Ipswich turns blue and white ahead of big match

Blue and white has been splashed across Ipswich town centre, with the Tractor Boys just one match away from promotion to football's top flight.

Shops across the town got in on the act after Ipswich Central called on them to show their support.

A department store put various items in the shop window and hats and shirts appeared on mannequins, as Ipswich prepared for their final Championship match on Saturday.

Kieran McKenna's team must avoid defeat when they entertain Huddersfield to secure promotion.

Ipswich Central chair and Ipswich fan, Terry Baxter, said: "It's been a truly incredible season for Ipswich Town Football Club.

"The whole town and wider county can, and should be, rightly proud of everything that Kieran McKenna and his team has achieved.

"With the potential for back-to-back promotion firmly in our sights, the whole team really are showing a passion and drive that is inspirational."

Leicester were crowned champions on Monday, but just one point would see Ipswich join them in the Premier League - or they could face the dreaded play-offs.

Town kick-off against Huddersfield at Portman Road at 12:30 BST.
