Should United have their own Ultras group?

Not the right-wing fascist type.

Adopted in recent times in England and Scotland by the likes of Crystal Palace, with the Holmsdale Fanatics, Celtic's Green Brigade and Arsenal's infamous, straight outta Primrose Hill, Ashburton Army.

Will wearing all black attire, banging a drum and jumping up and down continuously instantly improve the stature of the support and give the team that extra boost, home and away? With the SJR revolution in full swing, a potential new stadium in the pipeline, maybe the Top Reds need changing as well. Perhaps Mortough could be given the task of assembling this posse of fanatics.

Points for the best Ultra name.

Feels a bit like forced fun to me, and a bit like cosplaying compared to the hardcore nutters in Europe.

With a bigger stadium, you'd hope there would be some way to get those interested in singing closer together.

Honestly I dont want our club to become a platform for a bunch of wankers who are into themselves and not that interested in the general success of the club. When United won their first league in 26 years in 93 the atmosphere against Blackburn was electric. No tourist fans but no ultras either just passionate supporters

TRA and the 1958 already put out enough weapons-grade cringe inducing stuff without styling themselves ultras as well.

A far left Ultras group? Many will approve on here.
That's what they used to call us back in the day. Somewhere in the deep recesses of the attic, there's an old butcher's coat with 'Doc's Red Army' written on it and the players' names from the 1976 cup final.

Too many links to the hooligans of the past. Could be rebranded though.

If you need a drum you’re not doing it right.

The drums and flag wavers at Arsenal's place are the fecking worst. They just need goal music and they're all set.

Yes, maybe a lots of different groups with cute outfits and fearsome names. Matchdays should be like 'Warriors'.
The Bishops Blazers.
The Ordsall Orphans.
The Gorse Hill Gang.
The Kersal Mandem.
The Tollgate Eight.
The Whalley De-Ranged Crew.
The OG'z from the Quays.
The Partington Pagans.
The Levenshulme Locos.
The Didsbury Disciples.
The White City Sofa Sellers.
The Firswood No-goods.
The Southern Cemetry Ghouls.
The Middleton Mongos.
The Wharf-Side Five.
The Weaste Warlocks.
The Droylsden Ten.
The Longside Lowriders.
The Barton Bridge Banditos.
The Ardwick Aztecs.
