    Do these numpties actually believe that they are "ultras" just because they stand together at away matches and chant?
    I mean West Stand!!
    Where do they SIT in the West Stand, the family area?
    Kids and fat blokes making out that they are a threat is actually just bonkers.

    The West Stand Ultra's made a big difference to the noise levels at the Ipswich cup game and I wish they were in the north west corner for every game.

    At the moment they can only use that north west corner in cup games, as there are season ticket holders in those seats for league games.

    Something that the club are looking at changing for next season.

    Anything that improves the atmosphere at the KC should be commended and supported.

    Get them school kids back. Their singing was impressive against Burnley.

    We should have loads of jump scare videos on the screen pre match so some of the coffin dodgers suffer heart attacks paving the way for new youthful rowdy supporters. ;)

    Just to clarify, they are normally in E1-3, but went West Stand for the cup (to lots of tutting from the senior residents nearby.

    The "West Stand Ulltras" chant is a bit of a joke.

    When they were in the West Stand, there was no singing in the East, which highlights that it is the small minority who get the whole stand singing. It usedto be the same in Kempton.

    Calling themselves "ultras" is a bit daft isn't it? In my mind I associate that term with stabby Italian fascists...not necessarily a positive association for the club

    Ah yes, that is far more obvious...

    Didn't see the apostrophe in any previous posts, I guess you had to be there...

    I accept the Ull tra aspect, but I don't think that these could be the same lot. Most of the chants where led by a central group yesterday who actually knew the words.
    These lads tried constantly to start one chant that was rubbish and no one joined in.

    Even more obvious when you realise it is actually 'Ulltras.

    Also they brought the Ghetto of Excellence flag to the West stand with them.

    Hang on a minute, when the atmosphere is crap, it's a reason to slag non singers off and now people are getting slagged off for trying to be vocal?!? Is there any wonder people feel stupid singing songs if this is the response to it.

    Cant see what harm the ulltras are doing, at least they are trying to be positive. In fact good on them "Up the Ulltras" :emoticon-0150-hands

    Tbh i don't think the atmosphere has being half bad at home matches recently, far better than it has being. And the away games that i have being to including Reading and Burnley have being very good atmosphere's. Don't think we can have a go at a set of fans for trying to sing can we?

    Think the same deal is on for the Sunday League kids against Donny, taking my lad for £1 and its only costing me £10.

    In the 1980's I was on business in Egypt and England had a friendly in Cairo, which I got invited too. Overall it was a great day out, with G&T's back at the embassy afterwards. But the best part was to fill the ground, because ticket prices were too high for the masses, they got the army in to fill the seats, and had a sergeant major orchestrating the chanting. Maybe that's what we need at the KC, you will chant or else.<doh>
