Cracking read, never really understood what the Ultras were and how they came about, excuse the ignorance. Now I know, think loud and proud but on speed!

As a matter of interest, how many Ultras are left?

So in summary the ultra's had a huge crowd when Town were succesful now there are only a few remaining.

And they like going to Italian club matches.

Oh and they like flares, not of the trouser variety.

We were a group of five youngsters back then, we kinda mulled around in the back ground.  Was there a short fella called Quincie, a tall lad called Orville (as named by some away fans).

A small handfull left now I think.  Was with them at Accy, about 6 or 7 of the guys still go regularly as far as I know.  To be fair, if I'd remembered who they were and what they used to do, then L&P may well not have started but an attempt at a proper resurgance of their group.  We combined for the 3 away days we've done so far with them.

rob, slate me if you like, just an opinion, but on away days it seems a bit gay for the red wallpaper to be out as it rips half way through and looks silly.  Why not prepare little bags of ticky tac in red and white that everyone can throw that would look ace if every person did it.

Just an idea

Yep, the banquet roll (that's what has been used) will be replaced, especially after it's turned by white top pink!

Thinking of getting some material strips made if that is needed again and the ticker tape would cert have to be away (it's banned at CG HQ, as are normal paper displays - you know, like the one they can clean up at England games).  Accy was great on Saturday, said so long as we can find a few people to help clean up then off you go and do what you like within the regs.
