WITCHES TO MARK 75 YEARS
IPSWICH have announced plans to celebrate the club’s 75th anniversary at their home clash with Leicester next week (Thursday August 20).
The Witches staged their first fixture in 1951 and representatives of all five of their top-flight title winning sides from 1975, 1976, 1984, 1998 and 2025 will be present at Foxhall.
A collection of club race jackets and kevlars from through the years will be on display as well as vintage speedway bikes – whilst current team manager Paul Hurry will compete in a unique second half on upright machines.
Chairman Richard Coleman said: “It’s an honour to be leading the club into its 75th anniversary season along with Andrew Chisholm and Paul Hurry, and we were keen to do something alongside one of our summer fixtures to mark the occasion.
“We look forward to seeing our Ipswich legends back at Foxhall for this special night and we are working on inviting many more.
“The sight and sound of the vintage bikes is sure to excite fans of every era, and this will definitely offer a very unique second half. I can’t wait to see Paul taking a few laps.”
