Thanks for the reply.

Glad you don't condone the chants and yes I do agree with you that Stanley fans are already different from other clubs. I went to St Marys a couple of weeks ago and the atmosphere was terrible; I reckon stanley fans are the best in the country.

And yes, I don't think the actions of a few should reflect badly on the vast majority of stanley fans. I wrongly got the impression that people on here were just dismissing it as 'banter'.

I guess my reference to being different wasn't meant as an insult to the Ultras. It was simply an aspiration that you might be able to go to the football one day where references to things like the cockling disaster in Morecambe, child abuse in Rochdale, Jimmy Saville, Stan the Monkey, gypsies aren't made....And don't get me wrong, there is defintely more of that kind of thing at other football clubs. Im probably being unrealistic, but we can but dream.
