New Tifo coming?

Yes and some other bits.

That being said the 'honesty flags' may make the possibility of something hard.

So it's you lot who have been half inching them

Wonder if the world famous Gary Baldi’s will have a retort for the display at our place. Didn’t half get their jocks in a tizz. 

Not a chance. They'll just wheel out the "we don't care" line. 

 

The company that makes their tifos for them went through significant changes on Company's House over the summer and Forest's attempts completely dried up this season. Might not be linked but could well be.

Who does the best tifos? Out of the whole 92?

Not actually that many clubs in this country that do them.

Us, Palace, Huddersfield, Stockport, Ipswich, Middlesborough, Arsenal, Lincoln that do it themselves. 

 

Then you have groups that pay others at Forest, Sunderland, Newcastle, Watford, Villa, Chelsea

I rate Ipswich as very creative. Palace have done some good stuff. Lots in the scene do rate us and I would say for the shit we have to put up with from the club to get one over the line then we are very very good at tifo.

There seems to be a genuine animosity to you guys from the club which feels plain odd.

 

Do the other groups who self-serve on this stuff get the same sort of shit, or do their clubs tend to be more supportive?

Im not 100% on all but Newcastle for example look to have it good. Club account tagging their work, publicising it etc.

Palace and Middlesborough who both semi regularly pyro appear to get little kick back from their own clubs.

Can you imagine the backlash from the club if UFS were to pull out some pyros at the KP

Remember the pyro from Copenhagen? Well the club picked up the burnt out flares and went to the n’th degree trying to track those who did it by attempting to trace the serial numbers on each flare. 
If that was done for a foreign mob who they have no chance of seeing again just imagine the lengths to get their own.

Do want to say its not ‘all’ at the club. Since being back from covid certain aspects have clearly improved.

Surprised they havent tried to get on to the Rome flares

After their Ultras group dispanded in 2019 a new group has sprung up at Oxford, but just looks to be a Notts Forest/Newcastle printing style mob. Shame as OU did some decent stuff over their 10 years.

I used to go to the Aberdeen games in the late 80's early 90's with a lad who was into his European football and loved an away day out. 

He got inspiration from the 1990 world cup and his time in Genoa.  

 

He formed the Aberdeen Ultras and they became one of the 1st clubs in the UK to start doing displays. 

 

There was a bit of friction between the Ultras the club and the normal fan base. Sound familiar? 

 

Anyway, he eventually became more and more involved in the development of the UK Ultra scene and I notice he's now Operations director of UK Supporters who do flags,  banners etc. 

 

I think they were involved in one of the King Power displays just before Covid. 

 

I never thought he'd make a career out of it, he must be doing his dream job.

Yeah we know him. Nice chap by all accounts a few UFS had a beer with him.  He will always answer a question. Aberdeen Ultras looked to be great back in the day. I also can’t imagine how hard that must have been to do then with such heavy casual culture around.

 

Its a tricky one as what he does is great for the scene but he really steps on groups toes by doing all the club catalogue display stuff.

Plus his stuff is 4/5 times the price of other places. The quality is good but the cost is totally prohibitive.

Pretty much sums up what the English groups are up against.  The scots ignite 100's of flares and we cant have cards incase someone throws them on the pitch.
