The game and the boxing both have to be policed and surely it's stretching it bit to have 80,000 fight fans potentially mixing it up with idiot Millwall fans in town after the game? :?

What about idiot boxing fans pissed up during day before fight? At least with footy fans can have degree of control as generally come together! And dont need to go through town to get to stadium? Besides the two are about 5hrs apart! Also can have game as ticket only for milwall fans with coach only travel? :old:

Given that our game was scheduled as far back as June shouldn't it be the Joshua fight that is rescheduled.

There was an opportunity there to sell some tickets to boxing fans. Make a whole weekend of sport for them.

Package deals.... hotel, hospitality and ticket for boxing and football.

Or hospitality and football ticket then watch the game live at Cardiff City stadium.

Play the game a day before against Millwall on a Friday night.

The team get an extra day's rest prior to the Ipswich game.

Hopefully Millwall fans will stick around for the boxing on a Saturday, in some capacity.
