Portman Road

Away fans are in the Cobbold Stand along the side of the pitch. VU1, VU2 and VU3 in the upper tier are safe standing, with VL and VA seated. Buy in the seated blocks if you can't stand for long stretches, and note there's no lift to the upper tier. Turnstiles open 90 minutes before a daytime kick-off and 75 minutes before an evening one. The away ticket collection window is right by them.

No bag bigger than A4 (100 x 200 x 300mm) gets into Portman Road, and there's nowhere at the ground to leave anything larger.

Checked 11 Sept 2026 against Ipswich Town visiting fans guide 2026/27.

Ipswich station is just under a 10-minute walk to Portman Road. Two routes in: London Liverpool Street, two or three Greater Anglia trains an hour, or Peterborough, which is hourly, at most four coaches long and gets rammed, with limited options after the game and none after an evening one. Coming back to London after a night match the trains are usually 22:23 and 22:43. Away coaches park on West End Road, five minutes out. The club suggest allowing an extra hour, engineering works hit this line often at weekends, and there are ticket barriers at both Liverpool Street and Ipswich.
