Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Yes, it will be the second Monday of the month in a day or two, so all Members of the Accrington Stanley Supporters' Club are asked to convene in the Sports Bar/Clubhouse for 7.30 p.m.

Lots of interesting conversation , and we've got some important topics to discuss.

Can't give too much away, of course, but I understand that one of our Members has a brilliant idea which involves buying wristbands from China at 78p each and selling them for £5.

Personally, I don't think anyone would be daft enough to buy them, but hey . . . nobody ever went bust by underestimating public taste.

Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

OK Henry you know a lot don't you. One I didnt get them from China, two they cost a lot more than that I can assure you......and as I have said before the money made (small amount) will go into the Stanley Ultras fund for future merchandise.

Me, Shurm and Lee aren't doing this to make money. We have spent a fair bit on these bands but we are not in it for the money it is just for the fun of it. Obviously we will get back the money that we have paid for the bands by selling them but the profit will go to the 'Stanley Ultras' and not to us.

If you are not interested in buying one of the bands then thats OK, we didn't expect everyone to be but why then do you have to question it? It's a bit of fun and the bands are a great idea and I know many members of the 'ULTRAS' think it's a good idea.

Just keep your nose out

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

China 0.79p bloody hell we have been ripped off !!! I can assure you we have paid more than double that and with the postage and packing and hassle it takes to sort these things the profit is hardly worth it !! Like Smiffy said we didn't do it to make money anyone who thinks otherwise can come up to me at the next game and have a word if they like :) . I've paid for all the goods its me that stands to lose out the lads came up with this popular idea, I said measure response first and it came back very positive. If no one pays for the bands its me personally that loses out, so again if your not happy with anything we have done come and have a word I will be more than happy to listen.;)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I think people realise they are not worth the £5 but that is not the point. People are paying the extra to support the ultras and allow for more flags and displays on matchdays.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I don't think he's talking about the Ultras bands....someone from the OSC must have the same idea but have sourced them!

If he is having a dig about the Ultras then............ the streamers cost me (& therefore the Ultras) over £100 & the coach is just about breaking even!

I don't think he is talking about the Ultras bands though!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I think he is........

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

so do i.......

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

henry you as everybody else has a choice, as your name is not down on the list of the first people to recieve these ultra bands i take it that you dont want one, i am not a member of the suporters club, but i spend an awfull lot of time on this website and on the ultras site trying to get as much info as posible. i dont know how many away games you get to but im at most of the ones in the southern half of the country i may have met you and not known it, but at the end of the day they do a brill job home and away and if the profits are used for the purpose intended fair play to them, unless the suporters club wishes to help fund the ultras i cant see that it is any of there buisness

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I think willie miller has had one too many valiums today....

You wont see my name on the list either.. I think I am a bit old for bright red wrist bands :) However I do think its a great idea and would offer my 100% support to smiffy, shurm and lee for having the numption to do something for the fans. Well done lads..

henry. your mistake (in my humble opinion) was to post your slur in the same message as your supporters club announcement as it makes it look like the official supporters club are attacking the efforts of fans associated with a differnt club when in actual fact its your own personal views.. which like tin monkey and kempy you are of course free to air just like any other stanley fan is :)

Sorry but I had to say it.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

yep i am 100% behind the idea of them wristbands.

Remarkable idea smiffy, shurm and lee.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Henry just because the might of the accrington stanley ultras is starting to take the power away from your little toilet seet convention i dont know why you are so miffed off by it

100% behind the ultras in anything they do
as for the bands you just wish you would have thought of it earlier

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Why is there an arguement
we both support the same team

i thought Ultras was to liven things up at away games I.E
streamers, flags, noise etc

and the supporters club do there bit

for christ sake we both support Stanley
so why are we arguing over some bands

if u want a band order one if you dont well dont

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

thanks baldy and kipax youve said what i was trying to say just felt that henry was being a bit out of order, and steven theres no need for that tone

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

baldy .. "we" arn't arguing so calm down little fella :)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Erm... why I am being mentioned in the same sentence as Kempy? http://www.mirmama.co.uk/Smilies/suspect.gif

And Steven, you're well out of line with your comments. http://www.mirmama.co.uk/Smilies/nono.gif

I don't think this should be reduced to some petty name calling exercise, as it kind of undermines the worth of both clubs.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

TM your mock ups of the bands with the name of accrington stanley on them where quite disgusting IMHO .. But thats all it is.. IMHO :)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

mine too.........

