Lap of Appreciation After Swansea Match - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed that the squad and staff will take part in the annual lap of appreciation after the Easter Monday game against Swansea City.

Usually the lap takes place following the final home match but that game is likely to be dominated by Leeds United’s battle for promotion to the Premier League.

Under-19s tickets for the visit by the Swans, who the Blues beat 3-2 at the Liberty Stadium in September, are on sale for only £1.

Meanwhile, the EFL have confirmed that Town’s first campaign in the third tier for 62 years will begin on or around Saturday 3rd August with the League One fixtures announced at 9am on Thursday 20th June.
