Town’s abandoned game against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park has been rescheduled for Tuesday 2nd December (KO 7.45pm).

The initial staging of the match was curtailed in the 80th minute with the pitch having become unplayable with the home side 1-0 in front and the Blues down to 10 men.

The EFL board subsequently decided that the game would be replayed in full, despite Rovers’ protestations that they should have been awarded the points or alternatively that the final 10 minutes should be played out.

Blackburn will be offering a 50 per cent discount on match tickets to those who attended the original staging with details on when they will released and how the discount can be redeemed announced by the club in due course.

Town have said they will also be providing supporters who attended the original game with a Planet Blue voucher worth 50 per cent of the value of their match ticket with the codes emailed out in the coming days. These can be redeemed prior to checking out at the online store.

Supporters who attended the original match will also keep their away priority point and will gain another if purchasing a ticket for the December restaging.

Town boss Kieran McKenna has confirmed that the Blues didn’t consider suggestions that they should give Blackburn a goal at the start of the new game or play any part of the match with 10 men.

The new date means the Blues will play seven matches in December, while the visit to Ewood Park is the third of three away games in eight days following the trips to Hull City the previous Tuesday and Oxford on the Friday.

Defender110 added 14:43 - Oct 9 AI generated, but I'm sure we can come up with something that is equally as funny to sing. "I'm Watching Ipswich Again" (to the tune of "I'm Singing in the Rain") I'm watching Ipswich again, Just watching Ipswich again, What a glorious feeling, To be watching Ipswich again! We were down one nil, The clouds dark above, The rain poured and splashed, Stopped the game that we love. The fans all complained, The opposition moaned out, "Let their lead stand!" Was heard in their shout. But the ref called time, Said the pitch was a lake, And the rain washed away That unlucky mistake! Now the blue and the white, Are ready to play, With the rain in the past, Bring on replay day! I'm watching Ipswich again, Just watching Ipswich again, What a glorious feeling, To be watching Ipswich again!

Swoody added 16:17 - Oct 9 It's pretty obvious they selected this date to make it a difficult time for us to play as possible smack bang in the middle of two other away games in the busiest month.

armchaircritic59 added 17:55 - Oct 9 Well it's all water under the bridge now :) Seriously, that is some December fixture line up. Home and away against Coventry and away at Leicester included. I think we'll have a very good idea of where we stand after that little lot!
