"Maybe I'm a marked man!" joked Berra ahead of tomorrow's match with Nottingham Forest. "I've not had many opportunities of late to be fair, but I would like a goal soon."

Tim Edwards says he checked out social media to see reaction to the 1.5% rise: "I really fully expected that there'd be an awful lot of people being very very critical and simply that doesn't seem to be the case.

"The vast majority of fans seem to be saying £6 a year, I pay it by direct debit, that's 50p a month, I can probably take that."

Ipswich Town have been criticised by some of their supporters in recent weeks for the standard of football they have produced.

But ahead of tomorrow's match with Nottingham Forest, defender Christophe Berra has reminded fans the Blues have come a long way since November 2012, when they propped up the table. 

"It's the third year in a row now that we've been fighting promotion," Berra said. "We're not world beaters and we need to remember where we've come from."

More now on the increase in season ticket prices at Portman Road - as we told you earlier, MD Ian Milne has described the 1.5% rise as "reasonable", although some of the comments on our Facebook page, external show that not everyone agrees.

• Mark Hinds says, external: Utter disgrace for the tripe that's served up

The 1.5% increase in Ipswich Town season ticket prices is "reasonable", the club's managing director says.

Ian Milne told BBC Suffolk: "We've tried to be fair in season ticket prices, we do have our bills, but we thought a reasonable peg would be the retail price index."

He also said there'll be no increase in match day prices and that they will "fall in line" with what supporters have been paying this year.
