Ultras: from fashion to life style

Many are the persons who ask ... what is Ultra ?


A question like that has a very difficult answer, but, in my opinion, it is an intense love, a love which needs to be transmited inside the pitch, support, criticize...INTERVINE. Intervine in all, from the life of the club to the way we are.

So following this, I think that in Portugal being Ultra is in the majority of the cases a question of fashion. It is with sadness I say this. If I go to any "Superliga" game, I can see that the groups have a strong oscillation of people (for example, my group, if we play against a big team, the number of persons in the group go the double or more, and why? Love to Beira-Mar ? I don't think so, the people who love and identify themselves with the club have a regular presence in our J sector. And why is this oscillation ? The general part of the people join the groups to see the big games, to have a card and the scarf or
only to say "I'm Ultra". And these are the guys which many times rubbish the name
of "their" group.


If we go and ask the people who support their team at all games i have
absolutly sure that a half or more can underline what I said; and now i ask:
How can we figth against this situation ? A question to which I can't find an answer.

Another thing I don't understand is small clubs who have 2 groups, one
searching protagonism, the others saying that they don't identify with the
previous group... the result is a very poor support to the club.

But happily there still exists persons who love and feel the group like a link to
the club, and always think hours and hours about their group and their club.
That guys are the soul of the group, the guys which give all for the club
and in the day before the game can't sleep, that guys which go to stadiums
many hours before the game starts, that guys which don't go to the school or
to work only to see a game or a training, that guys which stay all day
painting banners and flags, all this only for their club.


People, help your group, sing for your club, unite in the name of your ideal!
