Norwich Derby Sells Out - Ipswich Town News
Town’s East Anglian Derby against Norwich City at Portman Road on Saturday 16th December has sold out.
Matchday tickets for the 12.30pm live-on-Sky game went on sale on Monday to Super Blues members who had attended three or more home league games since the beginning of last season.
Season ticket holders with memberships were then able to buy seats this morning and they quickly sold out. The Canaries have sold out their 2,000-seat allocation.
The Blues will be looking to beat their local rivals, who are currently 14th in the Championship, for the first time since 2009.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
