Free Travel to Sheffield - Ipswich Town News
The club and Powergen are set to fund six suppoters' coaches for the rearranged Friday night game at Sheffield United on April 30th.
Cheif executive Derek Bowden says the move is a tribute to those who have watched the Blues on their travels this season: "Our away support this year has been absolutely fantastic and so we wanted to make a gesture of thanks to those fans who week-in, week-out support the club across the land.
"It seemed appropriate to us, especially now that our last away league match has been brought forward from Saturday afternoon to Friday night, to offer free transport to supporters travelling by coach.
"To this end, and with Powergen's generous support, we will provide six coaches free of charge for travelling fans.
"Those supporters, who have already purchased coach travel to Sheffield United from us, will receive a rebate from the club."
The Sheffield United game has moved so it can be covered by Sky TV.
