Norwich City gain millions more fans after Nigel Farage seen with Ipswich Town shirt

Championship club Norwich City have gained millions of fans overnight after Nigel Farage was pictured holding the shirt of their rivals Ipswich Town.

Pictures shared by Reform UK showed their leader holding an Ipswich Town shirt with ‘Farage 10’ written on the back, a publicity stunt which has massively backfired for the East Anglia club. 

“We’ve sold about two million shirts overnight,” said Norwich City owner Mark Attanasio.

“Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for better publicity. It’s been so overwhelming that we’ve even had a few Ipswich Town fans switch allegiances. I wish Nigel Farage would do this every week.

“We had loads of tickets left for our next league game, but they’ve all sold now. Not only that, the club shop is absolutely heaving as well. All because Ipswich were silly enough to let that man touch their shirt.

“Hopefully they’ll get Rupert Lowe to hold one next. We’ll probably be making Man United and Arsenal kind of revenue then.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Delia so buzzing. Expect another half-time team talk from her next game because she’s been pounding those gin and tonics like there’s no tomorrow. She just loves to see Norwich doing so well.

“Let’s be having you!”
