It's a bit cringey calling yourself 'ultras'. Firstly, it shows a complete lack of imagination. In the old days firms used to pick a name that actually meant something. These hooligans nowadays can't even think of a name between them! And not only that, they're not even proper hooligans. Hooligans don't support local foodbanks or do work for kid's charities. They get pissed then bash people up! So they can't even get that right. Secondly, you are asking for trouble calling yourself 'ultras' with all the negative connotations and baggage that word carries. All they've achieved there is make it easy for them to be targeted by the authorities. A bit like if your local mosque decided to call themselves the Taliban, they could be the nicest people on earth, but that name is just not gonna fly is it? I've got a couple of alternative suggestions. How about Cream, in honour of Eric Clapton (or The Clapton Cream). Or the Clapton NRA, as a little nod to all the shootin' in their borough. Well okay, I'm just spit-firing, give me the day and I could come up with 20 better alternatives (if I could be arsed). In just the last month, the Clapton Ultras have run a foodbank, staffed a soup kitchen, promoted and attended two fundraising games for a nearby financially struggling football club, and are now arranging Xmas toy collections for kids who go without. And I know you know that the 'Ultras' moniker is a bit tongue in cheek😉
