Tune for the Town? - Ipswich Town News
Town are offering fans the chance to definitively vote on whether goal celebration music will be played at Portman Road, and if so which tune will ring around the stands.
Some of the tracks up for the vote are the ones supplied to the Supporters’ Club when they asked for original tunes last season, while the new version of Singing the Blues played at the Southampton game, The Fratellis’ Chelsea Dagger and the options of none of the above or no music at all are also on the list.
To hear all the choices and to vote, visit the club site with the results to be announced prior to the Coventry City match on Monday 19th September.
Meanwhile, fans will be given the chance to celebrate their own Portman Road goals via an auction to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and Breakthrough Breast Cancer later in the year.
Bidders will be able to win a place in the teams for the match and training sessions under the guidance of Town stars from Robson’s era, while there will also be the opportunity to be a ‘club owner’ and sit in the directors’ box and make use of the boardroom facilities. Sir Bobby’s Breakthrough Auction will take place in October.
