Ipswich promoted with a remarkable stat - Dara O'Shea played every minute of the 46-game season...and didn't pick up a single yellow card. He deserves to be a Premier League player

Fact Ipswich situation has been jumped upon by the grifters is maybe the worst consequence of the club's idiocy & naivety in letting this happen. Don't let them tell you the problem is Farage visiting club – it's the fact he was allowed to turn it into a Reform endorsement. #ITFC

This is an absolutely gobsmacking video and a reminder of how important it is to have a journalist ask questions, not terrible corporate content framed as an interview. I’d like to meet a PR professional who thinks this went well.

Complete crisis comms cock up:
- #itfc in-house softball interview to avoid scrutiny
- No attempt to set out what really happened
- No explanation of why the club lied to local media
- No practical steps beyond ‘moving forward’

Nigel Farage’s visit to Ipswich Town this week has sparked a major backlash.
Fans have accused the club of allowing itself to be used for political purposes, but there is also internal dissent at the club’s handling of the affair.
The Athletic can now reveal that the club’s depiction of the visit, as presented to both staff and media, is being heavily disputed.
This is the inside story of a chaotic 72 hours.

At a time when the climate crisis is accelerating, cities are proving that progress is still possible.
Proud to co-chair an organisation powered by an incredible team driving bold climate action in cities across the globe 🌍

Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: theguardian.com/football/2026/… #ITFC

Nigel Farage’s visit to Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium has prompted a significant social media backlash.
Ipswich insist Reform UK and Farage were not formally invited by the club … but The Athletic has been told a slightly different story.

Whichever way you look at it this is a PR failure from the club. "Private tour" or not the club should have seen this coming.
The reason you don't politicise football is because it divides fans when there should be one common interest - Ipswich Town Football Club. #itfc

We took Nunez from them and gave them Farage - decent bit of business #itfc

See you next week! 😉

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.

I don't know how those high up at Ipswich Town could possibly think that - complicitly or otherwise - allowing a political party to film an advert in the stadium, discuss the manager, hold up the shirt and display sponsors' names *wouldn't* be widely viewed as tacit endorsement.
