On Tuesday morning, Ipswich declined to comment on the record, although a club source said Farage was not formally invited to attend Portman Road.
They say it was a private tour — booked through Portman Road Events — and they had no knowledge at the time of booking that it was for the leader of Reform.
The same source stressed that there was no official club involvement, nor was he there to meet a senior official during his visit, which they said lasted around 30 minutes. That version of events was reported by other sections of the UK media.
But evidence provided by a Reform source contradicts this version. The Athletic has seen a message sent by an associate of a senior club figure to a Reform official asking for a meeting with Farage during his visit to the town. |  | | |  |

FFS. This is getting very messy.
From a football point of view, I think we've all said a lot about the fallout from this visit, I'm just glad there is no game for the next two weeks. |  |

I'd guess either the Chairman or CEO. |  |

He’d just machine gun anyone who he didn’t like the skin colour of, anyway - wouldn’t be a fair fight. | | | |

I would not be surprised to see Ashton holding a large Reform UK mug at his next walkaround. |  | | |

I know, I couldn’t believe it when he said he’d machine gun people seeking asylum, but try not to judge him too harshly. It’s probably my fault for mentioning it again, not his for saying it. | | | |

Well done to that “associate of a senior club figure”. Although if they’re an employee we may have to arrange a whip round 😬 (Edit - sorry, not well done. I wrongly read that as them leaking to the Athletic. The rest stands).
I don’t like being lied to and taken as a fool. I’m sure I’m not alone. [Post edited 24 Mar 18:36]

I would hope that our local press would push the club on this, especially as the optics appear to be the club are lying about what has happened. |  |

Of course they won't.

Yep. You can already see that this has planted loads of division in our fanbase.
This is what Farage does, pits one group against another, creates division. Not saying that was the point of his visit, but it is the inevitable result of it. |  |
