THE Ultras were formed by a group of like-minded fans who were passionate and committed to increasing the atmosphere at Accrington both home and away.

Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
a big thank you to those that turned up this morning. It only took us about an hour and a half to blitz the town centre. Many posters were being put on doors before we had even closed them!
Everybody has had a letter detailing red and white fortnight and when the media get hold of it this week it will reinforce what they have already been told. To anybody that didn't turn up but wants to get involved still, just print a poster off, print off the text in previous messages and take it to you local newsagents, fag shop, post office, barbers, pub or workplace. The whole idea is for Stnaley to be in your face at least until the season starts proper. The more posters we get up the better. I heard through Mystic Meg that todays attendance was going to be about 800. So anything above that we have done (I wish). |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
oh yeah, and other than us I counted four Stanley shirts in town this morning.
and about 20 stanley fans |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
Good effort, I see quite a few in Stanley shirts when I was down - most hanging round the burger van :)
See quite a few of the posters are being displayed, i'm gonna print a few off for every match and put them on the notice boards inside the town hall and market hall entrances. Do you just pin your own up in these places or do you have to see someone, anyone know? |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
that was us earning our dinner.
Thanks for the posters KSH, they look really professional. As far as sticking up your own are concerned I think the etiquette (hark at me with big words on a weekend) is that if their is a notice board you can stick your own up, if there ain't then you can't. |

what you cant answer the question ?not much to ask is it

Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
simple question= simple answer

Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
Are you really stupid or do you just pretend to be that way to wind people up? It's there for all to see in black-and-white, "We want to include EVERYBODY in our recruitment drive" or is that too difficult for you to understand?
Obviously, nobody takes you seriously but what really annoys me is the nom-de-plume you have chosen to use. Walter Galbraith was one of the most successful managers in our history, an intelligent man and, by all accounts, a gentleman. To blight his memory, even by association, by using his name to post the utter drivel you choose to inflict on us makes me sad...very sad. |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
Without offence the answer is quite simple it’s about getting bums in seats and getting Accrington behind its team. It’s promoting what Accrington Stanley as done for its town and about what the ultras do for its team. If you want to join the ultras, just get in there and give it your all, simple Answer.
Ksh, I’ve been displaying a Blackpool poster in the car around Blackpool for the last few weeks. Nice Job. Trying to seek them into the Stadium as well. Just a note. The Shop have a number of magnetic Stanley Crests which look good when displayed with the posters, worth a plug, They are expensive but well worth it in my opinion. I have had one on the boot of the car for the last two weeks including at Saturdays game against Burnley, to everyone’s credit it was still on the car when I got home… |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
walter galbraith is! the most successful manager in the history of accrington stanley and if you want to take everything the wrong way you must be off your rocker .somebody asked me to ask and i did is that a crime why cant everybody be as sensible as the person above.........ill be waiting for my negative karma............
|
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
oh plus the personal threats through my private messages and if you think im stirring it ask the moderators theyll have the proof
|
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
I've never given any bad karma to anybody and I've certainly never issued any personal threats, so I hope you're not accusing me.
The fact remains that it wasn't a genuine question, it was a sneaky little dig at the people who organised the whole thing. But then again, sneaky little comments are your speciality, aren't they? A few weeks ago you commented about "people jumping on the bandwagon for personal gain". When challenged about it, you chose to ignore it, because facts aren't your forte; instead you deal in inneudos. And if you think Walter Galbraith was our best manager ever, please stop using his name to post your rubbish on this site. |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
i read it as a dig as well to be honest... or should I say...another dig at the ultras.. I may be wrong.. I have been known to be wrong a couple of times a day :) ... but to be honest thats how it read..
|
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
Wow for some one who spouts crap and has no clue whats going on, also pees off 99% of this board you seem worried about a bit of Karma.
Why not crawl back under the stone you appeared from and let the Ultras and the supporters club do the best they can for this club. I think Kipax was nice to think he was wrong as it is with out doubt a dig at the people trying to make vast improvments for this beloved club, why did the people ask you and not come on here themselves, are you the only one in the "chip on your sholder club" that has a computer? |
Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
:engsmil: having only started watching asfc last season i have been doing my research into asfc history and surely the most succesfull manager in asfc history is john coleman, in 7 years in charge he has won 3 championships, peter swales trophy (twice) and marsden cup (twice i think) and has taken asfc into the FOOTBALL LEAGUE,
i believe walter galbraith was a very popular 50,s manager but not as successfull as jc, so to MR WALTER GALBRAITH i say as a new supporter give the ultra,s the credit they deserve and either PUT UP OR SHUT UP, as you post drivel, and i am not a kid i am a 43 year old female civil servant who enjoys the flags and the banter etc :engsmil: |

Re: Saturdays' recruitment drive
With regards to WG and his question I too like Kipax think it was a dig at the Ultra's, who it seems are just trying to get the people of Accrington and surronding area to become intrested in following ASFC.
Had he read the thread from the start he (and I'm assuming that this member is male) would have seen that the question had been answered before it was even thought of ie opening statement of this thread!!!!! While I can not actively join the ultra's I do hope that their hardwork is rewarded with the gates increasing at the Ground and that ASFC go from strength to strength. Howevere that does not mean I cant put up a poster (or tow) |
