Thanks

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

now thats a good idea!

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

And how much of the proceeds will be handed to Accrington Stanley or will it all go into the unknown Ultras coffers?

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

How about looking into the Ultras and whate we do/who we are and what we spend the money on before slagging us off pal

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

That were needless, mate. If it weren't for the Ultras, there'd have been no away coaches.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

While I think the question was badly phrased, I can understand why it was asked. Anyone using the club to 'potentially make money' should be able to explain where the money is going to. When I did a fanzine I was asked on numerous occasions where the money was to be used and I was always happy to tell them (match/ball sponsorships, season tickets as prizes, etc).

As I have stated before on numerous occasions, if a fanzine is to be set up, then I'd be only too happy to help out in anyway I could - articles, etc. I also have some experience of page layout, plus the tools to do it. :)

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

would anybody be free to contribute or will it be just the usaul who do anythin to get on the telly/ in the papers etc if u do set one up anybody should be free to contribute........................................ .................................................. .................................................. .............

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

We are currently looking for people with ideas to contribute to it, Its going to be a light harted monthly fanzine, so put your name forward and your idea on the ultras site :D

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

........what's with all the bitterness/jealousy aimed at the Ultras. 'do anything to get on TV?' - please explain this intriguing comment....

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

I agree, what's with all the bitterness? The Ultras are one of the best things that has ever happened to ASFC. Win 5-0, lose 5-0, they are always in fine voice and are great ambassadors for our club. Anything to get on tele? Again, jeaulousy. The Ultras are only trying to open more peoples eyes to the club they have in their town. Their banners and flags have benn praised by home and opposition alike, as well as the Stanley managerial team. I try to stand as close to them as possible during games, as the atmosphere they create is second to none. The way some of you talk, it seems you want to keep Stanley a small club for the flat-cap brigade and those in the know. We are growing, and the Ultras have and will continue to play a part in that. They inspire the players, run coaches to away games and generally increase the enjoyment of matchdays. I sometimes feel priveliged to support the same club as them. The moaners got their drum took away, can't you just leave them alone now?

RANT OVER:)

Fanzine = top idea

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

I`ll 2nd that Alvin.
The Ultras are a great bunch and matchdays would not be the same without them.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

I agree totally Alvin ! :)

The Ultras are very good for Stanley, create a great atmosphere at every match and have done a wonderful job in helping to promote the club and keep its name in the public conscience.

I am relative newcomer to supporting Stanley, but have only praise for the Ultras - they are a great bunch of guys, very friendly and made me feel most welcome as a supporter ! :D :D :D

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Bit like most of the ultras then http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/8248/whistle9gw.gif

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

oooooooooooooooooooooooo :eek:

wrong wrong wrong wrong

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

theres no bitterness or jealousy just stating a fact oh and the clothhat brigade are the ones who kept the club goin through the lean years a bit disrespectful there why not try and get some good publicity and say we are servants to accrrington stanley not vice versa you are welcome to create a good atmosphere but you are not accrington stanley there was other supporters here before you oh and my opinion about the drum is you should still be allowed to have it its ludricous they have banned itdoes that mean we have to move ground if we get promoted again as the crowds get bigger dont take evrythin to heart as it is supposed to be a discussion board and eveybody has an opinion instead of slagging off the core support give them respect look forward to the good and bad times ahead only time will tell

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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 ;)

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

The words touch-paper, blue, and lit come to mind.

Oh, and your also wrong. ;)

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

well just have a bit of respect for the older supporters and youll get on a bit better hope your not here just for the glory years just dont try an act elitist its not good for the ultras image wot u need is a good publicist why not try and discuss the football team and not me me me[youself]

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

and what developements are they how do you join the ultras is membership open to everyone ultras started in italy started by musolinni a fascist movement to supprt the state owned clubs get ur facts right

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

you need to learn punctuation mate cos its hard to understand your ramblings when their is no punctuation marks it all just rolls into one and their is no membership does it not say in my post that anybody can Ultra cos it is a movement or idea rather than a club and i am well aware that it started in italy but fascism has got nowt to do wi'owt over here so get ur facts right because i never claimed otherwise

Full stop

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Fantastic let's all stop using punctuation doubt if you'd make any sense if you did anyway

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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???

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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?.............

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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!

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

and back to the fanzine anybody?

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

:D MEdia Whore:D Oh hell i

But seriously, if we hadn't applied when we did then we wouldn't have got on this season.... Is that good for ASFC?

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

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 ?

