Reserve Match Switch - Ipswich Town News
The reserve game at home to West Ham next Tuesday has been switched back to Portman Road from Needham Market's Bloomfields (KO 7pm). The Blues are concerned at the state of the pitch at the Ridgeons League club.
Town still plan to play the matches with Coventry (February 1st) and Crystal Palace (February 15th) at Bloomfields but those matches could also be switched. The Blues hoped to play four matches at Needham to protect the Portman Road pitch during the winter months.
The reserve match with Tottenham, at Stevenage Borough's Broadhall Way, will now take place on Tuesday, 28th March.