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

well sorry for any inconvenience that i may have caused ;)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Ask any football supporter in the country what they think of when you mention the word Ultras in association with football and you'll get the same reply. However you want to dress up the facts, Ultra style organisations are associated with right-wing, often racist, football hooligan elements.

I never for one moment suggested that the 'Stanley Ultras' were any of those things, but I would wager that a fair number of others around the country will have thought that. Maybe those people are misinformed? But it doesn't stop them from believing that.

I have no problem with the people who want to promote the name of Accrington Stanley and bring colour to all matches, but I personally believe that the name is ill-chosen. That is my honest opinion.

The mock-up of the wristbands was very tongue-in-cheek and I assumed that it was taken that way too. It was merely a wind-up following on from a thread on Confguide where a number of supporters from other Conference clubs had expressed similar views to my own on the suitability of the name Ultras.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Even if they are making money i dont care, its your choice if you want one or not. But dont go dissing peoples ideas.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

& Left wing, & non-political..............................

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

well i was on a website this morning saying how ultras are growing in the U.K
and if people think that ULTRAS are racist and are known as hooligans
well we will have to inform them that their incorrect and show them what
we do I.E make a good atmosphere and throw streamers and make flags

but we cant get streamers and flags for free

so stanley ultra bands are a way of raising the profile of stanley ultras
and making money for flags and streamers

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Sorry for a humble female opinion, the stanley ultra work is outstanding BUT yes until i knew what it was all about i did think that with the name 'stanley ultras' that some extreme hooligan element had attached itself to our brilliant club and sadly a few misinformed people have told me of the same view. OBVIOUSLY I have set them straight!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

IMO if people are thinking this then there should have been more thought when choosing the name.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I agree fearon but its not the stanley ultras fault the idea is fantastic its the idiot hooligans who give people these opinions

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Is this a slag the Ultras off thread???

Henry has told you Supporters Club members when it is then childishly started mocking me and the Ultras themselves......

The idea of the ultras is superb, the things they do for the club is brilliant. If people think it is a hooligan group then they must be strange, you say other people when you told them about the ultras hear the name then automatically think oh hooligans???

WHY????

If it wasnt for the ultras then we wouldnt get the following we do for games which will then affect the performance of the players. We all know that the ultras is not a hooligan group and thats all that matters all the other people can think what they like because obviously they know nout.

Now ZOMBIE can you step in here because this is frankly doing my head in because of people slagging off the best supporters group the club has got

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

any stanley fan can be a stanley ultra so why didnt you say that a i think
ULTRAS is the wrong word

to be an ultra you dont have to be

aged 18 to 25
wear burrbery colours
walk round with a 10 man walk
and your nickname dos'nt need to be CHAV

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I agree that the ultra's is a great thing for the club, but with people thinking its a hooligan group then wouldnt it be better to change the name, therefore people who dont know what the "stanley ??????" is they wont think its a hooligan group

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Baldy why you relating hooligans with Burnley Fans???????

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

sorry smiffy cant agree with you on getting zombie involved im waiting for henry to reply to all the posts that the ultras have put on here, he fulled a toppick and should be allowed to reply

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

People can think what they want they obviously dont know a bit of background knowledge about us

I dont care what people think and there is not any chance of us changing the name

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

HELP! God smiffy i'm sorry for any offence caused i just think its bad press for the fantastic job ultras are doing when misinformed people think its a hooligan element

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

well said baldy

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

The thing is maidstoneaccy why did Henry have to bring in my idea and then slag the ultras off in a thread that he associated with the OSC. So that to me by the secretary of the OSC writing this message and slagging the ultras off is just out of order....

Jealous maybe?

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Well keep the name the same then, but thier will be people who dont know what the Stanley Ultra's are slagging them off

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I agree fearon sometimes ignorance is bliss and i won't air my opinion on the subject any longer!!!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Good for them they obviously havent attended a Stanley match then or therefore they will not be calling us hooligans...

People can have their own opinion on the Ultras but we know different

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Madestoneaccy and baldy,

Are all Burnley fans hooligans ermmmm......... NO
So why dont you STFU and stop labeling all Burnley fans under one name

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

No smiffy your right they might not attend stanley matches and they aren't going to if they think theres hooligans at the ground!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

well said tinkerbelle

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Obviously you have NO idea whatsoever in what you are talking about

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Whatever smiffy!!!!!! That because i'm female is it? Females aren't meant to know about footy are we?

