Celebrating Race, Ethnicity And Cultural Heritage within the Ipswich Town fanbase |
100+ years supporting Town between us |
Different Roots. Same Town.
We never thought we would have to create this group. We understand people have their own political views but having a divisive character like Farage associated with #itfc is not a good look and the statement from @IpswichTown was pathetic. Are all fans welcome or not?
Congratulations @IpswichTown - We are Premier League again! 💙
A squad of different ethnicities, cultures and backgrounds, united by one badge, one team and one dream.
Different Roots. Same Town.
From all of us at REACH, congratulations Town! #ITFC
@IpswichTown Well done Town. Proud of our clubs anti-racism stance even in tha dark days. Racists have and will never be welcome at #itfc#BlackLivesMatter
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.

@jake12769928510@IpswichTown Hi Jake, so would you agree politics has no place in football?
Would you agree that it is ironic that @Nigel_Farage said politics should stay out of football yet used a football club to promote his political party?
@windycorner13@IpswichTown Free speech and hate speech are two different things. Our club has traditionally been inclusive but inviting someone who divides people has a lot of fans questioning the morals of our great football club
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?
ReachTractors celebrates the diversity of Ipswich Town fans across race, ethnicity and cultural heritage.
With 100+ years supporting Town, we know football is strongest when everyone feels they belong.
We’re focused on listening, learning and bringing fans together #itfc
