Town look set to break iFollow records on Sunday with Sky Sports confirming that the Blues’ final-day match at Fleetwood, which could see Kieran McKenna’s already-promoted side claim the League One title, won’t be shown live.

If Town secure more points at the Highbury Stadium than leaders Plymouth manage from their final match at Port Vale, then the Blues will be champions.

Sky have confirmed that they will be screening the play-off-place-deciding Barnsley-Peterborough and Sheffield Wednesday-Derby final-day fixtures.

The club are anticipating more than 10,000 fans watching the Fleetwood match on the iFollow Ipswich streaming service. Previously, Town sold more than 9,500 for the visit to Barnsley, the most sold by a club for an EFL match this season.

Town are yet to to confirm whether there will be a beam-back to Portman Road, which if it does go ahead will be in the FanZone rather than the main pitch where the Cambridge match was shown earlier in the season.

As reported earlier, work on this summer’s extensive pitch renovation is already under way.

The Fleetwood match will be Town’s last on iFollow with the Blues starting their own in-house TownTV service from the beginning of next season.

Orraman added 11:00 - May 3 Disappointed it's not on Sky as will now have to watch it on iFollow. I have no problem with iFollow as such as at least I get to see some away games but it is the absolute garbage commentary that spoils the whole experience. Sincerely hope that Town TV find someone better for next season, someone who can keep up with the game and as happened during Barnsley game spent several minutes discussing the merits of the goal scoring exploits of Devante Cole compared to his father Andrew Cole. How many of the 9500 iFollowers were interested in that?

Keefer added 13:41 - May 3 Orraman: Were you listening to the Town commentary or the Barnsley one? The Ipswich commentary has been excellent all season (except for technical issues beyond the control of the commentators).
