  • The game we love goes beyond scoring goals. Rolling with the Punches is a series where we explore, celebrate and challenge the role of football clubs in their local communities.


    When Ipswich Town Football Club, a storied old institution, dropped to the third tier of English football in 2019, they were in danger of becoming irrelevant. But a US takeover in 2021, propelled them to back-to-back promotions and a place in the Premier League, after 22 years in the wilderness.


    Ipswich - a small provincial town - is suddenly a Premier League destination again, with a football club worth over 200 million pounds and owners keen to capitalise on the momentum built over the last three years. But the pressure and scrutiny is about to increase as the club scrambles to try and establish itself in the top division. For the town, in need of its own revival, this could be an opportunity it can’t afford to miss.

    Running Towards Adversity - Ep. 6
    2024/11/20

    Ipswich Town’s remarkable transformation continues. But after re-living our improbable and epic return to the Premier League, reality is beginning to bite. For three years, the club has barely put a foot wrong, but what happens when adversity strikes? How can a football club maintain its effectiveness when results aren’t so good? And as the series concludes the focus shifts to the future. The club’s success has breathed life back into the town, but can it be sustained?

    The Ipswich Way - Ep. 5
    2024/11/20

    Following a first promotion in twenty years, we look at some of the underlying reasons behind the club’s rebirth. Football charities, supporters clubs and the women’s team are all under the microscope as we discover why a ‘one club’ mentality is integral to a football club’s sustained growth and ability to impact in all areas of its operations.

    Brand Ipswich - Ep. 4
    2024/11/20

    Ipswich, unlike the rural beauty of Suffolk that surrounds it, has never been seen as much of a destination. The former industrial town has lost its way, searching for its post-manufacturing identity. But with every down-turn there is an opportunity. We meet some of the people here, who are determined to change the narrative around the town. Meanwhile the football club is starting to flex its new financial power on the pitch.
