How much do you know about the other Football Club in Ipswich?

Posted on July 23, 2024 by Ipswich Wanderers FC

Ipswich Wanderers was formed under a different name in 1980. The Club started as an under 14’s boys’ team in 1980, and two years later they entered the lowest division of the Ipswich Sunday League before joining the newly formed Eastern Counties Division One as founder members in 1987.

Home games were played at the present ground at Humber Doucy Lane, under the name of Loadwell Ipswich. The Club later changed its name to Lancaster Ipswich FC before eventually becoming Ipswich Wanderers.

The Club’s fortunes have changed, as with most clubs over the years, but coming right up to the present day, the Club is on a high, having become the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division Champions in 2022-23!  Several changes have been made to the team line up ready for the new season.

The Club currently runs a number of teams:  Men’s First Team, Men’s Under-23s, Under 18s Thurlow Nunn, Under 18s SYFL, Under 16s Easter Junior Alliance, Under 15s Eastern junior Alliance, Under 13s Easter Junior Alliance, Vets. There is not currently a Woman’s or Girl’s Squad yet.

Ipswich Wanderers can be found at: GBS Stadium, Humber Doucy Lane, Ipswich, IP4 3NR :  https://goo.gl/maps/zp8X2XKe2QMUsRw3A

Improvements to the ‘Doucy’ GBS Stadium and ground have recently been made in a number of areas including an extension to the away changing room, new pitch perimeter fencing, a new male toilet block, medical room, additional seating, and a double turnstile.

Matchday Prices currently are:

  • Adults – £10
  • Concessions – £8
  • Young Adult (16-23 years) – £6
  • Under 16s – £3
  • Under 11s – free when accompanied by an adult
  • Season Ticket Holders gain free entry into league and Under 18 games. Season Tickets are now on sale for the 2024/25 season.  As Ipswich Wanderers continue their next league campaign in the highest step of football in the club’s history, you can see every game for just £160 (Adult).

Ipswich.love events will shortly be home to all fixture matches for the Season, meanwhile why not start by coming to the pre-season friendlies?

Finally the Club is looking for volunteers to join their team at the Doucy. Promotion brings with it greater requirements in order to ensure the best matchday experience. The ground has seen massive upgrades over the season, now the small team needs the same!  If you think you could help as a steward, bar service, kitchen assistant, turnstiles, admin, stadium announcer or media the Club would love to hear from you.
