Stanley Ultras

Willie Miller · 25-10-2004, 21:20

As most are aware, I've invested/made a few large flags to add to the atmosphere & inject some colour home & away. Now I would like to take it to the next level & am using this forum for ideas / suggestions / opinions.

It is hoped to create a unofficial supporters club with its members made up of away travellers, singers, flag wavers & generally the more vocal supporters. We need a commitee, name, website, aims, forum, membership, etc. Especially need to know what the older regular away travellers think ie Eibo, Loweiy Cammy etc

I will do as I have done with the flags & take the lead but need to know your thoughts on both the concept & the name of the club "Stanley Red Ultras" is my suggestion & I'll be in charge of flags & banners, Mr Kipax will help with all things online but WHAT'D YA THINK.... I'm gonna carry on with more flags but this will give us a presence & some direction..............

All thoughts & opinions gratefully recieved -

Nothing to do with Accringtonweb mate, its hopefully a new "supporters club" whose sole aim is to increase the passion & colour seen on the Terraces both at the Crown & on our travels....

Sounds like a plan to me fella. I'm up for that. Maybe we should get some sort of meeting arranged in order get things moving...what do you think?

Count me in Jase, I'll do all I can ..

Bazf · 26-10-2004, 23:59

Good idea any chance of it being an adult only or the forum will go the same way as this one.

There's no doubt, Jase, that your enthusiasm and imagination have brought a great deal of colour and excitement to recent matches - in fact (dare I say it?) your banners have been more exciting than some of the football !

However, I honestly don't believe that your success in that particular arena would , of itself , sustain a Club for any reasonable length of time.

So why not bring your flair and originality into the Official Supporters' Club ? We have the infrastructure, the experience and - surely - the shared aim of showing the world what a wonderful thing it is to be a Supporter of Accrington Stanley .

During the past few years, I know, there has been a feeling amongst some fans that the Official Supporters' Club has not been "their" sort of club ; there's been , perhaps , a belief that it's some sort of "Old Men's Club" which is out of touch with today's world. Well, I'd like to assure everyone who reads and contributes to this forum that nothing could be further from the truth !
In recent months there have been some really significant changes to the Club which will, within a very short time indeed, satisfy many of the modernists amongst us without sacrificing the valuable traditions which mean so much to so many.
These changes have been carefully thought through and , I'm pleased to say , have met with the full approval of Eric Whalley when I put them to him following our AGM.

So, before creating any break-away unofficial supporters' club, please let's be patient and see how we can all work together within the Official Accrington Stanley Supporters' Club. I repeat, this enthusiasm which you are showing is truly wonderful . . . let's make sure that we can all be a part of of it. Many Thanks, Steve Baker.

I have to agree with Eibo on this it's ok people saying yeah am in but if we are to get things moving it does need a meeting. What do you think J???
