North Stand Ultras ??

[Jimmy Grimble]

Gotta love the Ultras' enthusiasm and energy - and, given the name, their naivety too.

They're basically Albion's version of Jedward.

This just about sums it up.

 

[NMH]

They're just kids who don't know what Ultras are ( neither do I come to that) but everyone likes the bouncy chant, and the flag just adds to the fun.

What exactly ARE "Ultras" then?
I know what they want to look like, and I imagine that's pretty much like skinheads were when I was in school, at around 14 or 15.
If this has become like 'ultra supportive singing chanting and flag-holding fans', then I wouldn't knock it at all - why not have a section of fans who pride in noisy support?

The title does seem a bit dodgy though

 

[Simster]

Who cares how old they are or even look? I'm not particularly thrilled with the 'Ultras' name either but the lads do sing up - a lot! Every time I've seen them they've been a haven of consistent noise and fair play to them.

This. Give them a break!

Repeat post sorry

Good work ultras. I was there on Wednesday and you done a good job. Nice to see a sub group of BHA fans form and grow. Hopefully your enthuisam will continue to attract new fans. Sussex...sussex ... Sussex by the sea, sea sea.

I think you guys are great and are adding more charm to our vocal support.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

yeah, some of the banners look good, I think it's time to put some of those George Crosses to bed though, they look out of date and generally crap #puts tin hat on#

I did feel sorry for the young lad trying to hang the flag. After being sent from one side of the stand to the other by the stewards, he tried to hang it on the railing on the front row of the seating. They even asked the old guy sitting there if he minded, purely to be courteous, but the miserable old git objected.

I sit in the North stand and I have no issue with them, the atmosphere is good, the place rocks and I for one work my nuts off during the week and for those 90 mins on a saturday, its the time when I let off all the stress and money worry that you have for 6 and 3/4 days of the week with a good old sing song. Long may they continue.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I think they are brilliant

It's obvious that the reason people are moaning is because they are pining for that 'special' Withdean atmosphere

 

[Gazwag]

My god not this again, the critism is becoming boring.

It seems that some people will not be happy until the whole ground is quiet and people have to sit on their hands to avoid upsetting the Goldstone Northstanders in WSU/WSL/ES/1901 who are too old and too jealous of the BHA youth.

If you don't like the song then make up one yourself and SING it, it might even catch on and drown out what you believe to be annoying.

We have a new stadium and its going to take time for the fans to bed in and feel comfortable, its only had one league game, you cannot really count the League Cup game as the were so many not in their usual seats.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Are we in danger of a bit of football snobbery here?

Let them do what they want.

This, Its not my bag at all but let them get on with it, it will could help with the atmosphere as well as attract more youngsters into following the Albion

 

[kip]

I like them, their name and everything they stand for

 

[JJB]

They sound like out 'YOOF' from about 5 years ago. Most of them are now on banning orders/stll running round causing a nuicance.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

 

[Sussex]

best of luck to them...!
Any thing that up's the tempo is fine by me.

Uh oh Deja vu, in one form or another and almost word for word this will run and run. 5 or 6 years in and we are still getting posts along the lines of "so you ultras think you are a tough "firm" do you ? etc etc and Do you have to bang the drum quite so loud ? we are trying to sleep over here old boy ......

Difference is your place is half empty

 

[xenophon]

My first visit to the North Stand will be on Tuesday night, I'm interloping from the CAULDRON of NOISE that is the East Stand, I hope you're going to be noisy

What difference ? I was talking about your fledgling ultras's unless you are all Ultra's in which case your post makes sense.

I should know by now not to post non aggressive or even mildly positive posts on another teams forum as there is always some dour depressive out there that will try to make a point regardless of whether they have one or not.

Gazwag, I am both old and jealous, but I love the way these kids are trying to create some noise and atmosphere. I certainly encourage everything they do to support the team. Keep it up fellas.
