Work Starts on Cobbold Stand Mural - Ipswich Town News
Work has begun on the mural on the windows at the back of the Cobbold Stand paying tribute to the club's history and stars of the past.
Plans for the mural were announced in January 2020 but were interrupted by the pandemic.
The mural will cover milestones in the club's history and include players from across the generations with the first panes covered featuring John Elsworthy, Paul Cooper, Paul Mariner, Russell Osman, Frans Thijssen, Richard Wright, Titus Bramble and Luke Chambers.
The glass on the back of the Cobbold Stand had been among the areas of the ground which had fallen into disrepair in recent seasons with a plastic coating having become detached.
