Want to Play at Portman Road? - Ipswich Town News
Town are after players for this year’s Portman Cup in which fans are given the opportunity to grace the hallowed Portman Road turf.
This year’s game takes place on Friday 20th May and offers supporters the chance to be part of a team playing a 90-minute match managed by a Town legend.
Last year’s game was cancelled due to scheduling issues, but the summer of 2014 saw a team led by Alan Lee thrash Bryan Hamilton’s side 9-2.
As well as the opportunity to grace the Portman Road turf, the day includes use of the dressing rooms and dugouts, personalised kit, award presentations, a post-match meal for you and a guest, a commemorative DVD and a photo CD.
If you’re interested in taking part in the Portman Cup, which costs £250 + VAT per person, or want more information, call Town’s sales team on 01473 400594 or email sales@itfc.co.uk.
