2000 Confirmed for Sweden - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed that Helsingborgs will be giving the Blues 2,000 seats for the away leg of the UEFA Cup game. Earlier in the week the Swedes announced their intention to give Town well above the 5% which UEFA rules stipulate they must give to the travelling side.

Town's priority system will be the usual one: Away Match Passport holders, Portman Plus Gold Card holders then Portman Plus and Blues Crew members and season ticket holders with any remaining seats going on sale to the general public.

There will be three different prices for tickets and the club will again be running official trips. Details on these and the dates when tickets will be available will be announced soon.

Former Town keeper Craig Forrest returns to Portman Road tonight to play for West Ham's reserves. The ex-Town keeper made over 300 appearances for Town before joining West Ham for £500,000 in the summer of 1997.

Also playing for West Ham are likely to be Paul Kitson and Hayden Foxe in what is a fairly young looking side.

The home side had been the better side in the first half, albeit with the visitors having two of the period’s three best chances, but the Blues fell apart in the second after Sonny Carey had given the Addicks the lead on 52 with Macaulay Gillesphey and Miles Leaburn adding goals on 55 and 64 to inflict the Town’s first Portman Road defeat of the season and their biggest Championship loss on their own turf since the 4-0 loss to Aston Villa more than seven years ago.
