Here's the press release in full. It looks tailor made for the Ultras.

SKY ONE ARE SEEKING FANS TO TAKE APRT IN A NEW SERIES LOOKING INTO THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF BEING AN AWAY SUPPORTER.

“Away Trips” is a brand new series for Sky One looking into the passion and dedication it takes to be an away fan. Just what drives hundreds of thousands of people to travel hundreds of miles every Saturday afternoon? Why do people prefer to battle against the traffic, awful weather, dilapidated stadiums, and the infamous dodgy pie when they could just stay at home?

Can the answer really be about a mere 90 minutes of inevitably turgid action at some far-flung outpost of the football empire? No, of course it’s not.

We are looking for people to help us portray this great, but largely unseen obsession. Regardless of what team you support, which division they are in, or where they are in Great Britain, we want to hear your trials and tribulations of being an away fan, no matter how obscure.

Filming starts at the end of January until late March 2005 and we want to know what away trips you have planned?

Whatever your story, we want to hear from you! To get in touch, please call us on 0870 881 0865 or email [email protected]
