This 'once in a lifetime' opportunity saw around 200 brave souls stepping off the top tier of the Greene King stand from a height of 200 feet. Reaching speeds of up to 30mph, they flew over the award-winning Ipswich Town pitch, covering 335ft in a matter of seconds before coming to a stop on the landing site in the North Stand below. This first ever sponsored zip slide at the Ipswich Town Football Club (ITFC) offered a unique view of Portman Road, as they zoomed across the award winning pitch.

Participants had to be aged 14 or older, be able to follow instructions, be fit and healthy (within a certain weight limit), and not of a nervous disposition. Each participant had to raise a minimum of £200 in sponsorship.
