Farage and Reform UK used the private tour visit as a publicity stunt, taking pictures and videos at the club of him holding an Ipswich shirt with Farage 10 on the back.
The club said that they were not aware that Farage was going to visit, while other sources have claimed that the club invited the Reform Party leader.
Ipswich Town supporters group Rainbow Tractors, has released a statement following the controversial visit.

They said: “Rainbow Tractors is extremely disappointed in the club for allowing itself to be used in Reform’s Campaign trail.
“The sightings of Reform being welcomed into the stadium sadden and anger us.
“Quite frankly, we feel let down by our club.
“Reform UK is divisive, and do not accept the LGBTQ+ community.

“How can the club say they welcome us as a community and support us when they are happy to be used to promote a party that would happily take away rights of our community and take away our spaces?
“From Conor Chaplin becoming Rainbow Tractors amabassador, which was a huge moment, to a party who don’t like our existence being allowed to use the club as a promtional tool.
“The club may have hosted other political parties in the past, but only Reform has actively used the club as part of its campaign.
“Disappointed and let down.”

After a day of controversy, Ipswich Town released a statement to say that over the years, they had hosted representatives from a range of political parties.
They said: “The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party.
“The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community.
“Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.”
