Dunno.  The hardcore fans (firm) of Inter(?) are the Ultras, I thought perhaps a few town fans decided to start a Swindon chapter.

Most European clubs have groups of hardcore supporters called Ultras, not just Inter. Some have violent elements such as the neo-nazi Ultra Sur but most are just the equivalent of our casuals, I guess.

I assume they just fancied making a flag and ultras sounded good. Except it was upside down yesterday.

SAS is our firm yeah, if they still exist?

Most of them are banned i think?

Apparently they put it upside down to protest about the way the clubs being run. :roll:

I think it was started by some fans who were originally from Spain or Italy.

Yeah, I walked up Shrivvy Road with them after the play-off first leg in 03/04, they went into a house up there. They looked Italian but I thought I might be spectacularly wrong so didn't mention it  :D

Our firm is the SAS however most lads this year are being ultra careful as the world cups in the summer and any trouble will be met with a banning order.

Our firm is 'The Sarcastic Cunts' firm, we basically turn up at a pub on matchday and constantly take the piss out of each other until 5pm. :)
