Jim off on early kick-off
Jim Magilton is not happy that Wigan's match at Preston will kick-off nearly three hours before Town take on Crewe at Portman Road on Saturday.
The Latics' Lancashire derby at Deepdale starts at 12.15pm to fit in with Sky TV's schedule.
Town take on the Railwaymen at 3.00pm and Jim feels strongly that both games should be kicking-off at the same time.
"It's too close to the end of the season to be mucking about with kick-off times," the Town skipper told the Club website.
"There are so many permutations, both at the top, the bottom and the Play-Offs that it would be fairer to everyone to keep all games at the same time at this stage of the season.

Jim - anger at kick-off times |
"I'm not sure I want to know the result of the Wigan game but I'm sure we will by the time we go out to play.
"Knowing the result from there could effect some players but it's important that we remain focussed on what we have to do and that's beat Crewe.
"If we win on Saturday, it's going to go to the final day of the season whatever happens with Wigan."
All four teams involved in the two games have something at stake with Wigan two points clear of Town in second place, Preston still not assured of a Play-Off place and Crewe involved in a fiercely contested relegation battle.
