History
I bet you didn’t know there’s a European trophy at Ipswich Town! In fact, if you’re pretty new to this English football thing, you might not know Ipswich Town even exists—because they haven’t been relevant for a while.

Going to a Game at Ipswich Town
It’s a 10-minute walk from the main rail station. You can go from Liverpool Street Station in London to the Portman Road turnstiles in about 90 minutes.
