Norwich Derby Moves
The Blues’ home East Anglian derby with Norwich City has moved to Thursday 21st April with a 7.45pm kick-off having been previously set for the following day, which is Good Friday.
Town say the switch was agreed with Suffolk Constabulary after concerns about the additional costs and travel issues related to playing the game on a Bank Holiday.
In addition, some fans were unhappy at the match being scheduled for the religious holiday, while the game would also have impacted on the Ipswich Witches’ traditional Good Friday meeting.
A Town spokesperson said: "For fans of both clubs, the derby games are the most important fixtures of the season and we feel that bringing the game forward to miss the Good Friday holiday period gives the supporters of both clubs the best opportunity of being at Portman Road for what we are sure will be a great occasion.”
