Went to book train tickets and seems you have to go via Billericay for some reason. There's no direct service from Lpool Street to Ipswich on that day!

There are no planned engineering works showing for that day as far as I can tell. So I'm holding fire, as the advance tickets aren't even on sale yet from what I can see & certainly not at a cheap rate.
2011/12 advance prices in The Cobbold Stand end tier (where away fans go) were :-
Cat C £30 Cat B £31 Cat A £34
So it depends what Cat we are. I'd say A or B & then we'll have to see. But I'd say £35 max. There are only 1900 places so they can afford to push up the prices.
Checked on National Rail Enquiries. You have to go Liverpool to Billericay by train then bus to Witham and then train to Ipswich, takes just short of two hours...sod that.

A tad inconvenient but only adds about 40 minutes to the journey by train.
With a YP railcard I got : 10-58 lpool street to Cambridge 12-08 19-04 cambridge to lpool street 20-13 this was £12-55 for a return then 12-43 Cambridge to Ipswich 14-00 17-19 Ipswich to Cambridge 18-39 this was £10-50 for a return. hope that helps se9, £33 sounds about right without a railcard
Cool, cheers. Trying to decide between this and Forrest for my September away game, things are pretty tight financially right now I reckon all in all this one may work out quite a bit more (when match tickets are taken into account)

3 hours jeez. It's normally just over an hour & even busing it from Billericy to Witham it still only takes 2 hours. I reckon adult prices will reduce to 2x£8 singles = £16 or about £11 if you have a YP railcard. If I went by train, bearing in mind the above I would still not go via Cambridge. Sorry Alexander.
Going to this. My old ops manager at work is a Ipswich fan. Told him i'd meet up for a few beers, looking forward to it as i haven't done there ground yet
Lived in Ipswich for seven years during their glory days. Now my son is a Town supporter and coming back from Melbourne to see the boxing day match. My Town gurus tell me that they have a weak squad but time will tell.

Abellio who now run the service have agreed to reduce the number of weekend shutdowns and as noted above their site shows normal service,
Might be worth a phone call to confirm
Tickets at the moment only available up to 8/9
Now have to decide between this and a weekend in Glasgow for Burns v Mitchell.
Gutted I can't go to that match being one of my local games as I'm on holiday. Also missing the Palace match. Bad timing.

Billericay - Witham isnt that bad a journey but then again who wants to be a bus w*nker :)
