With Saturday’s opening fixture of the season being shown live on TV in the UK and abroad, Town fans across the country and around the globe will be meeting up in pubs and bars to watch the game (Sky Sports 1/HD1, KO 5.15pm).
The Northern Ireland Branch of the Supporters Club are meeting up in the Basement Bar in Belfast (no colours permitted in city centre bars if you’re planning to join them), while two venues have been organised by the South-West Branch.
