I'd love that! Will make me happy and sad in equal measure.

The last time I remember the Ultras being on top of their game was Boro away, you boys bossed it that day.

Middlesbrough was one of my favourites, the turn out and atmosphere blew me away. We had a 50 seater coach but so many more joined us and made it memorable. Some photos I have below:

Rather you didn't post any photos taken after 5pm, mind. Don't think they'll be pretty!!

Those are in my private collection, available for wedding speeches at a reasonable price!

Your Swindon display at home was fantastic.

That Oxford Ultras two-stick is so smart.

Atmosphere from us was unreal that day. Lot of Boro fans on their forum said we were the best they'd had for years.

Where is it out of bizarre interest? Slough?

My display pic is probably a graphic one of the Ultra lads created funnily enough. The best we display we ever did?

I always preferred the displays we did away from home, although smaller they were often 100x harder! The design on that Swindon surfer was cracking though.

Guessing it was a nightmare getting materials into away grounds. Did you speak the flagpoles in? Was always amazed to see them at away grounds.

We usually snuck them in, way too much hassle doing things the right way!

It was easy to create spectacular one-off displays and even regular matchday colour with the old head of security. Genuine understanding guy, who despite not being an OUFC fan, enjoyed football and loved seeing what what we came up with. We worked together to ensure it was all safe, he had common sense etc etc. We gave him a bit of a headache with the Swindon surfer and "Robins on the Run" but even the Police Commander for that day left it in his hands and he gave us the benefit of the doubt!

The one who followed took a different approach, and went well out of his way to make things as difficult as possible. Simple things we'd done for years were suddenly banned, 100x more red tape, we had forms to fill out, it really was not worth it at all. We reported this to the club but despite some false hope, at the time they sided with their employee (which we half expected, despite obvious disappointment). They made it clear we were the ones causing him and the club a problem in a couple of meetings, that killed it for me at the time, and I imagine that detered a young group from starting something new.

However it's a new board, new staff and new head of security. Hopefully any new group would receive a more helpful approach this time around.

Well I thank you for the pleasure you and your fellow Ultras gave me

It's the old Westgate car park in Oxford shortly before demolition.

I don't know why.

Still a prettier building than the Kassam. Unfair we didn't get to choose which one got demolished.
