Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

As most are aware, I've invested/made a few large flags to add to the atmosphere & inject some colour home & away. Now I would like to take it to the next level & am using this forum for ideas / suggestions / opinions.

It is hoped to create a unofficial supporters club with its members made up of away travellers, singers, flag wavers & generally the more vocal supporters. We need a commitee, name, website, aims, forum, membership, etc. Especially need to know what the older regular away travellers think ie Eibo, Loweiy Cammy etc

I will do as I have done with the flags & take the lead but need to know your thoughts on both the concept & the name of the club "Stanley Red Ultras" is my suggestion & I'll be in charge of flags & banners, Mr Kipax will help with all things online but WHAT'D YA THINK.... I'm gonna carry on with more flags but this will give us a presence & some direction..............

All thoughts & opinions gratefully recieved -

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I think it's a top idea!!

I will give you all the help I can , what about the rest of you?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I also think this a quality idea, absolutley fantastic. I'll give you a bell about it tonight if you want and we'll see what we can do? about 7ish ok fella?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Is this an Accringtonweb mutiny? I'm all for competition!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Nothing to do with Accringtonweb mate, its hopefully a new "supporters club" whose sole aim is to increase the passion & colour seen on the Terraces both at the Crown & on our travels....

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I'm interested Jase......good idea mate

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I'm all for that and an alternative forum!!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Count me in fella.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Great idea!!! Count me in.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Sounds a good idea mate, Ultras hehehe do we all have to wear burberry :cool: :)

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Sounds like a plan to me fella. I'm up for that. Maybe we should get some sort of meeting arranged in order get things moving...what do you think?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Count me in Jase, I'll do all I can ..

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Good idea any chance of it being an adult only or the forum will go the same way as this one.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

There's no doubt, Jase, that your enthusiasm and imagination have brought a great deal of colour and excitement to recent matches - in fact (dare I say it?) your banners have been more exciting than some of the football !

However, I honestly don't believe that your success in that particular arena would , of itself , sustain a Club for any reasonable length of time.

So why not bring your flair and originality into the Official Supporters' Club ? We have the infrastructure, the experience and - surely - the shared aim of showing the world what a wonderful thing it is to be a Supporter of Accrington Stanley .

During the past few years, I know, there has been a feeling amongst some fans that the Official Supporters' Club has not been "their" sort of club ; there's been , perhaps , a belief that it's some sort of "Old Men's Club" which is out of touch with today's world. Well, I'd like to assure everyone who reads and contributes to this forum that nothing could be further from the truth !
In recent months there have been some really significant changes to the Club which will, within a very short time indeed, satisfy many of the modernists amongst us without sacrificing the valuable traditions which mean so much to so many.
These changes have been carefully thought through and , I'm pleased to say , have met with the full approval of Eric Whalley when I put them to him following our AGM.

So, before creating any break-away unofficial supporters' club, please let's be patient and see how we can all work together within the Official Accrington Stanley Supporters' Club. I repeat, this enthusiasm which you are showing is truly wonderful . . . let's make sure that we can all be a part of of it. Many Thanks, Steve Baker.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Well I think it's a top idea , for a start we can have a travel committe that can take over the running of away trips with folk being able to ring 3 or 4 numbers instead of one it would be a much better system. We can offer discount travel to Ultra members who pledge to travel with us. As for Eric and the Club, we would be by the fans for the fans and I cannot see them having a problem with that. I can see sportsmans dinners to help raise cash for banners and drums, a bonfire night party with a REAL bang and lots of Ultra events to HELP it's club members. The Official club wil still be there to raise funds for the club, and we would raise awairness and support for the fans.
As someone who started the coach and the fans football team I know what one person can do with all the goodwill at Stanley, just think what 10 of us could do!!

STANLEY ULTRAS FOREVER
by the fans for ther fans

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Absolutley spot on with that mate, Some great points there. Lets all get together and get these things happening.......

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Sounds great this.....

Hope we can get it sorted soon

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Jesus, I expect an East Lancs "it'll never work" but yes, a meeting will be great & we can get some ideas on paper.

One of the main aims, was to make the away travel a little easier with the whole of the supporters helping to fill it..... For everybody within the club to be pushing for numbers, to raise funds to subsidise the bus & the FANS, & the flags, & the whole terrace experience.

Like Loweiy says its by the fans & for the fans. It will not though Henry be about competing with the official supporters club, I'm sure that most fans will support both where relevant but our main aims will be terrace related.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Is bonfire night not a bit too soon or you think we can get something sorted before then?

We could arrange an ULTRA'S Christmas party or summat?

Just an idea..........

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Very interesting site from St Patricks in Ireland, a good idea of what can be achieved with similar crowds to us....

