Charlton Athletic have confirmed that their visit to Portman Road has moved from Sunday 28th December to Tuesday 30th December, kicking-off at 7.45pm.
The switch means Town now have an unusually high seven evening Championship home games this season, eight including the Fulham match on the opening Saturday, which kicks-off at 5.15pm for Sky coverage, in addition to a further four away from Portman Road.
As reported yesterday, the Blues are keen to avoid playing two games in three days, as they did at Easter during 2013/14, and the home game against AFC Bournemouth could be brought forward a day to Good Friday from Saturday 4th April.
Confirmation that the home derby will move to Sunday 24th August is expected early next week, while Town’s Friday 26th December game at Brentford could switch to a 1pm kick-off, as has been the case with Bees’ Boxing Day games in the past.
