Pullen and Painter on Life's a Pitch - Ipswich Town News
Life’s a Pitch is live on BBC Radio Suffolk from the FanZone at lunchtime on Saturday with Blues kitman and former keeper James Pullen and Town-supporting darts star Kevin Painter joining regulars Mark Murphy, legend-in-residence Kevin Beattie, New Tractorboy and TWTD's Phil Ham (12-2pm).
Pullen is calling on fans to stage a minute’s applause in the 67th minute of Saturday’s game in tribute to his friend and colleague Dick Parker, who died suddenly last weekend.
Painter will be looking ahead to his first round match at the 2018 PDC World Darts Championship against Mensur Suljovic on Monday evening (7pm). The 50-year-old will be taking part in his 24th world championships, his 17th staged by the PDC.
