BBC Radio Suffolk has confirmed it has a signed a deal to broadcast live radio commentary on Town’s matches during the season ahead.

Brenner Woolley, who celebrated 20 years as the station’s commentator in February, will once again be be the man behind the mic with Blues legend Mick Mills alongside him for home matches.

“I can't wait to get going again,” Woolley said. “It's terrific to see Town back in the Championship and it's going to be fascinating to see how they get on.”

Radio Suffolk executive editor, Peter Cook, added: “I'm thrilled to have signed a new deal with the club, making us the only radio station who'll be broadcasting live commentaries on every kick of every Ipswich Town match.

“Last season was one to be remembered and we're hoping for more of the same this time, but whatever happens we'll be there side-by-side with the fans throughout.”

In addition to Radio Suffolk's commentary, which will be available on FM and DAB but not online, the club will be broadcasting its own via its new TownTV service.

Sports editor Graeme Mac will present a preview show every Friday between 6pm and 7pm joined by Woolley and another Blues legend John Wark.

Radio Suffolk is also launching “a new fanzine show”, Tractor Social, between 6pm and 7pm on Monday evenings presented by Connor Bennett.

DerbyBlue76 added 14:56 - Jul 25 This is bitter sweet news. I really love the BBC Suffolk commentary, and Brennar is fantastic, but as someone who lives out of the area it is impossible to hear them, and we are stuck with the fan commentary that the club provide. Such a waste when you have got professional coverage. One of the few big mistakes that the club have made in recent times
