Streamer display our "fifth" i think, with 100 at the start of the game & another 50 at half time, love doing that.... Love watching every steward in the ground on the pitch pickin em up! Also love it when the stewards don't even bother looking in the bags for anything like this (& we had a huge holdall & a suitcase!!!!)

The two sticks were used to make sure the people in the hospitality had to stand to watch the game....... I was personally asked 5 or 6 times to lower the two sticks "yeah mate no probs" only to put them straight back again
Last night was what away travel & the ultras experince was all about, loads of youngsters joining in & hopefully they will continue & allow us to grow. The older less animated fans just look & giggle. Loweiy even managed to erect a hand flag on the pitch after the game.
Remember people this is the "new" way to follow your team....
Next up for us, out Stanley Ultras FC travel to Chester on Sunday to play their fans team & we have a huge "piss up" Saturday night
Ultras, one day all football fans will be made this way!
Top effort there, yet again!! Despite other groups that are around England at the moment, I think we can get away with saying that the RBA and the Stanley Ultras are way ahead of the pack! I might have got stick for saying that at the end of last season from others, but we're now in a position to openly let others know that we mean business!
I know i've had my own opinion about the SU in the past but having seen your display against us, as well as many others, you have my upmost respect! And it's not just myself, you've had many compliments from fellow RBA members over the last few weeks, and i hope it's vice versa! We stand in a league of our own and it'll remain that way for sometime I think!!
Gonna do a list that includes all we have done "as a group!" including piss ups, flying planes over Turf Moor, displays, coach travel, merchandise, sponsoring stuff, it reads very well I reckon.....
Gets me mad now that we get the same airwaves as Burnley Ultras & others who ain't done nowt!
But, I get stick if we boast even in a friendly way so we'll just keep growing!
By the way, the big banner was done in a big warehouse & with a few ultras members & the achievement & sense of pride can't be measured!
