Detmer: We Want to Engage Town s Lost Generation
Wednesday, 12th May 2021 15:56
New Blues co-owner Mark Detmer wants to get what he believes is a lost generation of Town fans back to Portman Road.
Detmer, speaking to TWTD and Blue Monday in the first podcast of what will be an ongoing collaboration, says it was notable that in the wake of the takeover the successes fans were talking to him and his fellow Three Lions Brett Johnson and Berke Bakay about on social media were all some years ago.
“When we closed on the club, with all humility, there was reach from far and wide, to me personally, to Brett, to Berke and all our group, just thanking us for our involvement, thanking us for our interest in the club and for trying to hopefully get the club back to its former glory.

On Friday, the USL Championship will have its first nationally televised match of the new 2021 season on ESPN2’s airwaves. The hosts, Phoenix Rising, will break in their new stadium at Wild Horse Pass as they look to replicate last year’s Western Conference title.
The visiting San Diego Loyal, however, makes the matchup about more than just 90 minutes of soccer.
The last time these two teams faced off was also San Diego’s final regular season game. In it, now-former Phoenix attacker Junior Flemmings directed a homophobic slur at Loyal midfielder Collin Martin the only openly gay active professional in men’s team sports. What followed ended up becoming one of the most widely discussed moments in the USL’s 2020 season.
According to stats, Saydee provided three assists, scored a goal and created 13 chances in 11 appearances for Miami FC last season in the USL Championship.
Liberian winger Prince Saydee has joined Phoenix Rising FC, pending USL and USSF approval, the club announced on Monday, January 4.
Phoenix Rising is an American professional soccer team based in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 2014 as Arizona United Soccer Club, the team is a member of the USL Championship, the second tier of the American soccer league system.
“I can’t wait to join Phoenix Rising. I haven’t been to Phoenix but I have heard it is a great club. I know the team won championships in the last few years. I feel like I can help them continue to do that,” the club quotes Saydee on its website.

Sam Stanton in training with Dundee.
Sam Stanton has thanked James McPake for helping him stay in peak condition – and is refusing to rule out a permanent return to Scotland.
The former Hibs and Dundee United ace moved to the USL Championship side back in February and helped Rick Schantz’s side win their Conference Cup final against El Paso Locomotive on penalties in October.
Now the 26-year-old midfielder is training at Dens Park thanks to Dark Blues boss McPake and admits he’ll listen to offers from anywhere.
Stanton said: “I’m grateful to James. I know him from our time together at Hibs and he’s been great about me training with Dundee.
