Brighton's Visit Memorial Matchday - Ipswich Town News
Town have announced that this season’s Memorial Matchday will take place on Thursday 16th January when the Blues take on Brighton & Hove Albion at Portman Road (KO 7.30pm).
The club will remember those supporters, ex-players and staff who sadly passed away during 2024 with a period of applause prior to kick-off.
In addition, there will be a dedicated page in the programme, as well as a video posted on the club’s social media channels and website on the day of the game.
Supporters who would like to remember a member of the Blue Army should email the person’s full name and an image to seb.norton@itfc.co.uk.
Town introduced the Memorial Matchday in 2021 and it now takes place at the first home fixture of every new year.
