joshjag Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Sounds good to me!! The only thing is, it will need to be a group that will consistantly be there (including away matches)and support the team and not only for the big games. Organising displays, banners etc. is all in the act of tryin to bring a bit better atmosphere to the club. No harm done.

Id happily participate Good man, we're still looking for numbers, they'll all be begging to join once we get up and running , and wether we decide to brand ourselves 'Ultras' or not will be entirely up to the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig-W Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Having been with the home crowd for the Stirling vs Auchinleck Talbot Scottish Cup game last season, I was surprised at the amount of abuse and moaning coming from the home fans. I suspect any stranger at any game will pick up on the negativity regular home supporters learn to tune out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Main Stand Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I don't see any problem with a Thistle Ultras group. We need a good atmosphere at Firhill. Good luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOVAN JAG Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 the problem is that the atmosphere at firhill is dying with every game, i want to help bring it back   Fair play tae ye mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BermondseyBoy Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I aint got any bother with improving the atmosphere but little kids trying to copy what they see ac milan doing aint the answer.Stevie lennon wanted to come here to score goals to copperwire us into the spl and get in the rangers team.Gd premise but it didn't work .Plenty of projects and things with good intentions but if there gonna fail in the end.They don't deserve your support for the sake of it. Â Ultras aint got the nasty streak.Plastic atmosphere for clubs like livi.Real clubs shouldn't need displays to whip up the atmosphere.Should be loud and hate filled already.

Ultras Thistle Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Yep ...we saw it a few weeks back and the replies to the groundhoppers are on the wearethistle site on the penultimate page  http://www.wearethistle.co.uk/index.php?/topic/159-worst-fans-partick-thistle/  Sorry mate i didnt see you already had a thread on this article Edited May 30, 2010 by Ultras Thistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 The sentiment here is exactly the kind of theing I'd be up for but a couple of things... Â Are you looking for people to join up to this group or just join in? Â Branding us anything is a bit dodgy, 'Ultras' and 'Shed boys' are especially *cheese*. I like the idea of 'The Firhill Aggro' but maybe the use of Aggro might come across as a bit casual-esque. Â As for needing to get regular groups of fans going home and away who like to create an atmosphere, we have those folk already. The are in about three or four wee groups but ogften are in the same areas of the stands at away games and all in The Shed for home games. We try to get some singing on the go, there are a fair number of us and it would be an ideal place to start with this idea of yours. You might be one of the guys in the groups I speak of so you will know who to speak to, if you aint one of those guys/gals then I'm sure the ones on here will make themselves known. Â Good luck with this, good to see someone put a bit of effort into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultras Thistle Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Hearts used to have a Gorgie Aggro which fought with other fans but werent casuals. It does sound quite casual-esque though. Â Anyway it isnt the name that matters its the atmosphere that this group will be able to generate. The regular fans are already going to games so we just need to try and get those who are willing to participate in singing etc to sit together and raise the noise level. Â We may not be able to do anything about the quality on the pitch but we can help to improve the atmosphere and make firhill a great place to watch football again.

It would be ideal for away games, what's more likely to improve the atmosphere at Firhill is maybe 10/15 of these group members in each section of the JHS (outwith the shed) to sing along and try to get those around them singing too. Remember the recent rangers games where the usual 'singers' were dotted about the stand, great atmosphere. But the way the JHS is structured would be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are more likley to sing if people round about them are singing and this would add to the overall atmosphere. There is no point in just one corner of the stand singing.  The atmosphere at the rangers game was brilliant but we need to try and emulate that for every game and not just for the special occasion  Any more suggestions on how we could try and impropve the atmosphere would be greatly appreciated Edited May 30, 2010 by Ultras Thistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickywalkerfanclub Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I sincerely hope that eejit that used to go on about the green brigade on jagsforum.net isnt involved in any way...

It was just a suggestion but a few people dont like it so we will be called whatever the majority who are willing to particpate wants to be called. Â I want to change my name on the forum to get rid of the ultra part in my name but dont know how Thats why its got ultras in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Good luck with this, good to see someone put a bit of effort into it Agree with your points. The usual "shed boys" would hopefully be up for something like this as well as the people trying to start the group. Banners, displays etc. are all things im sure most fans would like to see more of and starting this could bring a better atmosphere at both firhill and away games.

Fair play to the guys who are trying to gee the place up, but the Rangers games are examples of matches where there's an unforced buzz about the place. A 'wear your colours with pride' day or a 'Fill Firhill' are good in isolation, but they become suffocating if you attempt too many of them.
