[Alvin the chipmunk]

If you read my post, youll see I didn't knock the older fans in any way, I merely said that they must understand that a new generation of supporters in inevitable

Many of that group have been going for a decade or more. A good portion for two decades. Many of that group are still around school leaving age and have been going since the Unibond days. There is a blend of youth for the future support and experienced campaigners who have seen far worse days than the current ones. Not one member of the Ultras would have a bad word to say about the cloth cappers who have done their bit. Their is still room for such servants and their is also room for a new breed. Embrace it rather than fighting it.

Keep yours eyes and ears open and there will be developments before the league season is commenced.

As for the other comments;

The whole point of getting on the telly and frequent radio shows is that Stanley is kept in the public domain. Anybody can contribute to that. If you have the idea for getting on a particular show then you and your friends can get on it. I wouldn't have minded being on various things but its up to those people to whom the idea was borne. As far as other ideas are concerned why not pester the local papers letter pages with various gripes or praise.

The Ultras are personified by a group of people who congregate behind the goal and make a racket. But they are not the be all and all. "Ultra" is a movement or idea not a club. If you display an ASFC car flag then in a small way you are Ultra-ing, pinning your badge on your lapel of your Sunday Suit could be said to be Ultra. Everybody who has been or is an active member of the Supporters Club is maxing their support of ASFC, which is a trait of Ultra-ism. A band of people choose to be Ultra by putting on displays of colour and noise that are envied by supporters of clubs the length and breadth of Britain. What we lack in numbers is made up for by fervour and enthusiasm.

By the end of next season you will know exactly what the Ultras are about.

Get over the Ultra website and have a look about. You will discover that it is not a self -appreciation society but more of a case of people trying to enhance the reputation and profile of the club we love.

There is no membership mate, and as far as "get your facts right" well you obviously no nothing about the uk ultras movement.

p.s. what exactly have we done to offend you???

[waltergalbraith]

nothin just like to have a lively discussion before bedtime he he i think ill start a discussion about football tomoz cause cant remember last one that was on message board i never said i knew anything about uk utras only one i know about is the blue order and if there is no membership why are you saying what exactly have we [we] done to offend you?.............

[Oggy]

As we're playing Rochdale next season, maybe a couple of quotes from Gracie Fields wouldn't come amiss.

Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar,
And make all my nightmares come true.

Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar,
It's either the Workhouse or you.

Get a life, pal

Another reason why I "sometimes" doubt why I bother.....

Very easy to hide behind a log in & mock. If people weren't aware, my first game at Accy was 1983 & I was 10 years old. I joined the Army & missed alot because of tours etc, A reason I wasn't around for some of the adventures in the 1990's. Big friggin deal.......

I have lots of pride & envy for the fans that travelled with ASFC at that time but at the end of the day whatever anyone has done for our club in the past in reality all that matters is what you do in the future.

Forget TV appearances.... Out of the people at the meeting to introduce new ideas there were 3 members of the Barbados lads so wind your ****in necks in

Either help & encourage, or keep quiet

Jase, just admit your a media whore and be done with it

Some of the posters on here rank of jealousy, without any reason for it. I've had a few people say to me "Oh, why were those on SoccerAM there? I never seen them in 1990!" etc sort of comments, it's pathetic.

The Ultras are a good thing, and Jase has put more money, time and effort into helping the club than the people slagging him off have.

If somebody actually has a reason why they dislike the Ultras, please, by all means share it. But make some sense whilst your at it!

[maccawozzagod]

and back to the fanzine anybody?

Yes, let's get away from this Ultra sensitivity.

Don't really think it would sell, post t'internet etc., not saying it's not a bad idea, and I think there would be enough contributors, but don't we have it already on here, to some extent.

However, putative title; Where's the F in roof ?
