Ipswich and Norwich fans raise money for foodbanks at derby

Ipswich and Norwich football fans put rivalries to one side during Saturday's match to raise thousands for foodbanks.

Some £4,790 was donated through collections or online during the 1-1 draw at Portman Road or online.

Town fans collected £3,033, while City supporters gave £1,757 to the Families in Need (FIND) charity.

In addition, the Norwich City store, On the Stall City, donated all its profits on derby day to the charity.

Ipswich Town supporters joined the national scheme Fans Supporting Foodbanks (FSF) in January.

Organiser, Charlie Nixon, said the initiative was about "looking beyond club colours" to stop people going hungry.
