Signing and Photo Session Kicks-Off Open Day - Ipswich Town News
Town’s open day at Portman Road this Thursday will take a slightly different format from previous years with the signing and photo session with the players kicking off the event at 10am (gates open 9.30am).
In past seasons the players and staff have signed autographs and posed for photos with fans after their training session on the main pitch, but this year the two have been swapped around.
Having signed autographs and had their photos taken from 10am until 11am the squad will be put through their paces by manager Mick McCarthy, his assistant Terry Connor and fitness coach Andy Liddell from 11.30am.
The free event, which was attended by more than 8,000 fans last year, also features a host of activities on the FieldTurf behind the East of England Co-operative Stand and runs until 2pm.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
