The name needs changing boys, I have thought about it lately and it could get us into trouble at away games and also people who dont know us may misinterpret us as people.
How about South Stand Barmy Army, or Block 9 Salopians.
Some people who want to move to congregate with us, dont want to as they dont want to be associated with the name ultras.
Let me know what you think.

Yeah, it does sound hooliganish, I've been thinking that. How about "The Clique"? That's not taken Oh wait, you mean the other Dan...

Erm thats going to be hard one boys! It took me two weeks to think of a name when signing up for this forum I ended up with what my nephew calls me cause he can not say my name ;D I am sure whatever you come up with it will be good! The south stand Barmy Army sounds good, and will sound good singing it, but it might be too Wolves as they use that allot

Call yourself The South Standers, but shorten it to 'The SS' on your flags if you need the space..

Its sad that people automatically associate the word "ultras" with this type of thing, but I see here you are coming from.
If we are to change it, we need to go for the South Stand Barmy Army IMO

We should change it too South Stand Barmy Army, or Si has just pm'd me with a good one, The Loggerheads.
But Sam made a cracking flag, with south stand barmy army on.

Call yourself 'The Loggerheads', it's better than South Stand Barmy Army. It's original and unique to the club, so any flags or tops you get made up can feature the name and the actual loggerheads themselves and look good. And it's good for your reputation and recruitment efforts, as everyone involved with supporting the club would be more than happy to go under that banner.
If you call it 'South Stand Barmy Army', a) presumably, the club are going to name the stand at some point anyway so it could become redundant, and b) you're less likely to get any west standers involved, due to some already formulated stand loyalty.

True, but will "The Loggerheads" fit into any songs etc?

well, it's only three syllables, so technically anything you can fit 'shrewsbury' in to, you can fit loggerheads in to, surely? You don't need to use 'The' in the songs. South Stand Barmy Army only fits in to the one song, so loggerheads broadens your horizons in many ways.
But it's your group, and it's not the name that's particularly important is it? It's what you're doing.

I wasn't trying to shoot you down for you saying we should call ourselves "The Loggerheads" I just couldn't see that it would fit into any songs, but you have proved me wrong We will discuss it on Saturday

Haha, i was just supporting Si's suggestion because he's been a vocal fan of my (former) hair in the past. But it is better. We're Shrewsbury, We're Barmy We are the loggerheads. You can have that one for free

Songs should be easy...
Logg-er-heads, wa-oh Logg-er-heads, wa-oh We support. The Shrews. Bury. Both on the land, and sea...
OK, could be bettered but you can see the idea...

Russ you being brainwashed, its load of propaganda brainwashing mate, the jealousy on here is unbelievable, What propaganda? What brainwashing? What jealousy? Are you actually trying to get people to join you or not? What you are doing is a great idea which I hope catches on. We have had a contructive discussion about the name with different people posting different views. Other people are offering you advice based on what they believe, which you would do well to consider, rather than just start having a pop at the very people you want to join you! Like I have said since the beginning. I think it is a great idea. But you have no idea what the "Ultras" around the world are going to do in the next 6-12 months. Put "Ultras" into Youtube Why on earth would any rational person risk being associated with that? No-one doubts this is what you actually mean But why risk the confusion?

I have to say on the matter... if you want a spokesperson for matter on B and A use Samtheshrew... He was very helpful on trying to get a footy game organised, and seems the most balanced and sensible on this matter... As for Dand (Zark) or what ever he is now, your the biggest problem of the Ultras for me... you seem to want to turn it into a them and us situtation, which eventually will backfire on you...

South Stand Barmy Army sounds good, and you could sing it to the same tune as 'blue army'.
