Honest to god. 🤣 Really. You can't have read many of the posts I've made on the group. They do great stuff. They do some silly stuff. They are passionate, young and energetic. What do you expect?

It’s getting boring Rick, grow up. Who has tried to dictate. Not me. But, I do have an opinion. You may not always like it, but then you don't always like what the club says or does either vis a vis W7. That's life. Try not to be selective in what you read. Accept that I often praise the group but sometimes have an opposite view. Edited July 21, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggro was indeed short for aggravation was it not, which you could argue is more linked to violence than the word ultras. Its a word of the 70s really. Surprised that a bunch of young lads would still use it. I suppose it does still form part of one of the most regularly sung songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that if the OP was going to question anything, he might have been better served questioning “aggro” than “ultras”.

Don't like the Ultras thing though. Started in Italy with, I think, Lazio. Had both violent and right wing connotations. I saw the power of their group on a visit to the stadium. One end holds about 15 to 17,000 people people. The end was empty until I think, 17 minutes had gone. This was apparently a sign to the directors that the Ultras wanted the club to exend the contract of a favourite player coming to the end of their contract. Amazing, but worrying to watch.

Tbh ultras originated in Italy at Genova I’m the 50s and it was very non violent at that that time most if not all ultra groups were left wing as time went on politics change as they do here some groups went to right wing ect ect More police brutality on match day and through the week made these ultra groups very anti authoritarian leading to violence I think a lot of people are put off and scared of the word ultra/ultras and if we are scared of words then we’re at a very scary place in society also should not be scared of fans standing up to the board of directors Edited July 21, 2020 by GlenburnSaint1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70s, it was very much an “aggressive” song about the supporters threatening to batter other supporters melts in (although in reality that seldom happened). Nowadays, even though the words haven’t changed it feels more like it about the team “taking you on” than the supporters. Maybe the word “aggro” is so quaint/of the 70s, that no one would actually take it seriously in any other respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term ultra in means, to go beyond, which is what we aim to do 😊 no violence just passionate supporters hoping to bring a better atmosphere and get behind the team. I understand your point, but as Shull says (in one of his saner moments[!])................. what does the word "aggro" mean or refer to in the context of the group?

Doakes Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I'd say "Northbank aggro, take you on, whoever you me be" is our most fitting song In terms of the size of our club, we punch above our weight on many occasions We're also a pretty loud / vocal / aggressive support (in a respectful non-old-firm sort of way) Edited July 22, 2020 by Doakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
