Can a club the size of STFC afford to have differing factions amongst it's support ?
Do the Ultras see themselves as separate or in someway more loyal than other Town fans ?
Can the acrimony that is beginning to appear amongst Town fans be repaired ?

We do not see ourselves as "more loyal" or "better" than other fans. For about the one millionth time, we are just a group of friends who want to sit together, sing non stop and have a laugh. End of ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I think theres room for all but i also believe that whetever the Ultras set out to achieve has been distracted by the amount of rancour caused. Great to see the younger element taking a pro active measure in generating atmosphere but they need to do in a much more inclusive manner in my opinion.

It is great to see young supporters getting involved. I don't care what they call themselves, the club would be a poorer place without them.

Best thing they can do is go back to the creche , they just ruin the atmosphere rather than improve it

It is an inclusive thing.
A few of us have stated we would prefer a singing section and this for me is what the Ultras offer.
I'm pi$$ed i've not been able to make any of the games recently but now i have tickets booked for the xmas period.

I've brought this up on other threads but some people do not like a noisy atmosphere. There have been times when i have started to sing with some others and we have just been looked at like filth. The opportunity is now here to congregate and boost the volume. The SaKop is born ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif)

I have not seen anyone upset or any "rancour" caused by the Ultras and I always sit in the south stand, the noise they make is great. Any trouble has come from slighty older fans who have had their noses put out of joint/ jealous at what the ultras have created. Good on the Ultras!!!!

We spoke to one or two Ultras in the pub before the game yesterday (one had the Staffs Uni top on? ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cheesy.png) , very knowledgeable about the game and enthusiastic. Whilst I may not be the biggest singer in the world, I really support what they are trying to do. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Are the ULTRAs ex Riversiders, or are they new lads who have started from fresh?. I thought at the start of the season the singers congregated over in 17/18/19, but now it seems the younger element , or an element have decided blck 9 is the place. Myself, I sit in the South Stand but not in block 9, luv to hear the singing and join in myself from time to time.

Most of us are ex riversiders, hence my user name, we were in block 17 but felt it just wasnt happening so we decided to move to block 9 so we could have more of a laugh and more importantly all sit together.
This was somethin we couldnt do in block 17/18!
