Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna has said he wants to get the whole county behind the Tractor Boys next season. 

Speaking after it was announced that Ipswich were freezing their season ticket prices for next campaign, McKenna laid out his bold ambitions for the club’s support.

“But its also important we stay connected with that fanbase – we try where possible to make things affordable as much as we can, and we treat our supporters well, and we also reward the fantastic support that they’ve been giving us.”

“We are so grateful for the support we’ve had so far and we really hope that can continue into next year and we can really get the whole county behind the team, and (then) we can feel that support at home and really turn it into a fortress.”

Ipswich Town have lost just twice at Portman Road so far this campaign, demonstrating just how tough it is for opposition teams to get a result there.

McKenna went on to praise the home support as ‘special’, outlining how their big turnout each weeks helps both on the pitch, and off it.

“It’s very special, especially at the level of football that we’re playing at.” McKenna continued.

“It’s important to us in every aspect, it makes it easier to attract players to the club, it enables us to keep our best players and it gives us the best
