And all, it would seem, because of one man (Ashton).

That in itself makes me angry.

There was no need for this to happen.

Apologies for yet another thread.

Got to admit it’s rather sad, family row round the dinner table vibes when we were all looking forward to hopefully another right go at promotion. Let hope someone is fist pumping at carrow road in 15 days time after whatever happens here in the next week or so.

Poll:

Ok gut feeling then, promotion?

At least the squabbling and division before was around the football itself.

Well actually it's not all down to one man. A large part of this is down to Farage - and it's exactly his MO. A salient lesson for a lot of people.

All it was, on the face of it, was 'man goes on football stadium tour' but look at the carnage it's created.

Astonishing really.

Yep. Thats the worst bit of this, and it was entirely predictable, it is why brands don't tend to associate themselves with Farage.

Are you purposefully being blind in this?

Why are you still running with 'it was just a tour' or am I misunderstanding your view?

Are you genuinely not seeing an issue with

Ashton and co inviting him to lunch
Telling lies to local media partners
Sending out a lie in official club statement
Gifting 6 free shirts to a politician
Providing approval for a political party to use club branding in commercial activity
Causing issues internally within staff players and potentially sponsors.

You honestly see all of the above as just someone going on a tour?

You’ve been wide of the mark all week on this unfortunately. This is very much a Mark Ashton mess-up which he should fully own.

I’m glad you put Ashton’s name in brackets, as for a minute I thought it was another thread about darkhorsebunchofnumbers again :)

Flash has got a point to a degree. Farage corrupts everything he comes into contact with and I doubt any other party head would have turned us into effectively their corporate sponsor.

But of course Ashton should have known better.

How does one know if he did or did not get permission for this from our American owners ?
Has anyone tried to find out !

One of my problems is that if there is this level of division among the fanbase then there is quite likely division amongt the staff (there is according to the Athletic) and worse still division in the dressing room (which exists according to the Guardian). At this point in the season the players, staff and fanbase should all be pulling in the same direction. It's astonishly shortsighted, embarrassing and disappointing.

Because it wouldnt matter if he did or didn't. Altho not doing so would have been worse anyway

But lets say he did. Hes still the man in charge of the club and oversees what happens inside it. He should have kept well away from it. So even if he obtained their approval it doesnt make what he did right.

But had it either have been Farage truly milking us and booking a private tour as initially suggested or Town did have a part in it but gave a robust statement/apology early on this could have very much been yesterdays news by now. The scandal is not so much that Farage was here but that the CEO facilitated it, lied about it (both internally and externally) and still hasn’t taken a crumb of responsibility for it.

I don't see a lot of division tbh. In the main, most people seem I'm agreement.

I think there has been division on here for a long time.

I guess that's natural on a football forum, but there is definitely a split on here.

This episode has clearly highlighted this divide even further.

Nice cat though.
