They issued a statement at nearly midnight last night saying they are banning away fans from their London Senior Cup tie with Clapton on Wednesday evening. They say this is because of the Clapton Ultras, who they claim have a pattern of 'unacceptable behaviour'. This is a political decision spurred by the shitty owners of Clapton FC, and nothing to do with security. The Clapton Ultras are ultras in the true sense, not in the English re-definition as hooligans. The Clapton Ultras are passionate about their club. They want the owners out so boycott the teams home games. Away, they create some of the biggest step five attendances going. They do community work with local schools throughout Newham, support local foodbanks and kids charities and support neighbouring clubs. This is really shitty and disturbing from Met Police FC. Hopefully the FSF can intervene and get it reversed. PS yes we have ultras groups in non-league football. They are passionate left wing supporters that bring the best atmosphere, and do lots of community work in their spare time. They are fantastic ultras groups, and nothing to do with any trouble or violence.

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😉 |

I can see why they thought it would be funny now, I get it, but still seems like a bad idea. On a serious note though, I do applaud what they are doing of course. |

Will you just look at this feedback to the Clapton Ultras from recent matches they have attended. Animals!   |

As I said, no security concerns here at all.
The cowardly Met Police are colluding with the scumbag Clapton owner to slander and ban a group of passionate football fans for political reasons.
Fucking shameful.
You're not telling me the Met Police can manage West Ham - Millwall games, but can't cope with just a couple of hundred high spirited, peaceful, non-league fans, at their own ground.

The Clapton Ultras have been going since 2012...
Clapton Ultras charged with criminal offence at football = 0.
Clapton Ultras even arrested at football = 0.
Security reasons for this ban = 0.
