Yes, there were a bunch of fans in black t-shirts in the north bank against Leicester who seemed to be starting the singing. I read somewhere they are called the 'Ashburton Army which is very embarrassing if true, not only that, they missed a trick as they should have called themselves the 'Grove Armada' 8)
They are a group of young lads who got together over the last couple of seasons to create atmosphere in the Clock end (family enclosure and they are definitely improving the atmosphere at home games,This season they have moved over nearer to the away fans and like minded individuals who want to stand and sing all game are encouraged to buy match tickets in that block

I believe the club has embraced them and despite my thoughts on organised ultras in matching t-shirts I think they are doing a brilliant job in raising the atmosphere levels at home
The thing is the term Ultra's can be used in all sorts of ways, I mean the idiots who call themselves ultra's and support Italian teams are wa.nkers and if stood on their own 99% of them would shat their pants.

The lads in matching T-shirts shouldn't be thought of nor called ultra's... I mean matching t-shirts? Perhaps it helps give them some kind of identity, But good on them is all I can say, if they are improving the noise levels of support etc and some of the new chants are great! It is a good thing and (hopefully) can only improve the level of noise etc at games! As long as they aren't doing all the foolish aggro stuff that we all know still goes on.

Not sure why they can’t wear AFC colours, but hey, their choice- and yes the atmosphere has been on the rise in the last year, so hats off (sombrero’s ?) to them for that

Last word on Jesus....thought at first he was not a priority signing.....to be fair in his present role he is superb

the way he goes past players is amazing....beating the defence and setting up chances....he is a top signing...just worry now how we would do without him

With Zinchenko playing so well, what’s peoples thoughts about Tierney coming back in? Would you put Tierney straight back in now or is he backup at the moment?

Maybe Fanatics, like the Holmesdale ones...or is that too cringe??

Wonder if RedAction are involved.

Good question Tom. I like Tierney a lot. He's a superb player and he is a battler with great attitude, but Zinchenko has done nothing to deserve getting dropped. So either it's his spot to lose or as a couple of the lads say above, move him to midfield, get rid of Lobotomy Clive, and slot Tierney in at left back again. Unfortunately though I think it won't be long before Tierney is out injured again. :(

That's why the Ukrainian was bought because they know something about Tierney that's not been made public not to mention that it might be the same about Partey .
I don't for one minute believe that he was bought in to replace Xhaka , if anyone would be it would be Tielemans , but it looks more than likely that such a move is not happening and that we are stuck with him.

I agree Red. I didn't want us to sign him (265 on here will tell you that :lol: ), but he's been far better than I could have expected. I was surprised by his pre season performances, but doing it in the PL is what it's all about and so far, so good. My only caveat is that he has started at a blistering pace in all 3 games, but has faded a little after 25 mins or so. Still, that's being over picky.

I also share your concerns over what we'll do if he can't play. Once again, we saw enough from Eddie yesterday to know he's not the answer.
