Supporters of Ipswich Town will be able to listen to all the games featuring their club on the radio for the next three seasons, following a football marketing deal.

During the 2008/09 season, BBC Suffolk only covered away matches featuring the Championship side, but this is now to change.

According to the BBC, Ipswich Town chief executive Simon Clegg said: "It's a really exciting and dynamic time for the club at the moment.

"We have listened to a very clear message that we have got from the fans in terms of where they would like to see the commentary of this great team in years to come."

Meanwhile, fans who prefer to watch highlights of the games rather than listen to them on the radio can do so on the BBC, thanks to the signing of a new television deal.

A highlights show will be aired every week giving fans a chance to view the best of the action from across the whole of the Football League, while ten live Championship games will also be shown throughout the season.

Newcastle United, Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion are among the favourites to win the Championship next season after the three clubs were recently relegated from the English Premier League.
