I cannot beleive that with 8 games to go people are going to try get 'we want Ashton out' chants going. The atmosphere this season has been pretty flat especially compared to other seasons. Also when Marcus Evans was killing the club there was not this much commotion and people trying to start protests, when real change was needed.
Ashton has made a mistake apolgised for it but instead of moving on with our lives people want to destroy the person who has changed our club and transformed us to levels I did not think we would reach.
If people want to make an impact monday sing for the whole 90 minutes and get behind the players. There are far more worse things in the world happening right now. |  | | |  |

It’s almost like they consider posting on here somehow equates to throwing up in a shop doorway after eight pints and a dodgy kebab.
Ah well, someone will clean it up and then I’m in the clear….
No evidence it was me….. |  |

There won’t be a protest of any sort on Monday. People will support their football club.
Which doesn’t mean people have moved on.
Or that it’s 40 noisy people on here. That was completely discredited very quickly as one man’s prejudice. |
40 shouty people on here is not far out. |  |

Are 40 defenders of MA on here far right?
Just checking for balance and tolerant understanding, obvs….

For a bunch of fans that have had a hard time ever criticizing a single decision the club has made or deal we’ve done in recent years they’ve gone full 180 because of poor decision making and PR disaster by our chairman. To coin a phrase, this is now only really now being given oxygen by a subsection of our fanbase. The players deserve better, a lot better!
Doesn’t mean it’s just forgotten but the owners will sort it and the structure one way or another in the summer anyway. Back the team or just stay away so hopefully someone else can. [Post edited 2 Apr 18:26]

Weird logic, shouldn't that give you an idea of how much of a monumental cock up this is the fact so many are speaking out so loudly, rather than just trying to bury your head in the sand? If you didn't know the PM was asked about it yesterday. |  | | |

the really weird ones are those who spent their entire time dissing ashton and mckenna, then decide he must stay.
only thing that has changed is that he met a quasi-fascist, lied about it, tried to cover it up and then ran away from adversity and left mckenna to face the press.
very odd characters! |
Yep odd is certainly one way of putting it. | | | |

Absolute nonsense.
With each passing day people are less and less interested.
Create a poll now. Even with the 300 alts of the whats app group it won't be two thirds. |
And why exactly are you so pleased about that? | | | |

I want us to go up and this is a big distraction.
I think he will be gone in the summer and I think he probably should go.
To me it makes perfect sense to finish the season, hopefully get promotion, line up a replacement and then get rid of him. |  |

But that ignores that he is the epicentre and focal point of all the issues, division and reputational damage. Removing him solves a large portion of that and enable focus on the rest of the season. He'll be contributing close to zero in his role to the run in, and it would give a head start to the new appointment going into next year, rather than having Ashton sabotage from within like he apparently has history of. On top of that we know the players and likely McKenna are massively pissed off with him, i'd say it's more of a jump to say he's not a negative influence on the teams performance for the rest of the season.

40 shouty people on here is not far out. |
You don’t believe the reports about the players, the staff, the various fans groups, the sponsors, the media. It’s all 40 shouty people on here.
If so then that’s fine. If not then it’s ok to admit when you’ve got something very wrong.
Otherwise it seems you’re stuck in some bubble and won’t consider alternative opinions to your own. |  |

read what i wrote - 'on here'
overall - there is actually a world beyond twtd - it's a small minority of supporters who are up in arms. the bubble is entirely yours. | |

I’m actually beginning to wonder whether MA espouses the use of paragraphs and capital letters…

I haven't said no one cares anymore. I think with each passing day people are more prepared to let it go. I have not seen any evidence that it's "two thirds" other than the first day or two when the anger was raw.
I don't think the protest is going to attract many people. I may be wrong, but two thirds? I doubt it's anywhere near. |
I've just realised the links I posted earlier were broken. Were you poll-sceptics criticising them without even so much as a cursory glance? Let's try again:
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 58% of 145 respondees.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 59% of 107 respondees.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 61% 125 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 61% 102 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 69% 148 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members - 70.6% of 194 respondees
And here's TWTD being roughly balanced politically between left and right:
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members
much like Ipswich which swings between Labour & Tories. 106 respondees.
We were more annoyed following Ashton's "apology": https://www.twtd.co.uk/members and the proportion wanting Ashton out **increased** in more recent polls (ones lower in the list), and with bigger sample sizes. Ipswich fans want Ashton out by a big majority. Polling shows it's around two thirds of the total. [Post edited 2 Apr 22:33]

I've just asked ChatGPT 5.4:
If there are several polls of between 107 and 194 respondees representing a total population of ~28,000, how likely are they to be representative?
For a population of about 28,000, samples of:
107 give a rough margin of error of about ±9 to 10 percentage points
194 give a rough margin of error of about ±7 percentage points
So even if best case for Ashton, the polls were max inaccurate in his favour, there'd still, on average be a big majority for wanting him out.
Again, TWTD is roughly equally left and right, so is Ipswich, so there's no reason to believe polls aren't representative of Ipswich supporters. | | | |
| 'Ashton out chants' on 22:33 - Apr 2 with 243 views | KBsSocks |
These are a "straw polls".
100 respondents is moving the polls beyond that, perhaps, but if 50% are alts / alternative accounts / "socks" then it's not more than a straw poll, sorry.
And the methodology of these polls is very questionable.
Basically 2/3 is bill hooks, sorry to burst that bubble.
The polls suggest that there might be ... whatever the polls are asking. But they are not representative. | |

We will see how well your protest goes. If I am wrong I will happily admit it.
I still think the two thirds of Town fans claim is dreaming. | |

Is also bill hooks, but ask away.
Divide your questions by two or three, then ask again.
But "ignore AI atm" is what I suggest. | |

Also, total population is more than 30k, because many TWTD commenters are not at the ground on matchdays, all the time.
Edit: you have been pushing your particular narrative on questionnaires on this site for a while now. Sorry, but you need to back off from that a little bit. [Post edited 2 Apr 22:42]

And those socks only vote one way? Gotcha.
News to ChatGPT 5.4 these are worthless polls. Perhaps you should inform OpenAI its statistical logic is flawed. They'd probably pay you handsomely.

Sorry, edited my post while you were answering.
Its statistical logic may be flawed, it's not looking good from what I have seen so far.
But "rubbish in - rubbish out" is my perspective. The data you are asking it to address is not good data, sorry.
Anyway, please don't argue with me - it becomes an opinion if the statistical side is poor: you are suggesting it's 2/3, I am saying it is not, is all. A statistically-significant and important number, yes, but not 2/3, not even 2/3 here on TWTD.
(I didn't say "overreaching", not that that appears relevant to what I am saying) | |

Gav, be interested on your take on the quantity of:
""
alts / alternative accounts / "socks"
""
Presumably you'd see patterns of same accounts being used from the same client devices/IPs. Don't expect you to take sides in any of this, but just facts would be illuminating. | | | |
