Strict Conditions for Town Fans at Norwich - Ipswich Town News
Town fans attending the East Anglian derby against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Sunday 10th February will be subject to a list of strict sales conditions outlined to them when they receive their tickets.
Those tickets, costing £40 for adults, which are sold one per customer number via the usual priority scheme, must be used by the supporter associated with that customer number, which is printed on the ticket along with their name.
Fans aged over 16 must take photographic ID to the match, to be shown to officials on request along with their ticket, which supporters are told they must keep on their person at all times, or risk ejection.
As has been the case in recent years, the match, which is being shown live on Sky Sports, kicks off at 12 noon but fans have been told to ensure they arrive "no later than 11.30am as the extensive safety checks will take time”.
While East Anglian derbies have been heavily policed and stewarded for some years, the conditions ahead of February’s game represent an escalation.
On Friday, five men are due to appear at Norwich Magistrates' Court, charged with offences relating to damage caused to the away end at last season’s Carrow Road derby where electrical cables and guttering were pulled down.

Oxford United 2-1 Ipswich Town - Match ReportTown’s six-game unbeaten run came to an end as they were beaten 2-1 by strugglers Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium.

The Blues toiled having gone behind but levelled through Leif Davis’s excellent volley eight minutes into the second half, however, Town were caught short of numbers at the back as the U’s countered in the 77th minute, Przemyslaw Placheta restoring their lead, and the Blues were unable to find a second equaliser in the latter stages.
