"I'm fully aware that this has been a very difficult week for all of us. The staff are hurting, elements of the fanbase are hurting and so are elements of our local community. And that upsets me immensely - and, for that, I will unreservedly apologise and say I am sorry."
"Yes, I understand that supporters and elements of the community are angry. I also understand that there are a number of mistruths out there about what's actually happened."
Ipswich Town's decision to allow Nigel Farage to visit Portman Road has led to significant backlash from supporters. Farage, leader of Reform UK, used the visit for a political rally photo opportunity. In response to the anger, chairman Mark Ashton released a video to address the situation, stating the club is apolitical and does not endorse any individual or party. Ashton acknowledged the hurt felt by staff, fans, and the local community, apologizing for the distress caused and addressing the mistruths surrounding the visit.
