Ipswich Town, external midfielder Tom Adeyemi says he's edging closer to full match fitness after finally making his Championship debut for the club last weekend.

The 25-year-old, who has been affected by illness and injury since arriving at Portman Road in July, then played for the Under-23s against Barnsley on Monday night.

"In an ideal world I would've had a full pre-season but I've worked really hard with the physios, so I feel like I'm in as good a place as I could've been.

"While the Under-23 games are good, you can't really compare the intensity to a first-team game, but I'm sure adrenaline will get me through the first couple of games."

Town are back in action on Saturday, at home to Bolton Wanderers.

It's hoped Our Blue Heaven - the story of the cup run through the memories of Town fans - will take to the New Wolsey Theatre stage next May.

The theatre's artistic director, Peter Rowe, said: "2018 will mark 40 years since Ipswich Town's historic FA Cup victory – a moment when Ipswich united to celebrate success as the underdog became victorious.

"The production is planned to open at the theatre exactly 40 years on from the Wembley final and will really be a show drawn from the local community, for the local community."

The 1978 FA Cup final took place on 6 May at Wembley where the Tractor Boy underdogs - having been beaten 6-1 by Aston Villa the week before - beat Arsenal 1-0, with the winning goal struck by local boy and midfielder Roger Osborne.

It remains Ipswich Town's only FA Cup triumph to date and they have not appeared in the final since.

The plans have provoked reaction on the BBC East of England Facebook, external page.

Ben Connelly said: "The dual carriageway sounds good to me, it's much needed. We really should have dual carriageway between Suffolk's two biggest towns."

And Stuart Arlow agreed, saying: "For goodness sake it HAS to be a dual carriageway! No brainer!"

But John Burroughs said: "Why bother with a dual when it's mainly 30 & 40 mph restrictions between Lowestoft and Ipswich, living near Lowestoft it's quicker to go on the A140 get past Ipswich."

The rail union believes it has the support of the public to secure the role of guards on trains.

Ninety percent of Greater Anglia workers who are members of the RMT union have voted to go on strike over the dispute.

There are fears strikes could plunge our trains into chaos, similar to that experienced by commuters using the Southern Rail network.

Steve Smart, from the RMT, said: "The travelling public like to see and have guards/conductors on the trains, which also gives them the opportunity to have disabled passengers and such like being assisted in getting on and off trains, and that I feel sure it's what the travelling public wants to see going forward."

Greater Anglia says it's "disappointed" with the outcome of the ballot and pledged to resolve the dispute before any strikes take place.

Members voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action in a row over the role of guards and driver-only trains.

Chelmsford Conservative MP Vicky Ford has told BBC Essex she's been in touch with the county's other MPs to get their reaction and said the situation is worrying - and baffling.

"I'm obviously incredibly concerned... it affects our commuters," she said.

"It's also really strange because they're striking about whether or not their guards have the rights to open and close doors, but actually the guards on our Chelmsford trains they don't do the doors opening and closing anyway."

However, the RMT union says safety concerns have led to members preparing to go on strike.

Greater Anglia says it's disappointed with the ballot result and has no plans to remove guards from trains during its current franchise, which runs until 2025.
