Cheerleaders to Return to Portman Road

Town are looking for cheerleaders for the 2012/13 season as they make changes to their matchday entertainment, including adding a dance routine at half-time.

Club secretary Sally Webb said: "Obviously our priority is to find a winning formula on the pitch that will provide entertainment for the fans.

"But as a club, we are looking at various ways of adding to the matchday experience for supporters coming to Portman Road.

"We are talking to the fans and will be doing so more over the next few weeks to gauge opinions as we look to change things around for next season.

"We’ve had cheerleaders before and they were very popular so we’re now on the lookout for a new group to become part of our matchday team.”

If you are part of an existing dance group and would like to become the club’s cheerleaders or are an individual who fancies the challenge of putting a group together, contact Jade Cole or Julie Bryant at the club by email. A link to video footage would be beneficial.

Alternatively, post a DVD of your group in action to Jade or Julie at Press Office, Ipswich Town Football Club, Portman Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP1 2DA.

The Blues are welcome to suggestions for improving their matchday entertainment with a TWTD Town Topic on the subject here.
