Prince Buaben Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Seems that Edinburgh City have acquired an Ultras following.

SpikeDudley Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd been to a couple of games where they were present. They were harmless - just a bunch of young lads having fun. Whoever made the decision at City to ban them really has to take a look at themselves - for the first time ever they have people attending the matches and what do they do? - they ban them!

OTT Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 should bring them to tynie more reasonable priced tickets and we could get this type of atmosphere (unbelievable its only 105 people hahaha!!) Kind of ridiculous this gets attention though, hibs fans invaded asda after the semi against falkirk which evidently is worse than singing in mc donalds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd been to a couple of games where they were present. They were harmless - just a bunch of young lads having fun. Whoever made the decision at City to ban them really has to take a look at themselves - for the first time ever they have people attending the matches and what do they do? - they ban them! Scottish football in a nutshell! As someone who goes to a good number of City games, and going by the club's statement (>>HERE<<), I think the decision was down to two things: Cost and being told by the Police/Landlord to stop them getting in. From what I gather, the extra that was coming in, was going out again for security/police. It was great that they added some atmosphere as the usual 50 or so fans barely make a noise. To double the crowd and have them with drums et al wasnt too bad. Abusing the Spartans fans was fair game as well I say. The EEN article is a bit embarrassing. They were hardly 'thugs' and nor were they 'yobs'. A bit of trivial sensationalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 How does anyone become a supporter of that club ? Do their parents not give them the numbers of the buses that pass Tynecastle...............must be great at school........what did you do............... I went to watch Edinburgh City in a public park. Still great enthusiasm shown and I suppose it gets them out the house... and to be fair to them hardly look like thugs compared to some walking the streets.

Alan_R Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Pretty sad actually. Certainly worse things these lads could be doing. Give them a break. As others have said its the reason the game in scotland is on its knees. Perhaps the positives could be that it might show if we took a few leafs out the germans books, and offered free transport/cheap tickets to youths then there are some out there who would take that opportunity?

peter_hmfc Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sadly this is true! Fair play to them for turning up and vocally supporting their team. Do they actually support them though?

gordon_hmfc Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I played in a few games when the Ultras were there and the decision to ban them is ridiculous. They got behind the team for the whole game, which gave the players a big lift. Now it's back to playing in front of 30 odd people with no atmosphere.
