    What is this recent obsession with ultras all about? FFS in the old days we just made an atmosphere without pretending to be like Italian fans with over the top banners, flares and mass jumping up and down. Palace are the worst current example of this embarrasing fad.

    Here is an idea next time you go to Watford just sing, shout and show some ****in passion and as the song goes 'if no one joins in 'i'll sing on my own'

    Thank you.

    To be honest, I wish we had more of an atmosphere at home. We only start singing when we're 2-0 down cos of a cr@p ref and bring it back to 2-2 or something. The only way to get it going is if people congregate by the partition at the Vic Road end cos the sounds just doesnt travel from the Rookery. Unfortunately, the stewards will only be to happy to tell everyone to sit back down again and confiscate any banners.

    Our atmosphere is no worse than 90% of home fans in this country.

    Cov's is cr@p. Sheff United's is bloody awful, WBA's was cr@p. Most home fans are cr@p, with a few notable exceptions.

    Maybe if we had a wider variety of songs the atmosphere would improve..

    There is only so many times some can sing "Yellow Army"

    Does this mean you'll be intimidating the home fans who don't toe your line, and attack players and directors who don't agree with you ?

    This ultras thing is not a great idea. For bad examples see Argentina and Italy.

    Get all the ultras together and they can spend 3 nights a week, making banners, practicing singing and making up new songs for their fave players.

    Will be brill.

    Trying to make a group of ultras would be stupid and never work, but to have a song that gets everyone singing and jumping up and down would create an immense atmosphere. although stupid, when west brom 'boing' properly there atmosphere is mad

    Yeah fair enough it's just this whole pretending to be like Italian fans that seems to be spreading around certain grounds that grates. A bunch of middle classed kids from the cassiobury estate will hardly match the Roma or Lazio ultras.

    Go for it though anything to help improve the atmosphere.;)

    Just supposing you are able to get a ruddy big drum up to the Upper Rous whilst juggling with your motorcycle helmet won't the banging wake up the senior citizens around you WW?

    I can see many Thermos flasks being dropped in fright at the terrible din.

    This is funny to me.

    There was a time when those who support my local team used to insult and dismiss what other fans were doing or not doing to support the team by saying one of the following phrases:
    "This is not Argentina!"
    "This is not England!"
    ------------------------
    Here in The Good Old US&A, we don't really have an English orthodoxy in support style, though we use a lot of the same chants. We supplement them with Latin styles of support, Mexican chants, Central American, Argentinean songs, even Korean style chants...

    There are a lot things I think are stupid with the way people support their team, but the stupidest is telling others they should not support in their own way.

    Personally, I find the artsy craftsy giant flag waving and pom pom waving a little fruity, but I am glad that other people get to do it.

    The lads who sit near me are wealthy but VERY hard indeed - back in the day and all that I believe they may have been "faces"...

    FWIW I watched Micah Hyde at Charlton in a Jamaica V Nigeria game a few years back. The Africans were going barmy all game with tomtoms (no, not the satnav) and other big drums and instruments (not those bluddy vuvuzleas)

    It was great and I'd willingly chip in for a few drumming lessons - ProPerc on Kentish Town Road would do it - for some of the Rookery Massive to get it together a bit better than Harry or Stevie did a few years back.

    Strength in numbers and a bit of a laugh.

    The Ultras stuff is toilet. Bunch of pansies the lot of them.

    People trying to impersonate them is beyond sad and pathetic. :dismay:

    The inclusion of the word ULTRAS in your cliques name makes your job of getting people to support your efforts very difficult. You may as well call yourself the Watford Taliban or Watford Tax Increase Association.

    Try dropping ULTRAS and coming up with something original to WFC, and you might be surprised at the support you end up getting.

    You can still do all the things you plan to do, just don't call yourselves ULTRAS.

    Not a aggresive thing just a name this is more to improve the atmosphere non voilent. If it was voilent it would be called a firm.

    Can you imagine anything like this in the rookery vs teams of no interest

    Stuff like that just wouldn't work in the rookery, watford fans aren't famed for taking loads of flags, banners, ticket tape and all that other dribble to home and away games.

    anyway, most watford fans would complain about persistent standing and the stewards would certainly not allow it
