Town’s annual Open Day takes place at Portman Road this Thursday.

Manager Paul Hurst and the squad will sign autographs and pose for photos with fans for an hour from 9.45am, gates having opened at 9.30am. Early arrival is recommended with more than 2,000 fans getting their chance to meet the players last year.

The squad will then be put through their paces by the new management team in a training session on the main Portman Road pitch.

In addition, there will be plenty of attractions available in the FanZone including inflatables, Go Ape - Segways, tennis with the Elena Baltacha Foundation, golf with Seckford Golf Club, sand arts, face painting, the opportunity to ‘drive’ a fire engine and a double decker bus and more.""

Bluey and Crazee will take part in the mascot race on the main pitch and there will be plenty of food and refreshments available.

“It’s always a popular day at the club and the chance for supporters to come down and meet the players and also take part in the fun activities,” Town MD Ian Milne told the official website.

Why only an hour and is there a ridiculous scheme like last year where the kids can only get autographs of a group of players? Why not have the training first and then have one long table with all the players available and if it takes all afternoon it takes all afternoon? What have the players got to do in the afternoon it is that important they can't stay until every autograph is signed?
