The 61-year-old posted on social media photographs holding up a 'Farage 10' shirt at Portman Road as he continues to promote his "We Will Fix It" local election tour in Suffolk. This is ahead of the county council and Ipswich Borough Council's elections on 7 May. Prior to his local event, which was both oversubscribed and met with angry protesters, Farage paid a cheeky visit to the home of the Tractor Boys, a stop that reports have suggested was not with full knowledge of the football club.

According to independent Ipswich Town outlet TWTD, Farage's visit was not arranged in advance by the club, and the politician instead booked onto a public tour of Portman Road along with other members of his team. He then posed for photographs inside the stadium that appeared as if they had been organised and even posted on social media, writing: "I’ve never been too bad on the right wing. " I’ve never been too bad on the right wing. ✍️⚽️ pic. twitter. com/ed W9hul Pr OMarch 24, 2026 Fans of Kieran Mc Kenna's side have quickly called for the club to condemn the PR stunt held by Farage, with one disgruntled supporter writing: "The club needs to distance themselves from this sorry episode as rapidly and as forcefully as possible. " "That may well be the case, but allowing a very recognisable public and controversial figure to take pictures of himself pitch side holding the shirt with his name on should set alarm bells ringing within the press department.

Ipswich Town are yet to comment on the matter, with the Tractor Boys currently battling to return to the Premier League after their relegation last season. Mc Kenna's side are 3rd in the Championship at present, just two points behind second-placed Middlesbrough with only eight games to go. They also have a game in hand to play over Kim Hellberg's side.

In Four Four Two's view, the sooner Ipswich Town address the matter, the better, especially given the outcry online from their supporters. It's a cheeky tactic used by Farage to get people talking online and it seems to have worked on this occasion. Then again, we wouldn't expect anything else from him at this point.
