Working on a job today and got talking to a lad, who was a mag from horden. Got the usual werer both shite, couldn't make a decent team out the pair of us, blah blah blah. Anyway got talking about non league footy and he started telling me about horden colliery and apparently there's a group of 150 that watch them every week and call themselves the horden ultras. Never expanded on it, but I had to leave the room before I burst out laughing.
It's mostly school kids who follow them about.. we've all got to start somewhere
Aye we do. Sunderland, Newcastle, Boro or even hartlepool would of been my guess though. Go watch these clubs aye, but "ultras" is a bit much for that level surely.
It started with the kids going to watch a teacher or teachers playing for them I believe, the team ended up paying for them to get mini busses to away games as they liked the following.. Just kids having a laugh I suppose
Fair doos that then. Good on them actually, keeps the kids occupied and enjoying themselves.
Proper naughty.
Yes when Darlington were in the NL a few years ago lots of their away games were all ticket.
Cheers.
