Ask any football supporter in the country what they think of when you mention the word Ultras in association with football and you'll get the same reply. However you want to dress up the facts, Ultra style organisations are associated with right-wing, often racist, football hooligan elements.

I never for one moment suggested that the 'Stanley Ultras' were any of those things, but I would wager that a fair number of others around the country will have thought that. Maybe those people are misinformed? But it doesn't stop them from believing that.

I have no problem with the people who want to promote the name of Accrington Stanley and bring colour to all matches, but I personally believe that the name is ill-chosen. That is my honest opinion.

The mock-up of the wristbands was very tongue-in-cheek and I assumed that it was taken that way too. It was merely a wind-up following on from a thread on Confguide where a number of supporters from other Conference clubs had expressed similar views to my own on the suitability of the name Ultras.

well i was on a website this morning saying how ultras are growing in the U.K
and if people think that ULTRAS are racist and are known as hooligans
well we will have to inform them that their incorrect and show them what
we do I.E make a good atmosphere and throw streamers and make flags

but we cant get streamers and flags for free

so stanley ultra bands are a way of raising the profile of stanley ultras
and making money for flags and streamers

Sorry for a humble female opinion, the stanley ultra work is outstanding BUT yes until i knew what it was all about i did think that with the name 'stanley ultras' that some extreme hooligan element had attached itself to our brilliant club and sadly a few misinformed people have told me of the same view. OBVIOUSLY I have set them straight!

Fearon1 · 09-01-2005, 19:19

IMO if people are thinking this then there should have been more thought when choosing the name.

Tinkerbelle · 09-01-2005, 19:22

I agree fearon but its not the stanley ultras fault the idea is fantastic its the idiot hooligans who give people these opinions

Smiffy16 · 09-01-2005, 19:22

Is this a slag the Ultras off thread???

Henry has told you Supporters Club members when it is then childishly started mocking me and the Ultras themselves......

The idea of the ultras is superb, the things they do for the club is brilliant. If people think it is a hooligan group then they must be strange, you say other people when you told them about the ultras hear the name then automatically think oh hooligans???

WHY????

If it wasnt for the ultras then we wouldnt get the following we do for games which will then affect the performance of the players. We all know that the ultras is not a hooligan group and thats all that matters all the other people can think what they like because obviously they know nout.

Now ZOMBIE can you step in here because this is frankly doing my head in because of people slagging off the best supporters group the club has got

baldy · 09-01-2005, 19:25

any stanley fan can be a stanley ultra so why didnt you say that a i think
ULTRAS is the wrong word

to be an ultra you dont have to be

aged 18 to 25
wear burrbery colours
walk round with a 10 man walk
and your nickname dos'nt need to be CHAV

Fearon1 · 09-01-2005, 19:26

I agree that the ultra's is a great thing for the club, but with people thinking its a hooligan group then wouldnt it be better to change the name, therefore people who dont know what the "stanley ??????" is they wont think its a hooligan group

Fearon1 · 09-01-2005, 19:27

Baldy why you relating hooligans with Burnley Fans???????

maidstoneaccy · 09-01-2005, 19:27

sorry smiffy cant agree with you on getting zombie involved im waiting for henry to reply to all the posts that the ultras have put on here, he fulled a toppick and should be allowed to reply
