Praise for Portman Road - Ipswich Town News

Town's disabled facilities have received praise from the FA as they prepare for Portman Road's first ever full England international.

Disabled supporters can now watch games from one of 10 viewing points which are able to accommodate around 300 fans.

Warner Duff, the secretary of the ITFC Disabled Supporters' Club, has been liasing with the FA over the match and says that they have been impressed with Town's facilities.
Club customer service manager Richard Powell says the Blues have seen an increase in the number of disabled season tickets holders but that the number could increase: "There are still spaces available both for season tickets and on a match by match basis. Anyone interested can contact Warner Duff on 01473 404861 for details."
