FanZone Mural to Pay Tribute to Season Ticket Holders - Ipswich Town News

Town will pay tribute to the near-9,000 who bought season tickets for the 2020/21 season in the FanZone during the campaign ahead.

The names of all those who purchased seats ahead of a season which was always expected to be impacted by the Covid pandemic will appear on a mural to be created as a thank-you by the club. The mural will stand where the giant team group is currently sited.

Only a small number of fans were able to go to any games at all during 2020/21 with 2,000 season ticket holders selected via a ballot having been at the Burton and Portsmouth matches with all other fixtures behind closed doors.

Last week, Town issued a revised compensation plan for 2020/21 season ticket holders.

Meanwhile, the Blues say it’s unlikely the FanZone will open for this summer’s European Championship fixtures.

The FanZone has become a popular venue for fans for England’s games at recent summer tournaments.
