No, we are not being reported as one of the worlds most right wing clubs, but we are mentioned in the same breath as them. In the context of racism, anti-semitism and overt displays of nazi symbolism.
That we are being talked about alongside this lot shows how much harm this affair is doing to our reputation as a club.

It's clickbait. Topical clickbait but still clickbait. Ignore it.
Ashton is not the club.

Dismiss it as mere clickbait iff you will, but I think you underestimate the impact of this sort of thing on the reputation of the club. Particularly given the wide distribution of this channel of this channel.

True.
But Nigel Farage was not holding up a Mark Ashton shirt after sitting in Mark Ashton's dressing room surrounded by Mark Ashton's trophy's after being welcomed to Mark Ashton's stadium by Mark Ashton's personal director of communications, for a meeting which was arranged by James Pearce purely on behalf of Mark Ashton.

Absolutely take that point, but do you think the club would prefer:
a) to be included in a widely viewed video about right wing clubs b) not be included in a widely viewed video about right wing clubs
Well yea, I totally get it, we should not be in this situation. I may have got it wrong but I thought their videos were generally lowest common denominator clickbait and they were just taking advantage of the situation.

Isn't part of the problem that this is exactly what Mark Ashton thinks happened?

All comes down to him holding the shirt, that is the bit that smarts the most. I can never unsee that image.
