What is a club in any case? It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. #itfc 💙

With Farage trying to Do the 92 and Braverman attacking FA efforts to increase diversity in football coaching, this is very timely.
Football's Dirty Secret

Brexit, Racism and British Football

The comforting story that England and-English football told itself in the early twenty-first century was that its once over- whelming, audible racism had been silenced. Rather than baying crowds, anti-racism statements over the public address system and pitch-side adverts were now the norm at every club. The sports press were sufficiently self-righteous that, where the England team was concerned, they could angrily condemn the racism of Spanish and Slovakian crowds. In this regard John Terry, the Chelsea and England captain, did the cause a favour, making it transparently clear that racism was alive and well when, in 2011, he was captured on film saying 'you fucking black cunt' to QPR's Anton Ferdinand.¹ Just eight days earlier,

Even as Ipswich's CEO is trying to sorry-not-sorry his way out of allowing Nigel Farage to use the club to amplify its message of hate, Reform are trolling the Ipswich women's team. Perhaps now the CEO will finally realise what he's done and resign.
Reform retweeting the Ipswich Town women's account, which had put out a programme cover painted by a fan. The Reform retweet shows an image of Farage holding an Ipswich shirt, treated to make it look like a painting.

Too little Too late Zero accountability. Says there's been some mistruths but doesn't address them. "I'm sorry you're upset" type energy. It's our fault for being upset. How silly of us. We're like mushrooms - fed on 💩 and kept in the dark! Ashton out. Tired of the BS now. #itfc

Mark Ashton, Your time at the club has to end now I'm afraid. As CEO & Chairman the buck stops with you and as fans we've been lied to and gaslit. This IS the end. Not the end of the beginning. Not the beginning of the end. The end. All the best, thanks for 99% of what you've done. #itfc 💙

Logged back into my X account the other day, deary me what a sorry state of affairs that platform is now. Interesting however to see which prominent #itfc accounts either haven't said anything at all or are calling anyone with a problem to be "leftist", "woke" "wet wipes" etc. True colours etc

No reply to my letter (yet) + Nothing further from any senior figures at the club. Starve something of oxygen and it usually dies. Interesting that Talksport quoted an unofficial quote from inside the club about the after effects. This isn't going away anytime soon I don't think. #itfc

I first leaned towards thinking that Farage's disastrous photo-op at Portman Road was due to incompetence (and Reform tricking the club into letting it happen). But that was before Ipswich Town FC released this statement. Clearly, they knew what would be staged, and went along with it.
