Sheepshanks Relieved - Ipswich Town News

Town chairman David Sheepshanks has said he is relieved at Norwich City's failure in Sunday's play-off final. However, Sheepshanks said he did have some sympathy with Town's rivals.

The chairman said: "It would have rubbed salt into our wounds. I know it's Norwich, but I have to feel for them.

"I always feel for losers in any play- off final, especially if it is on penalties as it was down in Wales yesterday."
