Norwich Chief Quizzes Fans on Town Friendly - Ipswich Town News

Norwich City chief executive David McNally has sounded out Canaries supporters on whether they would like a pre-season friendly against Town if the profits were to go to their academy and a local charity. On Tuesday, TWTD revealed that the clubs were in advanced talks regarding a friendly at Carrow Road.

So far the feedback to McNally's tweet has been overwhelmingly against a revival of the pre-season games which used to take place regularly in years gone by.

The proposed fixture looks likely to take place on Sunday 28th July, a week before the start of the Championship and three weeks prior to the first Premier League game of the 2013/14 season.

Ok,would #ncfc fans like the club to play Ipswich in pre season. Any profit would go to the academy, & a donation to @sportinglight pls RT– david mcnally (@davidmcnally62) May 31, 2013
