Town Hoping for Highest Attendance - Ipswich Town News

Town are hoping the Kids for a Quid promotion being run ahead of Saturday’s home game against Leicester City will lead to Portman Road's highest attendance of the season so far.

The recent 1-1 draw with Barnsley was watched by a crowd of 18,361 but the Blues expect to surpass that with the Foxes, who currently sit second in the table, bringing more than 1,000 fans.

All under-16s can attend Saturday’s game for £1 with full details on the club site.

Leicester will be without suspended winger Anthony Knockaert, while defender Sean St Ledger, a one-time Town target, is out with a groin injury.

Young striker Tom Hopper will miss out with a stress fracture, while Foxes full-back Ritchie De Laet is back in light training but is unlikely to feature against the Blues.

Meanwhile, Town say they have sold 2,035 tickets for next week's game at Charlton with 285 remaining and the Addicks confirming that more will be made available if required. To buy a seat, visit ITFC Direct.
