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.

@IpswichTown I reject the apology as not necessary to pander to the easily offended.

@alanbur43773651 How is it divisive?
If Ashton doesn't see any issue with whats happened then why did he feel the need to publish a statement saying he didn't know about Farage? Everything that comes out of the club is signed off by him.
Club lied and got found out, ultimately thats on Ashton

If nothing else, you're telling me that no one questioned 6x "FARAGE 10" shirts being ordered for printing?
The worst thing about the whole episode is the lying.
Mark Ashton has been caught out and made to look a right royal tit.

❌ "I don't want to see a football club being leveraged by any politician!"
🤦♂️ "If it was a political party someone liked, there wouldn't be a backlash against it!"
Simon Jordan has his say on the reaction to Nigel Farage and Reform UK's #ITFC stadium tour! 👀

Exactly this Simon Jordan, the outrage is only because it's coming from people with a different political leaning. #itfc

Town Issue Statement On Farage Visit - Town have issued a statement regarding last night’s visit to Portman Road by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-n… #itfc #championship #efl
English
I was with Ipswich Town for 13 years and I don’t remember a single politician ever being hosted by the club.
#ITFC can’t say they are proud to be inclusive,diverse and welcoming then host someone that is completely against those values?
