speaking to a millwall fan yesterday he said their 'lot' paid a visit to a pub in tulse hill where the palace ultras were supposed to be meeting - must have been another spoof piss take message as there was nobody there - not sure what's funnier - a gang of muppets arranging to meet up in black bomber jackets or a gang of flat cap warriors turning up looking for a fight with them only to find it was all made up anyway - as long as they all enjoyed themselves, that's the main thing
They didn’t go to the pub in Tulse Hill because they thought the ultras were going to be there. It opened early for them to drink in. One of them knew the fella who’s runs it apparently. They chose Tulse Hill because it’s on the route the ultras and palaces ‘lot’ would’ve been taking.
I saw a video on Twitter of when Palace scored and I've never seen a bunch of adults(MIllwall supporters) act so petulantly. I understand why Millwalls support is so poor, who would want to be surrounded by that sort of behavior every week?
I know. It was shocking. So petulant. Their petulance ruined the whole day. I don’t think I’ll go to the next home game because of it.

That'll be most of your fan base to be fair. I went to school with a few Millwall fans and they just stopped going because they didn't like the atmosphere.
The thing with Ultras is that is a continental thing. Teams like Ajax, or teams from Eastern Europe, and they make it work. It’s been part of their identity for years. The casual scene from the 70’s and 80’s in England, although outdated now, was still a big part of this country’s terrace culture. So it’s a lot more acceptable than a load of spotty teenagers from Surrey trying to mimick something from Zagreb.
The pinnacle was on Sunday when Palace threw a flare on the pitch and the bloke with a sand bucket wasn’t allowed on to put it out until it had stopped firing because he probably didn’t have his level 8 pyro safety certificate. Hardly a Belgrade derby is it.
That was brave, throwing a flare a day after the game had finished.
Absolutely pains me to say this but fair play to Palace - they’re subsidising Hartlepool fans coach travel down to London (Surrey) for the FA Cup meaning Hartlepool fans will pay £12.50 to travel

Unpopular opinion but are the ultras any less freakish than grown men who get stone islanded up and mobbed up to fight at/ around games in 2022 outside of its cultural heyday of the 70s and 80s when it was a bit of an organic (albeit likely unwelcome) yoof scene like the mods n rockers/ teddy boys?
Both are pretty weird and bemusing in this day and age.
"Look at those sad wankers dressed in black and signing songs. Let's dress in identikit designer gear that costs more than our monthly mortgage payments and have drunken rows/ cause a massive waste of police time and intimidate locals and bystanders every Saturday because my life needs some sort of meaning and having it with Leeds in a backstreet gives me validation".
The 'Ultras' meet up on Wednesday evenings to practice songs and paint their banners. No one beats them on freakshow status.
Imagine thinking you’re a prolific striker so you ask the worlds worst gimmick fans to introduce another gimmick when you finally get a goal once every 5 games. Or does he mean when his shot hits the corner flag?
