Players To Pay Their Way?

Ipswich Town defender Jason De Vos has hinted that the first team squad should chip in to pay for a charter jet to Plymouth next month.

After a six hour coach journey to Sunderland last month with defeat on their mind De Vos feels that flying to Plymouth would help Towns preparation for the game after a staggering 5 games in under 2 weeks.

De Vos: “It is a long, long, way and I would certainly chip in. Skipper Jim Magilton has said we have a fantastic opportunity to get in the Premier League and he is right. I don't think we should let any little thing stand in our way.

“We should be as professional as we can about everything and, if finances at the club are that tight, then I'm sure all the players would be more than happy to pay for the flight because, at the end of it, we are only helping ourselves.

“It takes a lot out of you to spend that much time on a coach.

“Last year, when I was at Wigan, we flew to Gillingham on the Monday night for a Tuesday game because we had already had an away game on the Saturday, but that time Mr Whelan paid and it worked because we won.”
