"The noise was relentless"
"One aspect of the club that was particularily evident in Buckley park was the admirable behaviour of the vociferous travelling support"
"The manner in which the UTD support supplied entertainment and colour ensured the game had significant meaning"
"Wherever UTD play they are certain to be backed by a loyal,enthusiastic and expanding support".

UTD support supplied entertainment and colour

Yeah great report and its nice to be recognised in a stand alone artricle. The colour was fantastic on a still night the maroon smoke lingered perfectly as the team came out. The confetti though a royal pain in the ass for the groundsman added a South American feel to the North pole temps!
In honesty it was like a mini San Siro in Buckley Park last Sat. And they are not classed as flares I presume! Hope to see some pics I know 1 or 2 posters here had a camera any chance of posting them?
