Town CEO Mark Ashton is appearing on Hospital Radio Ipswich this evening, speaking about the history and heritage of the club and his passion for taking the Blues forward (7pm-8pm).

In a wide-ranging interview with Hospital Radio Ipswich matchday commentator Simon Bartlett, Ashton talks about his decision to come to Portman Road, his ambitions for the Blues and his relationship with chairman Mike O’Leary, as well as the highlights of the season so far.

The interview can be heard via hri.org.uk or ask your smart speaker to play Hospital Radio Ipswich. If you’re a patient at Ipswich Hospital it is available on Bedside Channel 1 of your Hospedia set.

Hospital Radio Ipswich has been supplying matchday coverage of Ipswich Town since 1971, longer than any other broadcaster.

midastouch added 11:23 - Nov 16 Sounds good, I'll give that listen. And I never knew about Hospital Radio providing the match coverage. That's a great idea. Although if I was on the cardiac ward it might be enough to finish me off! :-)

BLUEBEAT added 11:34 - Nov 16 Weird that it isn't being broadcast 6.45pm-7.45pm so listeners don't have to miss the first 15 minutes of tonight's match…

Cakeman added 12:19 - Nov 16 It's really nice to see the effort now being put in by our hierarchy to reach the local public. Well done Mark Ashton. Irrespective of what's happening on the field we are doing much much better off it for sure.
