Blackburn Trip Live on Sky - Ipswich Town News

Town’s final day of the season game at Blackburn Rovers has been confirmed as one of Saturday’s live Sky matches (Sky Sports 2 from midday, KO 12.15pm).

The currently fifth-placed Blues need just a point to confirm a place in the Championship play-offs for the first time in a decade but could lose and still make it as long as two of the results of the games involving Derby, Brentford and Wolves go in their favour.

Either Norwich, currently fourth, or Middlesbrough, who are third at present, await in the semi-finals.

The first legs will be played on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th May with the second games on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th May. Town, who can't finish higher than fifth, would be at home in the first leg whoever they play.

The sixth-placed Rams' final match at home to Reading is also being shown live by the satellite broadcaster with all the last day fixtures played simultaneously.

Town have sold almost 2,000 seats for the trip to Ewood Park with tickets available on the day.
