What happened to the Palace Ultras?

[Michael Morris]

I seem to recall they had quite a sizeable section in the end block behind the goal but today there was only about 30 of them.

Not so impressive today and they were the only home fans that tried to make a noise.

Probably at the sales buying some nice new gear..

[J R Hartley]

Fell out with the club and only go to away games now

Jd sport did have 70% off today

They were all at auditions
The bell whiffs

Final Score showed footage live from the ground after full time and all you could hear were the City fans.

They've been in dispute with the club who tried relocating them in the ground. They're supposed to have recently reached some sort of agreement but looks like it has diminished their enthusiasm .

On a fact finding trip to Italy to copy whatever those black hooded scrotes are doing.

The Nigels will then come back and pop off to Primark to get a cheap low quality copy

[Lawnmower]

They are cringible.
Millwall call them ‘The Stripey Nigels’

I’d give themselves credit for making an effort in a ground where away fans took the piss for years, although what they have now is so artificial and forced and unoriginal.

[Joe Gillis]

They always look like they're trying a bit too hard. Plastic Ultras' springs to mind.

They've been recycled

Our songs are also unoriginal and I think we even copied a few chants from Palace. Most football fans sing the same songs.

I agree about the trying too hard part.

I think that they are/were known as The Holmesdale Ultras 😂😂

Get your point, but it’s the ‘Ultras’ thing that makes me laugh.

As for songs, yeah we sing a lot that others do as well, but we’ve got quite a few of our own.

Pick and shovel
Men of Harlech
Sheepshagging bs we know what we are
We’re Cardiff, we’re barmy

Just off the top of my head

They reminded me of those 'kop choir' contests on the BBC back in the late 60's..

[surge]

Maybe it is contrived but their ground has a better atmosphere than most in premier league. Even Stoke went from loudest fans in league go quiet as a rugby ground by last season - premier league football kills football ground atmosphere and the stripy Nigel's go against that.

Didn't Wrexham sing this first?

[Lawnmower]

Didn't Wrexham sing this first?

No idea, but I doubt we ‘copied’ it off them as we hardly play them

[delmbox]

Regardless anyway I like the fact that we sing the words now

[splott parker]

Nah, South Wales Borderers in Zulu, wasn’t it?😂😂😂

[Lawnmower]

Yes. Definitely. 👍

Pick and Shovel is a unique song to City I’d agree, we are evil and if you like a lot of fighting at your football join our club.

[Organ Morgan.]

For younger viewers, the origin of the ditty 'if you like a lot of fighting at the football join our club' is this TV advert:

Which words? It's a tune sung by Wrexham, Swansea and us (at least) but Wrexham sing their own words and Welsh fans pointed out that Zulu film lyrics are perhaps the least traditional but most well known.

I think ‘We are Evil’ was sung by Millwall too ( unsurprisingly). That and the ‘club biscuit’ song are distant memories now
