There aren’t many of them, but finding an ultras group willing to do an interview for this feature on North America seemed essential to us. Thanks to Dan from the San Jose Ultras for his contribution [@san_lose_uitras_official] Before we talk about the stands, can you tell us a little about the city of San José…

Approximately 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from Ipswich lies a place called the United States of America. Some of you might be aware of it. It’s not somewhere you typically associate with ‘ultra culture’ or even the beautiful game itself. However, there have been signs that things are changing in that respect. James Montague’s…

29th out of 29. Beating all kinds of negative records. Worst season in the history of this club. We still travelled to LA. We never stopped singing and representing, despite yet another pathetic loss, because we still care deeply for this club, for the badge and the colors. It’s time to clean house! Those who…

Norma Quesada has been a member of our group since 2008. Attending most home games, as well as many away games, she poured her huge heart into supporting the Quakes and helping our group.

19 years have passed by. Hundreds of players and hundreds of members came around and went away. Plenty of good and plenty of bad. Satisfactions and disappointments. Tons of memories. Above it all, still thinking independently, still fully dedicated to the cause we believe in, and always loyal to our principles. Still choosing quality over…

Nine years ago, following some incidents at Buck Shaw, the head of the Quakes security at that time wanted to ban the Galaxy fans from future games in NorCal. We strongly opposed that decision and eventually reversed it. It’s detrimental to any rivalry game to be played with only one set of supporters present. The…
