Burton Visit Moves to Good Friday - Ipswich Town News
Town’s first ever competitive game at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium has switched to Good Friday, April 14th, with a 7.45pm kick-off, having originally been scheduled for the following afternoon.
The move is no surprise with the Blues in action at home to Newcastle United on Easter Monday and with manager Mick McCarthy having previously switched similarly scheduled games to Good Friday to give his players an additional day of recovery.
Town’s only previous game at the Pirelli Stadium was a 3-0 pre-season victory over the then-non-league Brewers in July 2007 with Matt Richards and Alan Lee (2, 1 pen) on the scoresheet.
The Blues’ full fixture list for the 2016/17 season can be found on TWTD here.
