Other key dates for the diary include the final day of the season on Sunday, May 5 and the Championship play-off final which is set for Monday, May 27.

Ipswich begin their pre-season schedule with a trip to Braintree on Saturday, July 14, with the traditional trip to Ireland already pencilled in prior to that.

New manager Paul Hurst is hoping to make changes to that trip, however, with the Blues boss hoping to take his players to sunnier climbs as a new era begins.
