Town have announced that seats prices for the Worthington Cup home leg with Crewe Alexandra will be reduced. This is consistent with Town's policy of the last few years when playing less attractive sides in this increasingly underwhelming competition. The game will be played on Tuesday 21st September at 7.45pm. Prices are £12 and £10 for adults, £4 and £3 for juniors with concessions priced at £7. Tickets will be on sale from 6th September. David Sheepshanks said: "We have taken the decision to hold the discounted prices for this match to encourage as many supporters as possible to enjoy Cup football at Portman Road. This is a very important competition for us and we hope to gather as much support in numbers as possible - we all know that the ultimate prize of Final at Wembley is great not only for the players but most especially our fans."
