really clear Mark knows every single aspect of what's going on at the club, from players to infrastructure and along with KM and the back office staff, this is why we've been so successful over the last 2 years, and I genuinely believe we can achieve a top 8 finish this year!

Support from Down Under
Im a Watford supporter , we upgraded our old school ground at great expense & now have a first class stadium like Ipswich now will have, good luck for the new season
We've come so far from the days of a camera man on top of a crane in a snow storm behind Churchmans.
😂I remember it well!
Very promising upgrades. The stadium is lookkng great!
I stand with you mark Ashton I know what everyone is doing at itfc right now is hard work long hours complicated especially all those wires and cables the whole project is amazing and exciting and extraordinary and I can’t wait to see it on the 17th of August for our 1st extremely tough game against Liverpool win or lose I will be cheering and singing for town I just hope that we can all do so without carrying huge expectations for this very difficult opener 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hope they do another video in the days before the Liverpool to see the works completed (or almost at least) ❤
Great work ❤
It is actually quite incredible the amount of stuff being done.
Thank you itfc for whats goes into bringing your stadium up to premier League requirements.
Got a good bloke here Ipswich, safe standing is the way to go, it puts the essence of the match back into you
A really fascinating insight into what's happening and a great historical record during this exciting period for our club.
Can we just appoint Mark Ashton steward for the whole town? Potholes would be fixed, verges would be cut, schools improved, libraries expanded, etc., etc.
The stairs in the cupboard really sums up the previous 20 odd years before GameChanger arrived. Incrediable turn around from the club.
Fantastic video. I think you should remake it once the work has been completed.
Holy crap,that's ALOT of work to do and get finished within the next month 😳😳😳
Mark Ashton SIR
A proud moment to be an Ipswich supporter 🥲
The pitch is picture perfect 😀
Good to see but Bournemouth has same size ground as Colchester how do they get away with not having the amount of press area etc as we have to accommodate it’s a joke.money that should be spent on players
I believe that with the way PSR works, stadium/infrastructure spending actually means they can spend more on players
How ever can this be completed by August the 17' .😮😮😮
Hard work by the lads in the building industry. Hats off to those who get their hands dirty and build things . Not everyone sits at a desk and types on a QWERTY !
@@hannecatton2179 No but without desk work this would not occur
@@alliswell2114 Point taken but you have to actually make what is on the desk to reality.
I love this stadium it’s gonna look fantastic when done and the noise will be electric ⚡️ against Liverpool
Thank you Ipswich Town are premiership amazing team spirit carry on kieran mckenna and Mark Ashton 😀 👏
Egress is the oxygen we all need
Ingress pretty important too !
I hope the welders are getting all the acetylene and oxygen they need.
@hannecatton2179 it's difficult to know which one to prioritise
Leicester fan here, the 4-0 made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how in the animation for the tunnel the score on the screen is 4-0 to us vs Leicester 😂
Well if Ipswich are as good as their owner they will do well. Very positive for Ipswich. 😮
KIng Andy!
Just looked into the history of Mark Ashton at clubs and he clearly knows what to do, all the best to Ipswich for the future, they've worked hard to get to the Premier League and will no doubt do the town proud now can we get him at Walsall lol
Semangat Selalu Ipwich Town dan Elkan Bagot
Will the shop get renovated?
See yous next Saturday lads, should be a good away day (any decent away pubs)
Brave puting glass in the away end on top of suits I would of put strong plastic or something other then glass can it be smashed?
Please get mark a hard hat when he’s in the construction area because we certainly don’t want anything falling on his head 😂 the man’s such a professional so composed I love him. COYB ❤
How on earth did Luton cope last season with all these PL ground requirements!
That’s just what I was thinking 🤔
