Estimates put the possible gate at around 25,000, so if you are going to the game, you are advised to arrive early.
ACL'S David McAtamney, Traffic and Logistics Manager at the Ricoh Arena told the club website: "There is no train service running on Boxing Day, while bus operators are offering a limited service. "One of the main bus routes used to get to the Ricoh Arena, the 101 from Pool Meadow, is also not running which is the reason why we decided put on the coach service.
"Football matches on Boxing Day attract larger crowds than normal and we expect the Ipswich game to be no different. "But we are anxious that everyone gets to and from the ground as quickly and easily as possible and hopefully the extra coach services will help us achieve that aim."
