Town Confirm Tour - Ipswich Town News

Town have now confirmed that their pre-season tour is as reported here early last month. Finnish sources reported the dates and the clubs were selling tickets, but Town repeatedly denied that any decision had been made.

TWTD spoke to the Managing Director of Vaasan Palloseura, one of the clubs involved last week, and he said he was convinced that the tour had been fixed up and so it seems it has.

The dates are: Tampere United on 18th July, Vaasan Palloseura on the 20th before flying to Tallinn, Estonia. FC Flora are the opponents on 22nd July with the team flying back on the 23rd.