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

madestoneaccy and baldy - sorry miss read hehehehehe

UTC!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Well you don't.........

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

no smiffy i dont think he is jellous just uninformed, as a fan from far away i belive what you, jase and all the outher active and non active ultras of accrington stanley do a fine job, i also belive that henry and his group of supporters do a great job, i also belive that if the 2 groups work together and praise eachouthers achivements then you would both grow as is the club

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

fearo i said BURRBURY colours

and tinkerbelle course you can have a view

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

And with fans like you who needs a dubious name to bring the ultras pass press! So i take it female fans aren't welcome with the ultras?

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

And where did you quote me saying that????

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

anno you did baldy - i deffinitley thought it said burnley though, i just glanced at it and got a bit miffed off.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Well if females know nothing about football why would we want to be part of the ultras to make butties for you or some other medial task while the boys enjoy the football!!!! U have really managed to rile me! I'm a well within my right to air any view i wish!!! I hope more SENIOR members of the ultras don't have your mentally!!!!!!!!

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

tinkerbell i was at gravesend on the 28th december and stood with all the outher ultras singing we had the drummer we hhad at least 3 females may have been more so yes all females are welcome to away games home games and there own opinion

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Thankyou maidstone

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

I didn't say all females I said you because some of the crap you have been posting you obviously don't have a clue

The ultras have lots of female members......

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Just tell them to forgot all their misconceptions as we are a DIFFERENT kind of Ultras group! Then post this picture

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

tinkerbell at gravesend the ammount of noise we made was so great that after 20 minutes of the game someone from the home support had gone home and got a drum to try and get some noise from home support

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Now that is football at it's greatest! Friendly rivally!;)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Well done ultra's the noise you make at games is ace, but the drum is annoying

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

the drum is esential

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Its a better forum when people are like this. Most of the time its boring because there is about 1 post every hour.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

The drum just ****es you off

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

fearon1 in the past people have moaned if it gets a bit to heavy but thats what discusions are aboutt getting everybodys verdict, i agree with you its better like this

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

The drum is top quality its better at the away games though UNTIL we get a roof.....

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

fearon im 45 and surely if i can put up with the noise you can even me mum comes to away games with me and she says that if the drummer boy is quite then so is the singing by the way she is 70

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Its gets heated maidstoneaccy when people feel really strong about something and it really p***es me off when misinformed people think we have an hooligan element at stanley but again i don't blame the ultras they are doing a fantastic job

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

how on earth did this topic grow so quick????

Oh and tinker dont be so defensive no one made any sexist remarks but u went a little womens rights movement back there "is it cause i is black" style, chill.

I just think the origional post was very childish and being (secretery is it??) of the supporters club Henry should know better, no ones trying to take anything away from the supporters club its existed a long time and done a great job but now they have to accept theres a new kid on the block that i feel they cant compete with (aswell as being totally different) and should just try work together, you dont have to be one or the other you can be both.

Lee

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

it will take henry about 6hours to read all these posts

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Nope, Next down south game you will have to introduce yourself to me

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

leave henry alone hes only on got to the bottom of the first page ;)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Defensive accystanfan can you blame me after being told off a kid i know nothing about football! I've probaly been to more accy and burnley matches than that lads had nappy changes!!! My Mum and Grandma has been a season ticket holders at burnley for more years than i can ever remember! The whole family are football mad and he tells me i know nothing about football!! What other reason would he base this idea on?

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

baldy do they teach english at ST Christophers

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

100% agree with you there Lee

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

smiffy if you look at kipax site gravesend match pic img 9332 jpg im the big fella between me mum and me sister (she follows maidstone a bit like us they went bust and are just coming back)

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

So what did he base his idea on then? I asked him to quote the 'crap' that he said i posted i ain't had a reply yet

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

She wasnt on about this season she was on about overall

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Well your last post to this one sums up your crap

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

just as i said earlier in the thread

stanley ultras and the supporters club both support accrington stanley

so why argue ???

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

because argueing is better than seeing this forum have 1 post an hour.

Re: Supporters' Club Meeting, this Monday 10th
 

Thankyou fearon i have kids to bring up now i have been going on the two grounds since before i can remember
