Ipswich Town fan's Portman Road recreation in Scotland

Conrad Peck has wallpaper of the Portman Road pitch on the wall in his spare room

An Ipswich Town fan who moved to a remote Scottish isle has recreated his club's Portman Road ground in his home.

Conrad Peck, 53, originally from Beccles, Suffolk, made the decision to move to Harris, in the Outer Hebrides, after thinking "life's too short".

Settling just under 700 miles away from the stadium, he dedicated an entire room in his home to his beloved Championship club.

Mr Peck said the shrine "takes me back to my childhood".

Upon approaching retirement, Mr Peck and his wife, Debbie, decided to "pack up and go" and headed to the village of Leverburgh on the Isle of Harris.

Their spare bedroom has become a shrine to his "beloved" team.

"I've got the ground on two walls on wallpaper. I've got lots of souvenirs and memorabilia. I've got flags on the ceiling - just about everything, really.

"Anything I can get hands on and it's still a work in progress."

Mr Peck says Portman Road is a "special" place, where the atmosphere is "unexplainable"

Mr Peck said the room gave him solace and, despite the distance back to Suffolk, a sense of a "special" Portman Road.

"When you go home to somewhere special, you get that really strange, nice feeling," he said.

"That is the feeling I get when I go down to Portman Road. It takes me back to my childhood."

Despite missing the atmosphere of Portman Road, the pair describe their new home in Leverburgh as "stunning"

Mr Peck said he was able to create the room because his wife was "particularly understanding".

"She just lets me get on with it and she probably thinks I'm crazy, but there you go."

However, he has accepted the atmosphere at Portman Road was hard to recreate in the room, despite having Faithless' Insomnia playing - the song the players walk out to at the start of their home games at the 29,673 capacity stadium.

"The atmosphere, it's unexplainable. "It makes your hair stand up on your arms and everything, it's a fantastic place," he added.
