Protest by PhilTWTD 29 Mar 14:56
The players were and probably still are furious about all this, as you'd imagine they'd be having had shirts with their names on appearing in videos promoting Reform without their knowledge. And it's certainly not about 'left-wing views', plenty of people who would put themselves on the right on here and elsewhere are unhappy with the association of their club with Reform.

'Ashton out chants' by grow_our_own 2 Apr 22:23
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/Ryorry/polls/4264/faragegate--if-his-decision-should-ashton-resign-be-sacked-or-stay - 58% of 145 respondees.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/NederlandseBlue/polls/4271/should-ashton-go - 59% of 107 respondees.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/The_Romford_Blue/polls/4272/ashton-out-yes-or-no - 61% 125 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/budgiebasher/polls/4273/do-ashton-werhun-and-nash-all-need-to-leave-our-club-tomorrow - 61% 102 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/Ryorry/polls/4275/2nd-faragegate-poll-to-see-if-3-days-later-views-have-changed - 69% 148 respondees
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/tommcd/polls/4277/ashton-in-out-why - 70.6% of 194 respondees

And here's TWTD being roughly balanced politically between left and right:
https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/BelsteadCav/polls/4267/which-way-do-you-swing
much like Ipswich which swings between Labour & Tories. 106 respondees.

We were more annoyed following Ashton's "apology": https://www.twtd.co.uk/members/NederlandseBlue/polls/4279/after-the-video-how-do-you-feel 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.

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.
