Ghoul Action at Portman Road - Ipswich Town News

There’ll be ghoul action as well as goal action at Portman Road on Saturday with children being encouraged to attend the match against Millwall in Halloween costume.

The best-dressed youngster will be picked from the crowd during the first half and will get the chance to take a half-time ‘pumpkin penalty’ against npower’s Wasteful Energy Witch.

Those taking part should make sure their costumes are easily spotted by ghost hunters who will be scanning the terraces during the opening 45 minutes.

Anyone scoring from the spot will receive a Wallace and Gromit-themed energy pack for their school from Football League sponsor npower, who are backing similar events across the country, to ward off the demons of energy inefficiency, and a bumper pack of goodies from Ipswich Town.

Sue Heritage from npower said: "We’re looking forward to seeing young fans from all teams, showing true community spirit to win prizes for their school in this fun and spook-filled day.”

Those not at a match this weekend can make their own unique energy efficient npower pumpkin on their Wallace and Gromit-themed website here.
