FA Cup winners and trophy back at Portman Road for Middlesbrough game on 40th anniversary of Wembley glory
Town’s final game of the season against Middlesbrough on Sunday, May 6 has been designated 78 Day at Portman Road.

A signing session with the Wembley heroes will take place in the FanZone in the morning, while the prestigious FA Cup trophy itself will also be at the Club on the day.
Supporters will be able to have their photo taken with the trophy in the FanZone, with all pictures downloadable at no cost from the Club’s Facebook account.
The 1978 players will also be introduced to the crowd on the pitch at half-time, with the FA Cup trophy again on show.
