I think I might be an "Ultra"
Just reading an article on Football Hooliganism and came across the following:
"‘Ultras’ describes fanatical support offered by supporters to their club regardless of the club’s results, weather, quality of play, etc."
That kind of sums me up, but some prefer the watered down term of "Happy Clapper"

Re: I think I might be an "Ultra"
when you consider Napoli. Lazio and Marseille's ultra's attacked their own training grounds I would say the definition is debatable

I could be a candidate considering I only live a stones throw from our own Barnfield Training Camp. Come to think of it, I could throw some stones rather than a direct personal assault on the facility.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:30 pmwhen you consider Napoli.

If the pavements are Icy I may need to postpone my incursion until Spring.

Re: I think I might be an "Ultra"
Unfortunately “Happy clapper” as become a derogatory term, used to put down those who wish to be positive.

I'm a "skulka", driving to and from games from Staffordshire - well, when we used to play matches - a pretend fan, according to some on here, because I don't actually live in the area.

Re: I think I might be an "Ultra"
Mostly it's not true about Ultras anyway. Italian fans are very fickle and riven with politics.
Lazio gates vary between 60,000 and 20,000 and the Ultras are often boycotting the team or falling out with the club.
Saying that a big game at the Olimpico or San Siro is a real treat in terms of noise and atmosphere
