Players and Staff Calling Elderly Fans - Ipswich Town News

Skipper Luke Chambers, other members of the squad and staff are phoning elderly season ticket holders to check how they are during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Government has advised over-70s to avoid all social contact and self-isolate for up to four months during the crisis.

An account of a call Chambers made earlier today to a fan in his eighties was posted on Twitter with the Blues captain pledging to check on him again in a couple of weeks.

Other players and members of staff are also making calls to season ticket holders aged over 70.

Great work from @IpswichTown and club captain Luke Chambers. #Proud. @itfcsouthwest pic.twitter.com/cNKgTvN5gv– Jim Robbins (@jimrobbins) March 28, 2020
