Town have issued advice to fans making the trip to Norwich for the derby at Carrow Road on Sunday (KO 2.05pm). The Blues have been given 2,000 tickets for their visit to Norfolk, which will be shown live by Sky.
There will be no designated ‘away’ fans' pub at Norwich, the pub that has opened previously has decided that it does not wish to open on the day.
The Riverside Hotel opposite Ipswich station will be open from 9am, while the Wetherspoons pubs in town - The Cricketers, Golden Lion and Robert Ransome - also open early.
Coaches will be escorted from Ipswich by Suffolk police outriders, who will escort the coaches directly to their destination near Carrow Road and will need to co-ordinate their arrival with the special train.
All supporters are to be encouraged to go directly to the stadium, which will open at 12 noon, earlier than usual, so that people can get a drink/food from the visitors' section.
There will be no ‘bubble’ and supporters will walk freely from/to the coaches/trains/car parks to the stadium. However, there will be a large police presence to guide and protect fans along the way from the station and coach parks.
The special train will be departing Ipswich at 12.35pm, calling at Stowmarket only. It leaves Norwich at 4.20pm, again calling at only Stowmarket, which will only allow supporters approximately 20 minutes after the match to get back to the station. Obviously there will be normal service trains running which supporters could catch if required.
