A group of Blues supporters are set to go to Dusseldorf in March, continuing a special friendship between Town and Fortuna Dusseldorf fans.
The fanbases of the two clubs have had a special link ever since Fortuna fans came over the Suffolk in 2006 for an Ipswich game.
On March 1, which also happens to be the FA Cup fifth round, Ipswich supporters intend to attend the Fortuna Dusseldorf vs. Greuther Fürth game at Merkur Spiel-Arena, where Town may be scheduled to play.
“Last year was fantastic – 160 Town fans went,” said Nathan Parris, the trip organizer.
“It’s an amazing moment.It’s amazing when town fans take over some of the bars.
“The trip next year is highly anticipated by everyone, and our group chat is buzzing with anticipation. Although it will be difficult to top last year’s vacation, we want to improve it this year.
“We have around 80 people so far, and that number is just going to keep going up.”
Mr Parris encouraged any interested Blues fans to get in touch via the Facebook page.
He added: “If you haven’t been on a trip previously, I would highly recommend it. It’s always a great weekend.”
Tickets are to be sorted through contacts over in Germany so all Town fans can sit together for the match, with people needing to book separate accommodation and travel, but recommendations are posted in the group chat once you register your interest.
Fortuna fans often come over for an Ipswich game every season in a show of mutual friendship between the clubs’ fanbases.
