New Issue of TWTD Out - Ipswich Town News

Issue 72 of TWTD goes on sale this weekend at the Forest match. The star of this issue is boy wonder striker Dean Bowditch. The 17-year-old talks about his gift for the dramatic and the possibility of a testimonial at the age of 19, as well as comparing his experiences with Town to those of his brother Ben at Tottenham.

Elsewhere, Gavin Barber has looked into the mind of programme columnist Trevor Putney, while there are articles on the recent share issue, the academy, the 1967 split in the Ipswich Town Supporters' Association and the annual TWTD questionnaire.

Our sellers will be positioned around the ground as well as our usual spot next to Sir Alf's statue. If you are unable to make the game you can buy a subscription for six issues with prices starting at £6. Visit www.twtdonline.co.uk for more details.
