Town manager Roy Keane says he hopes to be given the cash from the sale of Jon Walters to strengthen his squad. The Blues sold the 26-year-old to Stoke City for a fee of £2.75 million rising to £3.25 million on appearances on Wednesday.

Suffolk’s Olympians and torch bearers will be introduced to a Portman Road crowd expected to be around the 20,000 mark prior to Saturday’s home game against Blackburn.

Blues boss Paul Jewell has admitted that he’s had a thoroughly frustrating time in the transfer market this summer. Despite adding four players to his squad and having another bid provisionally accepted by a Premier League club, the Town manager says “everything that could have gone wrong in the transfer market has gone wrong” as he has sought to strengthen ahead of a 2012/13 season which starts with tonight’s Capital One Cup tie at home to Bristol Rovers (KO 7.45pm).

In response to complaints after a number of incidents involving a small group of fans during Town’s pre-season games, the Supporters’ Club, via chair Elizabeth Edwards’s column in tomorrow’s programme, are calling on those involved to “grow up or stay away”.

Chief executive Simon Clegg says the transfer market is likely to spring into life now that the season has started. Town are targeting two signings by the middle of this week, while Clegg confirmed that there is more than one club chasing Blues skipper Jon Walters.

Chief executive Simon Clegg says he will look at the pricing of Town’s pre-season friendlies in the wake of the disappointing 5,770 attendance at last week’s 1-0 defeat to a Spurs XI. A number of TWTD posters were unhappy at paying £15 to watch what was essentially a reserves fixture with neither side fielding more than a handful of first team regulars.

Boss Roy Keane says the Blues are getting nearer to completing the signing of Sunderland keeper Márton Fülöp. Town are believed to have agreed a £750,000 fee with the Black Cats with negotiations regarding the player’s contract and settling his current Sunderland terms having continued throughout last week.
