    Aberdeen red ultra's ceased to exist

    I assume they were no banners for them last night, would I be correct?

    We are sad to announce that as of Tuesday 5th January 2010 the Aberdeen Red Ultras have ceased to exist.

    The Red Ultras were set up in 1999 by a group of supporters who wished to bring colour and atmosphere to games involving our beloved Aberdeen Football Club. It has not been easy to do this within the safety climate that currently exists in Scottish Football and mistakes have been made during this time. The pictures that will remain on this site are testament however to all of our members hard work over the years and will remain as a reminder to all what can be acheived if you truly believe in your cause. We are forever grateful for for the dedication and passion our members have displayed and we will continue to share a bond of friendship that will never end.

    We would like to take this opportunity thank you all at Aberdeen FC who have assisted and the Aberdeen supporters in general who gave us great support during these years, we appreciate your support more than you ever knew.

    The Red Ultras are no more however we must be happy with what we have achieved, we did it for the team we love and that love will continue regardless of what the future holds.

    The website and galleries will remain accessible for the next few months should you wish to save any images.

    Why is a rangers fan posting something about Aberdeen ultra fans on a hibs forum?

    I didn't see any banners last night, the away fans were fairly noisy in spells though. Its a shame the Ultras are no more, I'm all for anyone trying to improve the atmosphere at games.

    Any further detail on why they've disbanded?

    No love lost between us and aberdeen, I would honestly say they may be hated more than celtic fans, well it's a close call.

    The Red Ultras have disbanded. They had a pretty shakey relationship with the AFC board and other fans. They were given access to the stadium to set up their displays etc but then gone moved by the club from the Dick Donald stand to the open corner at the other end of the stadium. Think it was because fans were complaining about the standing etc. Some fans resented their supiriority complex by all accounts.

    I'm sure one of our guest Sheep will fill in the blanks and correct me but I think that's the jist of ot.

    Any need?

    It's a post/subject worthy of discussion, as the Ultras were one of the bigger groups in Scotland.

    Any word on the trumpets at the back of the Broomland road stand disbanding? I like to rustle a sweetie paper or two during a game.

    Could not agree more with you! I find some peoples treatment of this guy petulant and tiresome. I am a bit surprised by the fact that someone who supports rangers, takes such an interest in hibs, but there is no harm in it at all.

    I really wonder what world those folk who rip into him live in. In my groups of mates and social circles, I am in a complete minority being a hibee. However, I really enjoy the friendly banter/piss taking that goes on and also am interested in what is going on at other clubs.

    Those of you who put on the front that you foam at the mouth at the sight of a rival fan need to lighten up a bit!

    Hardly funny - based on my experiences, he's right.

    My fiance's parents are season ticket holders at Ibrox - have been for years. They aren't biggots and refuse to go to away games these days, as they realise just how much worse their away support is.

    They quite regularly state that they hate Aberdeen's fans much more than Celtic - reasoning? Celtics fans may spew political/pro-Irish/sectarian guff, but that only should offend people who are caught up in all that crap (or are mindless enough to feign offence for the sake of maintaining a rivalry/prejudice). Aberdeen fans singing about the Ibrox disaster(s), one of their players ending a Rangers' player's career with a horrific challenge (to name 2 of their vile ditty's) are a bit closer to home for many Rangers fans (certainly the ones I know anyway).

    So were they bigots before Mo Johnston signed ?

    Pretty much what FB posted. There was also a bit of a crackdown from security, they weren't getting access to stands (home & away) and allowed to do certain displays anymore, i.e card displays were banned as the polis said the paper could be used as missiles

    They went out on a high though after letting off a big red smoke bomb at Dundee Utd away. Although the reaction from the geeky internet fans is exactly what you expected 'disgraceful behaviour' 'they could've caused a roit' blah blah blah.

    Only one group now in Scotland now. Celtc's Green Brigade.

    blueisthecolour should be banned purely for his horrific use of the apostrophe in the thread title.

    Such grammar abuse (and ideally all Huns) need(s) to be stamped out for society to function well.

    Re: Aberdeen Ultras? Couldn't care less, although I think Aberdeen will continute to be one of the best away supports at ER.
