Ipswich Town are to introduce a dedicated singing section in the stands at Portman Road next season, in a bid to boost the atmosphere during home games.

Some of the most vocal Town supporters will be encouraged to take up seats in Block A of the Cobbold Stand.

A 'singing section' was previously trialled for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Burley in January, with club bosses deeming it enough of a success to bring back for the 2023/24 season.

In a statement posted online, the club said: "The designated area will house vocal supporters who are keen to play a leading role in both generating, and maintaining, a positive atmosphere during matches."

"The area is also designed to complement the lower tier of the Sir Bobby Robson North Stand in particular, with this recognised as the most vocal section of the stadium on matchdays.

"Supporters should note that the Singing Section will include drumming and flag waving, along with occasional fan-led displays."
