New Turnstile Blues On Sale Saturday - Ipswich Town News
The 18th issue of Town fanzine Turnstile Blues will be on sale at Portman Road this Saturday.
The new issue is dedicated to Kevin Beattie, and features a variety of tributes to the Beat from a wide range of Town fans, including David Dymond of the Blue Monday podcast and Graham Blackburn from The Naked Football Show.
Memories of Beattie and Bobby Robson are also included in a lengthy interview with Anglia TV legend Gerry Harrison, who shares a vast array of stories from his days covering the Blues during Town's glory years.
There are also some reflections on Town's start to the season under Paul Hurst, and a reminder that other managers have found things tough when they first take on the job.
There are also some observations on Hurst's pre-season comments about Tom Adeyemi, and analysis of whether Huddersfield Town's success provides any kind of blueprint for getting promoted from the Championship.
TB18, priced £1 will be on sale from around the ground - most sellers will be located near to Sir Alf Ramsey's statue - from around 2.15pm on Saturday. If you can't make it to the game you can buy a copy from eBay.

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.
