Town Off To Holland in Pre-Season - Ipswich Town News
Chief executive Simon Clegg has revealed that the Blues’ pre-season tour will be in Holland this summer. Two games have been pencilled in for July.
Clegg told the club site: "We're very close to finalising details for two games in Holland in July.
"The opposition and dates have been confirmed and we should be able to make an announcement in the next week or so."
Last year Town lost 1-0 to PSV in their only overseas game with two other Dutch fixtures falling through, one against the Blues’ 1981 UEFA Cup final opponents AZ Alkmaar, who, given that this year is the 30th anniversary of that encounter, may well in the frame for this summer's trip.
