'Why not take your own sandwiches?' Viewers 'irritated' by couple who spend £52 on lunch at Costa on a family day out and then complain about the cost of living crisis
🚨 NEW: Sir Jim Ratcliffe is relocating around 1,100 long-standing Manchester United season-ticket holders from the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand at Old Trafford to create a new premium hospitality section. The luxury areas will offer three-course meals at Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat restaurant, champagne and other high-end perks for corporate clients at £315–£425 per head. Around 600 fans have already been moved, with the rest expected next season; displaced supporters are being offered alternative seats, often breaking up family groups. The decision has angered loyal fans, including 76-year-old Tony Riley, whose family has held the same engraved seat since 1949. Many feel “turfed out” in favour of the “prawn sandwich brigade”, while season-ticket prices are still rising 5% with no discounts elsewhere. [@LukePower_5, @MailSport]

Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement: Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party. The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community. Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.
