Ipswich and Telford are the same size but one gets 20000 and the other 800 for a home game.

Telford is a feeder town for nearby wolverhampton and plays at a low level. Also you have west bromwich and shrewsbury in the local area. Ipswich doesn't have so many clubs nearby and play in the 2nd tier so less likely to lose fans

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!