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/l.magui...index_jun.html

Also Aberdeen's Ultras group (I'm a distant member)

www.redultras.net

Excellent ideas in fact I nicked the letters idea off them, the site has a good vibe & shows what can be done. Even on a small scale it'll be successful.

http://www.srfc.itgo.com/

http://www.srfcultras.net one of the best looking sites

Shamrock Rovers also.....

Anyone up for having a chat b4 Saturday's game.....

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

i thought the ultra name was associated more with extreme right wing italian football violence.....................but then again why think when you can imitate

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Thats where the ultras movement started in Italy, these days, the term Ultra is more likely to be the guy with the flag & scarf than the boot & fist.....

The name can be changed its the increase in fans & atmosphere that we are hoping for! A common goal of "Accrington Stanley"

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Hear we go again whats going on? just a few points

Accrington Stanley Supporters Club does not just raise money for the club it also contributes towards the well being of the fans new toilets etc

we already hold discos and party nights

as steve has already mentioned there is a lot of changes planed and being implemented within the ASSC

If some of the people who have posted on this thred botherd to come to our meeings and showed the same enthusiasm for the ASSC im sure that we could have a traved club etc etc

We are hoping to incoporate the Junior reds back under our wing in the near future as at the moment it has become a laughing stock and an embarisment to the club as certain enthusiastic people can not be botherd with it

as to the name ULTRAS ??????????????????????

Vice Chairman ASSC

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Already said, I don't care about the name & even without anybody else, I'll still be displaying flags with the help of many of you, Loweiy will still be running buses with the help of No-one. There doesn't have to be a choice...... jesus!

This new supporters "branch" if you like is about the terrace experience, about away travel, about making new songs, about purchasing a new drum stick etc etc. I'm sure if I came to one of your "board meetings" & suggested buying some red material for a flag I'd be laffed out of the place.............FACT!

How about "Budmak's Red Army" as the name.... I'll make a flag in your honour! Man Utd have hundreds of supporters clubs usually aligned to the bus they travel on, so do Celtic etc We are in effect by concentrating on the away travellers, the drummer, the singers making an identity for the people behind the goal who sing, make flags & do drumming

Nobody has to join, mate like I said even without a "name" - I'll make new flags, Loweiy will run buses & pick football teams.........

CHILL

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Where are you thinking off a chat on saturday?? before game.

I will support both club's :). but don't think one club could serve both need's FULLY or as enthusiastically(?)

If we work with each other a lot more will be accomplished, Lets not fall out, we all want the same thing !!!!!! Success for Stanley :):)

And a good time at the games :)

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

" about purchasing a new drum stick etc "
I would like that o and getting new skins for the drum aswel

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Name: Unnoficial Stanley Supporters Gruop
Simple but effective

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

The Stanley Flags?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I knew it would happen! Im a little disappointed that Mikey and Steve from the "Official Supporters Club" felt they had to come on to scorn the efforts of someone who is trying do something a little different. Jase has come up with a top idea ( only 2 posts say different) and should be knighted in my opinion..........well i'll get him a pint at least!

As Lowiey says, By the fans for the fans! Are the supporters club worried that their numbers will dwindle? Fear ye not Mr Vice Chair and Mr Membership Secretary (i hope thats right Henry) the supporters club have been around for to long for you to worry.

As i mentioned before, and Cammy agreed, the sooner we get a meeting organised the better..........but lets not tell the supporters club, just in case!!!!!!! ( only jokin boys)

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Although I'm far too ancient to be an Ultra, I think it's a great idea...just the thing to bring some much-needed colour, excitement and passion to the IES - and maybe even attract a few new faces. What's more, there need be no clash between official and unofficial clubs - people can be in both. It's just nice to see a bit of positive thinking after all the negativity of recent weeks.

As for the word Ultras, what's in a name? This is Accy, not Milan!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I agree with Wynonie, the enthusiam on the Clayton End is infectious, and even though I, too, am far too old to take part, it makes the match special for me. So, all power to Willie Miller for his organising and his flags, and 'Ultras' sounds like a perfectly good name to me, as long as it is about providing great support for the lads on the pitch.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

to be honest i'm not keen on the name 'ultras', i dont know why, it just sounds a bit tacky to me!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

"tacky"

next time Sampdoria, or Milan, or Fiorentina are on TV then have a look at the effect the tacky Ultras have on the pre, current & post match atmosphere, they'll be the ones with the streamers, flares, organised mosaics, huge surfed banners etc

The whole Ultra movement is about the most passionate fans showing their support, spending time, money & much energy on getting the atmosphere on the terrace right.

We could all just sip bovril & mumble to ourselves......

How about then the "Clayton End Reds"............................................. ........

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

"Stanley Utras"

Class mate, no need to change it

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

See Fella, would it not good to have a mini version of this at the Stanley

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

It will be top quality!

A Flag maybe on the way at Crimbo......started saving up hehehehe.....

