The Ipswich Town Fans Supporting Foodbanks group said Sheeran was a “great supporter of Ipswich” but home games would continue to sell-out without him.
“What makes him great is he understands that no fan is any bigger than any other, but combined they have immense power,” the group said.
“Even with Ed leaving sunny Suffolk, fans are still protecting the Ipswich community, whether they’re living in Suffolk or Sydney.
“So, we’re sure that Ed will still be looking out for us from afar.”
Sheeran’s new album Play will be released this Friday, on the same day Ipswich Town face Sheffield United.
He will next perform on 20 September at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in America.
