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.
