Geniune question.
You know/assume where I sit, but if he remains in position, are some of you going to stop supporting the club.
No wind up, just curious. |  | | |  |

If he stays - it shows that, as a Club, we are not interested in living our values.
We 'say one thing but do another'. In essence, success at all/any costs.
That's not the Ipswich I know and it would undo all (in my opinion) of the work that the Club has done to rebuild it's links with fans and the wider community.
I thought, foolishly maybe, we were better.
I'm going to deliberate more before making a decision but that is the first time in 50+ years as a Town fan that I am even thinking of the possibility. [Post edited 27 Mar 12:58]

Well I am not going to stop supporting the club or going to matches.
Those that do stop need their brains looking at.
I couldn't care less if Farage was here having lunch with Ashton or whatever, he can come and have a banquet for all I care.
Ashton doesn't have to tell us who is at the club and who he has lunch with as its nothing to do with us.
I support the football club, have done for over 50 years and will do in the future.
What happens on the pitch saturday or midweek is all that matters to me. |  | | |

I thought you had posted your final thread on the matter yesterday?
One final post on the matter - Ashton by waveneyblue 26 Mar 18:01All the excitement at the thought of getting rid of Ashton makes me sick.
If that makes me a wrong-un in people's eyes, then good.
Enjoy your gloating..... you all know who you are.

Not as bothered as most here seem to be.
I *hope* there'll be some kind of explanation and contrition about lack of judgement, at some point soon.
I'm more annoyed about the distraction and potential for further disruption at a time we are pushing for an end of season promotion run.
Show must go on, for me. |  |

Fair response, only you can decide whats right for you if he stays.
I appreciate I was on the wind up last night, some just invite it too much, but at the end of the day, I understand that its down to personal opinion what effect (if any) it has on individuals. | | | |

Football is one of those wonderful havens in which I’m able to take a brief respite from thinking about the miseries of the world that people like Nigel Farage are increasingly bringing upon it. That person has now been brought directly into that haven, and if my club doesn’t get off its arse and do something then it feels increasingly like it’s happy with its decision to do so. So I would also need to have a long hard think on whether the club would still be able to serve its purpose as a positive part of life.
If not, I’ll devote more time to things like music, until the cnt turns up playing keyboards for Bruce Springsteen or something. | | | |

well written, and exactly this apart from one thing.
Only 30 years for me. I'm not that old. | | | |

Nah, i know how much you enjoy corresponding with me, so I didnt want you to miss out.
Oh and your response speaks volumes about you, I asked a geniune question and all you can come back with is this.
No intention of turning this into a slanging match, so either answer the question, or leave it there. | | | |

before i shift to another club i'm going to want to read their manifesto carefully. their policy on water nationalisation is a biggie for me. and i'm still hoping to find one that will promise free broadband. |  |

Might i suggest Norwich City FC? Seems a good fit. [Post edited 27 Mar 13:09]

Let’s be real, no one’s going to stop supporting their football club over it. This can be flooded with downvotes, but they just won’t.
It sucks that football has that hold / power over us, and that Ashton et al can effectively just tough this one out, if they choose to, but that’s the reality.
Could it be a slippery slope towards some staying away though, supporting more passively? Absolutely. Just look at your Blackburns etc. |  |

Really? If it's a Hitler soundalike, I think it has everything to do with us, and as the great Bobby Robson said, it's our club anyway, not his!

Where did you buy the ladder to get to the height that you talk down to all forty of us lesser mortals from, because it must be fecking massive? | |

I'm disappointed by the whole thing but I was here long before Ashton, and I'll be here long after. I'm not going to walk away just because a temporary custodian of the club lacks basic integrity. | | | |

I won’t turn my back on the club but what happens to them will be of secondary importance to me for the foreseeable future.
I also won’t have any time or interest in anything he has to say. |  | | |

I can't in good conscience support a football club that wilfully allows itself to enable the political aspirations of the far right. Ashton is free to support whatever political party he wants, that's his choice. What he should not be able to do is use our football club as a vessel in which to express that support, which is exactly what he's done. |  | | |
