I suppose we have to address the Elephant in the room...
Seeing as it seems legit, anyone know anything more about it/who's behind it?
One thing I'd like to point out:
I assume they (and all the other 'pop-up' Ultras groups like Crystal Palace's 'Holmesdale Fanatics' and the newly spawned Ashburton Arsey Under-12's) know, or at least are aware of the true origins of some of the earliest Latin American/Italian Ultras groups (y'know, the FAR RIGHT, NEO NAZI, ULTRA-VIOLENT POLITICAL ones!)
...but I assume they're not THAT... so if THEY'VE managed to 'adapt' the meaning of the word 'ULTRA' to suit their new group, and not cause offence... then why the hell are Spurs fans still getting brickbats from the outside world by trying to adopt/adapt the word YID and not cause offence??
Can't have it both ways!
DISCUSS!!

EDIT: btw, wasn't the '1882' movement on here originally called something along the lines of N17 ULTRAS? (before Flav nicked my username???!!!)
Honest question!