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

all this started with one question ?. is anybody allowed to contribute?why r u always on the defensive this sort of attitude gets you no -where you should always answer consructively not have pot shots just because somebody has an opinion that is different to you.this is why you appear elitist let this be a lesson to you. you have nothing to prove so stop trying to prove it .at least we agree on something we all want accrington stanley to win:Banane25: :cool: :) :D

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

lets try and keep this thread going at least the fanzine will get more publicity ill ignore last one admin i thought there were rules on this board like threats n things

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

like where ?????????????????????///

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

There would've been no problem if you'd just said 'Can anybody contribute?', but you had to add 'or is it only the usual who will do anything to get on TV'. It sounded like provocation to me...

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

provocation to a lively debate yes threats no ive been banned for a lot less and he wasnt even on tv ............................

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

What?

Egads man, try using a little English grammar!

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

way over your head anyway im off at least the messageboard has come to life
the way it should be ........keep posting.p.s.its called free speech

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

We ain't trying to prove nowt:p Anyone interested in contributing then let us know. All help required from anyone........

Either PM me, or log onto general chat on stanley ultras website. We hoping for first fanzine to be on sale for the first game of the season

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

How about looking into the Ultras and whate we do/who we are and what we spend the money on before slagging us off pal

Where in my question am I slagging anyone off Smiffy?

It was a straight forward question which I gather the answer is NOTHING from the proceeds will go to Accrington Stanley.:mad: :mad:

There is only a limited space on the ground for all the flags, so I don't see why there as to be a new one for every game.
I know what the ultras do and most of it is good, especially like the ultras footy team and getting on soccer am(which I thought was absolutly brill)

Sorry if i've upset any of the ultras but the reaction to the question speaks for itself.

I take it i won't be invited to the ultras website "secret place":) <!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

how about if nowt goes to the club but to the community in general?

my main ethos though is that fundraising is 2nd to the priority of raising the clubs profile. Money is important however for the purpose of putting on displays that most of you seem to enjoy (and that promtes the club in the correct family-orientated manner) and for making up the shortfall on away coaches and to pay for jobs around the place that ..................... oops nearly said too much.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

All flags have been purchased by myself at my own cost, including the huge surfer. All monies created from any Ultra projects will go into fan projects. The whole ethos is by the fans for the fans it is definately not to make money for the club, which at the end of the day, if it survives from hand outs then we are "screwed" anyway

Most supporters groups at our current level are actively into helping the fans & not the club. The OSC have their own mission to raise money for ASFC the club & a good job they do at that

I don't wanna have to defend anything we do because we have done it for the right reasons we believe, but all I will say is watch this space in terms of new "non flag" ventures. & remember every Sunday Stanley Ultras FC travel the length & breadth of the North West as ambassadors for our fine club. I know that people from Leeds, Barrow, Southport, Northwich have attended matches because of us cus I've spoke to them. They pay for entry, programme etc etc. Which isn't direct money into the club but indirect.

Instead of hiding behind a PC & having an opinion, PM me & I'm sure we have a role for anyone who has the best interests of ASFC at heart

If you just trying, as TM says, to fish for a response then well done & good day

On Stanley On!

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

i thought stanley ultras football team were supposed to be supporters half of the players who play for the team never go to a match cause they are playin football on a saturday

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Calling all Accrington fans. We have created a thread for you on the Rangers FC fans forum entitled Accrington Stanley. You can find us in the Scottish premier League. Well done and congratulations on your return to league football.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

i thought that we had a fanzine called "every club but us" which was compiled by bubs and plum or have people already forgot the work they did on that fanzine

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Nobody does a Fanzine at the moment bubs and plum used to and are contributing to the ultras fanzine but there isnt one at the moment

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

you're referring to the "everybody but us" fanzine a few years back. Sadly, thats no longer with us, so thats why the Ultras are starting a new one.

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

thanks for info,if you need any paper or photo copying, i am sure that our office at DWP blackburn can unofficially help

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Are you for real? Like who?

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Cheers, thanks

Bubs & Plum are I'm sure gonna contribute much to the fanzine & anybody is welcome to submit articles/features as we get going on the project

Re: Stanley Fanzine Idea
 

Walter whoever you are, if you would like to come to training for the Stanley ultras FC on any thursday night 9 till 10 at the Hyndburn Sports Centre and talk to me in person, then I would value the time to answer any questions about my players and the ethos behind the Ultras fc

if not then please refrain from having a pop at 30 - 40 lads who train and play every week in the name of Stanley
