Hi Guys and Girls,
Technically I might as well say Ipswich fan in peace, though I'm not here about that!
I'm a film-maker and Journalist and currently making a documentary entitled "What Is A Football Club?". It's essentially a look at the relationship between a Football Club and it's supporters, because whilst we're all attached to our own clubs in some capacity, it's a lot harder to explain how it came about or why it is!
There's a section in the documentary specifically looking at the Sky Blues because it is a club that overseen so much change in the 21st century, specifically with the club moving from Highfield Road (A small traditional stadium in the heart of the city) to the Ricoh (A shiny new, multi-purpose stadium on the outskirts, the likes of which we see so much nowadays).
I'm looking for any fans who lived or is living in the Hillfields area whilst Highfield Road was there and I'm asking for their experiences.. What was it like on match day? Any funny stories? What was the atmosphere like in the community? And how did it affect your relationship with the club? Has it changed now HR is no longer there?
If anyone wants any more information or wants to share anything send me a message and I'll happily give you my contact details and show you previous work
I've been to HR and the Ricoh many times in the away end and have nothing but good things to say about your club, and can't wait for our next meeting in the Championship soon!
Tom
