TOWN FANS were in confident mood ahead of today's derby clash with Norwich City.

Thousands of Blues supporters marched on Portman Road before the teams went head to head in one of the most important fixtures of the year.

Both clubs are looking for three points as Ipswich vie for a play off spot and the chance of promotion to the Premier League.

Norwich meanwhile are still not safe from the drop with three games to go after today.

The teams shared the points at Carrow Road in a hard fought 2-2 draw but both sets of supporters were in no doubt that their teams would win this afternoon.

Among the more hopeful predictions was a 3-0 Ipswich win with Danny Haynes to get on the score sheet.

The Canaries faithful arrived at the game under strong police guard but the pre-match banter was mostly friendly and passed without any real hostility.
