Town have made facilities at Portman Road available to the NHS for free should they require them during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We have worked closely with the NHS for a number of years,” director of sales Rosie Richardson told the club site.

“We have suites, land, parking and other facilities that may be useful to them and if we can help in any way, we will.”

Speaking to TWTD earlier in the week, general manager of football operations Lee O'Neill said the Blues were looking into how they might help support the comunity during the crisis.

PortmanTerrorist added 09:12 - Mar 21 We may be a shambles on the pitch but the changes within the Club have been tangible in past year or 2. Having had direct interaction with Rosie, it is clear to me she is what our or any Ckub needs. Fantastic effort and hope all the team/management get recognised for this beyond a piece on the National news this morning. Well done Rosie and all at ITFC for this....at last we have something to feel proud about.
