Osman's Evening With South West Branch Raises £400 for Beattie Statue - Ipswich Town News
The South West Branch of the Supporters Club’s evening with Blues legend Russell Osman last Friday raised £400 for The Beat Goes On, the campaign to build a statue of Kevin Beattie, which has now passed the £18,000 mark.
Ex-Town and England central defender Osman answered questions from South West-based Blues at Horts in Bristol.
Led by the EADT and Ipswich Star in conjunction with BBC Radio Suffolk and TWTD, The Beat Goes On was launched last month with the total now having reached £18,594. The target is £110,000 for the statue, which will become the third at Portman Road, and additional associated costs.
Donations can be made online via the Go Fund Me page or send a cheque made payable to ‘The Beat Goes On’ to Kevin Beattie Statue Appeal, EADT, Portman House, 120 Princes Street, Ipswich, IP11RS.
There are also collection buckets at reception at the EADT’s offices and at BBC Radio Suffolk.
