First Time Fans Initiative Revamped - Ipswich Town News
Town have enhanced their First Time Fans initiative, which is aimed at young supporters attending their first games at Portman Road.
The free scheme for fans aged under 14 was launched in February and has seen more than 300 first-time supporters receive a certificate commemorating their day signed by boss Paul Lambert and skipper Luke Chambers.
The revamp will see young fans additionally taken pitchside to take in views of Portman Road and have a photo with mascot Bluey, while their name will also be read out over the PA.
Town say the initiative is part of their commitment to engaging with young supporters along with Class of Blues, School of the Day, Junior Announcer, the Young Fans Forum and activities in the FanZone on matchdays.
