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 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 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 , 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.
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.
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!
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!
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 !!!
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.
Absolutely incredible! Great to see the amount of work / investment going into the club after many dark years of stagnation! Onwards and upwards! :) COYB!
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. ❤
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 🎉👏🏽🤩🌟🥇🙏🏽
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.
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
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! 💪🏼
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
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.
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
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
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❤
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
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 😊😊😊😊😊😊
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
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!
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.
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 ❤
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
Mark Ashton has done our Club and Supporters proud.Thankyou for giving us all our Club back.
Spot on
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
6:32 anyone else notice the concept design has us 4-0 up against Leicester? Gotta love this club 😂
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 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 💙
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 👏👏👏🚜💙
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
😮
Thank you ITFC, for your continued efforts to communicate with the supporters. It's hugely appreciated.

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!
23:45 - Something I've been asking since the stand was built !! Great to see it finally being completed. UP THE TOWN.
"Where"d you put them steps mate?"
'There over there in the cupboard.'

@@RobertD-u3q obvs but still
@@RobertD-u3qyeah but all ultimately taking from the same financial bucket.
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 !
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.
Love Portman road
I got anxiety just watching this lol. Great stuff, thanks. And good luck!
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.
Absolutely incredible! Great to see the amount of work / investment going into the club after many dark years of stagnation! Onwards and upwards! :) COYB!
Really good video! Mark Ashton speaks so calmly, concisely and confidently - he is a great leadership & owner role model.
HUGE amount of work being done in such a short space of time. Massive well done to Mark and his team.
The amount of work being done is staggering. Fantastic work by MA and the new owners. We really have our club back now 💙🚜
We love you Mark. Your incredible work for this club will never be forgotten. Legend.
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. ❤

Can't wait to see them in person!
As someone who just chanced upon this video, this geezer is seriously impressive
Fantastic. Thank you mark and the team. Itfc
Superb, well done everyone at the Club. Keep It Up.
Absolutely fantastic work by all - Mark Ashton, we love you! You’ve revived our Club. 💙🤍
Baffling to think they have 3 weeks or so to sort all that out. Dedication to getting it right is so refreshing
Ipswich now has the feeling of a big club 🙂 Puts a smile on my face.
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!
Mark you should be proud
Very exciting - a great deal to do by 17 August but no doubt this team can get the job done and make everyone proud!
Holy crap,that's ALOT of work to do and get finished within the next month 😳😳😳
Mark Ashton what a guy!
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
Support from Down Under
Very promising upgrades. The stadium is lookkng great!
Great work ❤
It is actually quite incredible the amount of stuff being done.
I hope that you will come back to show us the finished product.
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) ❤
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

Thank you itfc for whats goes into bringing your stadium up to premier League requirements.
KIng Andy!
I love this stadium it’s gonna look fantastic when done and the noise will be electric ⚡️ against Liverpool
Mark Ashton SIR
Omg look forward to see for Premier league season and club and Mark Ashton
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.
Thank you Ipswich Town are premiership amazing team spirit carry on kieran mckenna and Mark Ashton 😀 👏
Got a good bloke here Ipswich, safe standing is the way to go, it puts the essence of the match back into you
I love Ipswich
The stairs in the cupboard really sums up the previous 20 odd years before GameChanger arrived. Incrediable turn around from the club.
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 ❤
Leicester fan here, the 4-0 made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing all this work left to do make me nervous 😅 although I know nothing about building work, sure it will be fine. Up the Town 💙🤍
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
I love how in the animation for the tunnel the score on the screen is 4-0 to us vs Leicester 😂
The pitch is picture perfect 😀
Fantastic video. I think you should remake it once the work has been completed.
A proud moment to be an Ipswich supporter 🥲
See yous next Saturday lads, should be a good away day (any decent away pubs)
A million miles away from the Marcus Evans days!🚜
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
Oozing with character!
That was awesome
