Reserves 4-0 Forest Friday, 4th May 2001 17:45
Town s reserves redeemed themselves after Wednesday s 6-3 defeat to Charlton with a thoroughly professional win over Nottingham Forest. Town left out Gary Croft, Richard Naylor and Mark Burchill from Wednesday s team while Forst included Town old boy Tony Vaughan.
Town s first effort was an Abidallah shot saved bt Collis in the Forest goal. The Dutchman, who was playing up front with Richard Logan had another go a few minutes later but shot well over.
In the fifteenth minute Ashley Nicholls put Town one up. Richard Logan hit a shot which Collis couldn t hold and Nicholls was on hand for the rebound.

Another Norwegian Linked Friday, 4th May 2001 10:44
Town have been linked with Norwegian striker Thorstein Helstad from Brann Bergen. Apparently Town scouts watched the striker play against Stromsgodset on Wednesday (the same night as they are also reported to have watched Magne Hoseth play elsewhere in Norway) and if they were there they couldn t have failed to be impressed.
Helstad scored five goals as Brann won 6-2. He is a 24-year-old striker who has played six times for Norway. His previous clubs are fantastically listed as Fart and Ham Kam (who I am certainly going to look up).
Brann are apparently cash-strapped and would probably look to offload the player. Up to the Stromsgodset game Helstad had failed to score all season and his manager Teitur Thordarson was under pressure to drop him. Don t think he will now.

Suffolk soprano Laura Wright known for performances at the FA Cup final, British Grand Prix and Twickenham opened up to Suffolk students last week about singing at Portman Road for the first time.
The 30-year-old grew up in Framsden and attended Framlingham College, and has become a familiar face performing at some of the country s biggest sporting events.
One of her performances for Ipswich Town supporters was in September 2009, when she sang at the Ipswich vs Newcastle United league match where the North Stand was renamed as the Sir Bobby Robson Stand.
