What to expect from the Portman Road crowd?

Portman Road has long been reputed to be one of the best grounds in the Championship, and the professional leagues in general – and I can see why. The crowd whilst being a friendly bunch are passionate supporters and will really get behind their team for the full 90 minutes and beyond. The away fans are given a good sized allocation which always makes the atmosphere two sided!

They’re a friendly bunch. There’s very rarely any trouble at Portman Road, and most travelling fans report that everyone is friendly, helpful and loves a good bit of rivalrous banter! It’s a big stadium which isn’t always full, however the atmosphere is usually top notch. Good acoustics: there’s a huge amount of noise generated by the away fans in the Cobbold Stand, so the home crowd has to respond in kind!
