Brown relishes Town visit

29 Sep 2006 - 08:32:21

Colchester United defender Wayne Brown is relishing Friday night's derby clash with his former club Ipswich Town.

Brown helped the U's clinch promotion to the Championship last term and is now looking forward to putting one over on the Tractor Boys, who he played for for seven years up to 2002.

He told the Evening Star: "Ipswich will not enjoy it at Layer Road playing against us.

"There will be a great little atmosphere. We will be out to start on the front foot and put Ipswich under pressure.

"It's a fixture that I've been looking forward to ever since we won promotion. We want to make home advantage count."
