In July 2005 The Famous Glasgow Rangers came to Portman Road to play Ipswich Town in a pre-season friendly. It was then
that it became apparant how much support there was for the Gers locally.
Shortly after this date the Ipswich Loyal
RSC was formed. We started watching games in The Hare and Hounds. a change of management forced us to try 2 other pubs. Whilst
the location was great unfortunately it was a great struggle to find another pub to work with us. It was due to this that
we moved over to Kesgrave and made The Kesgrave Bell our home.
We are in our fifth year at The Bell and cannot thank
Sam and the staff their enough for the hospitality and welcome we get there.
Since the club has been running we
have had group trips up to Ibrox as well as across Europe. For the Ted McMinn benefit game we gave members a free coach trip
up to Derby for the game. We have even been represented on the pitch at Ibrox.
During the past few years we have
sold over 350 items of merchandise and still have polo shirts for sale.
We have had 4 great end of season dances
twice being proud to welcome the Thornlie Boys down to Ipswich to provide the entertainment and followed this with a
boat trip on the Orwell. The club is going from strength to strength and we now have over 50 members.
