General manager of football operations Lee O’Neill, departing MD Ian Milne, keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman and the Fortuna Blues will be joining the regulars - host Mark Murphy, Blues legend Terry Butcher, Tractorboy and TWTD’s Phil Ham - on BBC Radio Suffolk's Life’s a Pitch, which is live from the FanZone on Saturday between midday and 2pm.
O’Neill and Milne will be talking about the latest developments off the field at Portman Road with the latter set to stand down at the end of the month after six years in the role.
Legendary keyboardist Wakeman will be a guest of the club at the game, while the Fortuna Blues are making their annual pilgrimage to Suffolk.
There will also be a collection bucket for donations to the Kevin Beattie statue fundraising campaign.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
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.
