Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 As an outsider the TU come across as being a bit up their own arses, like theyre the only people who make any noise. Perhaps I get a skewed perspective but I can only tell it as I see it. Perhaps the TU should see if NUSC can provide them with some space on their website in exchange for a bit of web design advice. We all need to work together to drag the club out of the mire, put on a united front. you say tu are a bit up their own arses then recommend they should join up with nusc? you couldn't make it up. Im sorry Fading Star but , I am going to have to 100% agree with wshmag on this one. I can understand how you would think the TU are stuck up there own arse , but to be honest we have helped alot. Not saying we make the atmosphere but as a group we have contributed largley in my opinion. I have a lot of time for TU in many ways, but theyre becoming a disruptive element. More concerned with themselves than the greater good. Too quick to cast themselves as better supporters than the rest of us. I hope its just case of a small minority creating false impression, but have to say Im starting to have my doubts. So here's a chance for both groups to help each other really. The NUSC could show that they're keen to get an atmosphere in the ground, and the TU can finally get rid of their name, appeal to more supporters, and have a bit of guidance, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fading star Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Didn't NUSC have a meeting with board members as well? No, they invited themselves to the supporters panel. They have though started to develop a good relationship with the media, provided an alternative voice to the goons who perform for the cameras. That in itself is of more value than anything TU have achieved. They also have a established plan to give the supporters real representation, and have been reaching out to the community. TU by comparison are an insular group with no interest in anything but themselves. It used to be about bringing back the noise, now it’s all about how much noise they think they make. I don’t want to slag off TU, but their hostility towards other supporters leaves me with no option other than to highlight their failings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For NUSC it might be a good way of shaking off the misconception they’re just a protest group, and for TU it would remove the need to fund a web presence. They’re could be more scope for co-operation. NUSC might be able to able to fund the production of some banners etc for example, but the starting point is some mutual respect and to the best of my knowledge I’ve never heard NUSC slag of the ultras.

Guest Brummiemag Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm an NUSC member and I think it would be great if TU worked together/joined up with NUSC. Fucking hell we have enough enemies, why do so many people seen to want to have a go at either or both groups when at the end of the day they both consist of genuine fans who want to do the best for the club?

JJ7 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I thought the TU were just lads who liked to go to games and sing. When did they become so organised? Does it really need to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Shouldn't have called themselves Ultras. I know you don't want the jibes etc, but it immediately made people cautious of associating with you. I reckon if that hadn't happened, you'd have a much greater populous. Anyway, that aside, I love the atmosphere in L7 around Ultraville. So much so that I would much prefer to sit there than sit milburn centre etc. Whats the point in having the best view in the world if I cant call the ref a cunt every 3 seconds without feeling self conscious.

SteveMc Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 That said if they've been in the Leazes corner this year thay've made a decent noise.

mattynufc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I am coming around to the idea however still not 100%. If I get a vote in everything that is done with the money, i.e. if money is to be spent on a banner or a display I would like a vote. This idea could easily work, but until the above is properly announced I won't be paying a fiver, as then I will be paying a fiver to view a forum I have been able to view free for years. Joining with NUSC in my opinion is not the best idea, nothing against them but they are two seperate groups with slightly different aims. The name Ultras however I do agree with needs changing which I am sure many of you may know has been discussed previously. What to change it to and how to go about it has not been discussed to my knowledge.

Guest WashyGeordie Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Didn't know where to put this. But we're going have a footy tourno on Sat @ Westgate, 1pm. It's roughly £2.50 per player, and a max. of 8 players per team. The main idea is to raise money for TU, however I just thought I'd ask on here if anyone would be interested in entering a team? Cheers in advance, Dominic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupermacTheLegend Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I Sat there for the Doncaster Match and the further you get to the back, the more kids and chavs, me and my mate sat in ROW L which was in the middle kinda, and there was some amazing banter from older fans around 20-45, Amazing chants aswell, loved it! getting my season ticket there next season!

S.S.R. Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 So what do you get for a fiver? Access to the Toon Ultras website? Not worth it imo. And if half of the people are moving to the Strawberry corner what happens if you donate a fiver and the displays are not in the end you stand in? Which Ultras are moving to the Strawberry Corner, cos I would have thought that making the Leazes corner louder and better than last year would have been a better idea than dividing the number of people willing to sing and chant? Were you under the impression running a website costs nothing? I agree the split seems a bit farcical like. No, cos I have contributed to the Ultras website fund before, just as I contributed to the fund for this website to move. I have also contributed banners to the Ultras. http://i35.tinypic.com/2uib240.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