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Yeah but arent the ultras the people who cause alot of croud trouble as well

But still its a good idea!!!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I think that opposition supporters may think that the Ultras are a hooligan element. I totally agree with the idea but I think the name may be mis-interpreted by the opposition. Here is a quote from a report of an incident which happened in Italy a couple of years ago

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

C what i mean!!!!

U dont want bad press before it starts!!!!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Oh my god!!!!

Its only a name........ As Jase has said its not about what its called its about what it does. Clayton end reds sounds good Jase.......

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

CER yep that definatly sounds like u really care about the club more than ultras hehehehehehe

Im not insulting u lot im just giving a suggestion But sorry for that in the future i wont help:emotion-9 :emotion-9 :emotion-9



:D

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I'm totally for the club and think it is a fantastic idea I'm just not keen on the name 'ultras'

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

exactly!!!!!

Stanley Ultras
 

Do we need a launch event for the Stanley ultras or whatevrer name is decieded?

I think we should, ideas?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Well I'd really like to get my webiste involved. if we have a launch event, as i've mentioned in another thread then if we get some ideas together about what we could do i could put a vot on my site for what to do or something for starters.

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I can come up with four or five logos for the club, once we've got a name finallised, and tbh the ultras name is growing on me!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

if you want

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

why open this thread when one is already in use about the stanley "ultras"????

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

ur saying this on the 4th page?

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Steven was refering to another thread created by accystankev.

It's been joined together.

Anyway back on topic, whens our first meeting??

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

could we not all meet up for a quick discussion on saturday?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

If we all chip in a quid or so it'll not be a problem at all.

Also, EXCELLENT choice of picture Jase, after we finally got the bloody "S" up. :D

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

I'd like to write an article for my site about this, is that k=okay?

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

and can i use some quotes from the original post?

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Just a few ideas for some logos. Can do almost anything really just tell me what you'd like me to do for a logo, thats if you want ME to do it?!


http://www.freewebs.com/accystan/ultras1.JPG

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

quality will obviously be better when i make a final idea

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Why dont u make a poll for people to vote which one is best by numbering each one


Oh and by the way can i coment u on ur use of word hehehehehe

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

actually i didn't use word, i used a great programme called 3d flash animator which i make the animations on www.accystan.co.uk with. can do loads better logos, they took me about 5 minutes

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Why don't you choose the best and put it on a massive flag, at least the size of a single sheet, then bring it along on Saturday to see what everyone thinks? I'm sure everyone would be delighted!

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Scorn ?

Did you actually read my post ?

It was highly complimentary of the man and his achievements.

But why let the facts get in the way of another chance to have a go at the Supporters' Club.

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Oh how much fun two groups of adults can have when being told to act like babies!!!!!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

So, which one isd the best then, do you think?

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

It doesn't matter with Italian football:s_zzzz:, the crowds have to make their own entertainment:)

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

not too keen on that but like the asfc in the backfround!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

any way you could send it me?

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

LAUNCH EVENT IDEA!

Hows about club members vs. ex-players in a footy match. If we can get together 11 ex-players or coaches etc. then i reckons this'll be a great launch event!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

http://www.freewebs.com/accystan/ultras2a.bmpi like this design. with the SU at the top!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

That idea looks suspiciously familiar.

:glare8:

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

may i congratulate all the folk that make the long jurneys to the south to watch stanley play,the one thing that i can say is that you can always hear where the away supporters are.last season i went to watch stanley at margate (well dover) i arrived at the ground just as the whistle went and there was a massive chear for stanley as it was a midweek game i thought thatthere must be at least 100 supporters down but there were in fact about 15 to 20 so all i can say is bring the flags bring the drums and as many people as you can and how you achive it dosent matter,stanley definatly has the best away supportersin the confrence.

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

The first thread from way back in 2004..... Well done all, couldn't have done it without ya :)

Onwards & upwards

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Blast from the past!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

It'll never work!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38: wonder if the knockers would care to comment.?:D

Re: Stanley Ultras

Stanley ultras have grown from a few to a lot, now has branched out:

Stanley Ultras
S.L.A.G.S aka stanley ladies & girlfriends [now the pitch bodyguards for Jimmy]
Mini Ultras

..............whats next ? :D:D:D

Re: Stanley Red Ultras Supporters Club
 

I like this the best as it compares what we wanted (Sampdoria's display) to what we got in 2008.... My signature v Aldershot....

Not bad eh? We got there...... Clayton End Forever!!!!!!

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Class Act again tonight.............cheers Ultras.:);)

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

Smiled to myself as I walked along the back of the Clayton End at halftime and heard one Grimsby fan saying to his mates, "these are the most fantastic fans I've ever seen". Too right, mate...they are! :)

Re: Stanley Ultras
 

That was answered ..............Steward Ultras [doing the conga as well] class!

Re: Stanley Ultras
