Ipswich Town FC will stage an unprecedented six Suffolk FA County Cup Finals at Portman Road this season, writes Nick Garnham.
The most the club has previously accommodated in one season is four finals, which was the same number as were hosted last season.
In addition to the Premier Cup, CNet Training Senior Cup, Junior Cup and Primary Cup finals held last season, Portman Road will host the HomeStore Self Storage Women’s Cup and Under-18 Midweek Cup Finals.
Super Sunday, which has been held at AFC Sudbury and has featured three finals on the same day in each of the last two seasons, will this season take place at Needham Market FC.
