Newcastle Game Live on the BBC - Ipswich Town News

Town's home game with Newcastle United on Saturday 26th September has been selected for live coverage by the BBC. The BBC will show 10 Championship games during the season under a new deal.

The match will now kick-off at 5.30pm. The BBC is yet to decide on which channel the game will be shown, but all their live Championship matches will also appear live on the BBC's website, although only for those in the UK.

Town's match at Coventry has already switched to Sunday 9th August with a 12.45pm kick-off for live Sky coverage.

Further to the earlier reports, Paul Hartley and Roy Keane didn't play together at Celtic contrary to widespread reports.

Additionally to the story mentioning changes to the Town management staff, while Bryan Klug and Steve McCall are unlikely to be included on pre-season trips, it might be notable that Steve Foley and Simon Thadani were not on the list of management staff travelling to Finn Harps for next Tuesday's friendly.
