    Following feedback from the various on-line forums and our facebook community cause page

    The 'Ulltras wish to clarify the following:-

    1) 'Ulltras is a rallying call to bring like-minded supporters together to effect atmosphere change.
    2) Any supporter led movement from the city of Hull will only ever reflect who we already as city fans.
    3) 'Ulltras do not seek to replicate the flag waving, drum thumping, or kazoo blowing of so-called ultra groups at other clubs, we are different such a sight would not be true to who Hull City are.
    4) We are not seeking to copy italian fans. Yes the name and some imagery was inspired by them but that is as far as it goes. We are Hull City first and foremost.
    5) We were spurred into action after seeing laughable attempts to 'generate atmosphere' at other clubs with all sorts of stunts which made us dread to think it could happen at ours
    6) We are not trying to create a fake carnival nor a group for which membership is required, we ARE seeking to be a catalyst for a "gathering of the clans".
    7) Our aim is to galvanise those of similar mind to achieve a change in seating policy. We want change to bring together passionate supporters at both home and away games who find that ticket and stadium policies currently disperse them, and worse still often set them in conflict with other fans who do not want to sing, stand and support with passion
    8) We want to effect other changes to aspects of the KC stadium to improve it as a place for fans to display their passion for the club instead of just sponsors. The lack of space and structure to hang flags from is an early priority and something the club can do something about NOW by making it easier to do so. If the club are reading and support the 'Ulltras aims then make this change start to happen
    9) You don't have to wear a badge, join a club, or be approved to be an 'Ulltra, just going to the facebook page and simply 'liking' it will build numbers and if you make comments it builds more of a voice thatthe club already say they want to listen to.

    Future activity:-
    The macclesfield game is important for us, lower numbers in the ground should lead to more flexiblity of seating.
    We call on all 'Ulltras and like-minded fans to do the following

    At the moment of kick-off visibly and clearly move towards empty seats in the lower E numbers of the east stand. From this consolidation we aim to create more noise and passion than a normal full house. This will send a clear message to the club regarding the worth and sense of creation of a designated singing section, which is our goal for the 2012/13 season

    Finally for those still asking who are the 'Ulltras?

    If you like to sing, support, and would prefer to stand at the match then it is simple, it is YOU and the 1,000s of other people like YOU

    LETS MAKE SOME NOISE"

    Hull or people of Hull ought to order Ull'tra shirts. Set up a site or something I'd much rather wear one than the new kit for £40. Create Black and Orange ones oh and Mr Pathetis I'd like 20% of your profit.
    I'm in.

    I'm all for a bit of a sing song at the KC and lifting the atmosphere and increasing our hardcore travelling fanbase so good luck to you. Anybody know how many are going tonight? I expect quite a few to buy at the turnstiles.

    And 4Dee do you mean Amber and Black?

    I like the idea of the 'Ulltras, but after tonights game they have a long, long way to go

    If there mantra is Sing, Stand & Support then one out of three isn't very good

    There was standing. :)
    There wasn't any singing :(
    and as for supporting, I don't think that booing the players (again) is supporting the team/ club. The performance tonight possibly deserved something of this ilke, I almost felt like joining in, but I never have and never will boo them. :(
