Town Launch Portman Road Fanzone - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced the launch of a new matchday Fanzone at weekend games at Portman Road with free entry for all home supporters, featuring bars, live music, food and a kids' area.

The Fanzone will be situated on the FieldTurf behind the East of England Co-operative Stand and will be open to season ticket holders, those with match tickets and club members from three hours before kick-off.

The Blue Inn marquee will host bars with a range of beers, while live matches will be shown on giant screens.

There will also be food outlets, live music and for youngsters bouncy castles and other activities.

"It’s an exciting venture,” said Town MD, Ian Milne. "We are hoping that the Fanzone will be a place that Town fans will meet up before kick-off and enjoy that pre-match build-up and buzz you get in the lead up to the game.”

The Fanzone will be open for the first game of the new season, against Barnsley on Saturday 6th August, with a number of Town legends set to attend.

Entry will be via Gate 1A from midday with last orders at the bars at 2.30pm. All supporters must exit the Fanzone through Gate 1A and head to their regular turnstiles in order to enter the stands. More details on the club site.
