Preston Match Moves - Ipswich Town News
Town's live Sky match at home to Preston on Monday, August 29th has been brought forward to a 12.15pm kick-off. When the game was first announced as a Sky match last week it was pencilled in for a 5.35pm start.
The only other Town game set for Sky coverage in the early stages of the season is the trip to Reading which will now be played on Sunday, 16th October (KO 1.30pm).
Town wanted the home derby with Norwich on Sunday, 18th September to be a live 5.35pm Sky game but police refused permission for the match to move to the early evening. The game will now kick-off at noon and will not be shown on live TV.
