On my 50 mile bike ride this morning I saw what can only be described as the most pathetic looking car in the world. I was cycling up to the top of Crystal palace hill at around 12:30ish and a run down Vauxhall Corsa passed me, it had red and blue stripes stuck all over it and scarfs stuck up inside that said Palace ultras. To make to worse it had Palace ultramobile stenciled on the back in blue and red - pathetic. I was tempted to throw my bike at the car in disgust.
They did look silly all dressed in black and the fireworks were all wrong, but what ever else they do they got the fans singing and making more noise than I can remember at The Valley for years.
They out sung the North Stand and made it feel like they were the home team. Maybe that was because it is a local derby, but they created a fantastic atmosphere and I have to confess to being very impressed with that.

True , they were a bit noisy , but do you think at Charlton we should have a 'North Stand Ultra Ultra's , and all dress in white for the away trip to Selhurst? :-0
It's funny how they consider it to be the best atmosphere in the UK.
If they enjoy it let them get on with it, i much prefer Millwalls crowd. Fat 50 year olds, arms folded, looking miserable and spotty oiks trying to look hard. Real atmosphere.
You say that, but considering most teams say we have one of the best atmospheres, your dig seems rather hollow. Admittedly, the very good atmospheres are becoming fewer.
Millwall's atmosphere for big games (eg - Charlton and West Ham) probably is up there with the very best. We saw exactly how it can directly affect both their team and the opposition when they thrashed us in 2010.
They were loud in 2010, unlike the ultras the other night. You can say what you want about millwall but don't kid yourself that they can't produce an atmosphere.
Please can we stop the positive comments about Millwall and Palace. We need to say stupid negative derogatory things - were football supporters ffs.....

not a dig, an observation. To me an atmosphere of simmering violence is not a good one. But here's something to mull over. For our Barnsley game i will be taking a 9 year old Millwall season ticket holder whose mum doesn't want him to go to the den anymore because of the `atmosphere'
lets not get too loved up with the spanners. that 4-0 game i thought their atmsophere was crap. load of 17 year olds going 'millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'
after about 5 minutes it became annoying more than intimidating.
granted it was better than our home atmsophere but thats hardly saying much.

That's just a lie, every Millwall fan i've spoken to recently has said how embarrassing it is down your place atmosphere wise, with some fans getting on Jacketts back etc etc
Who cares whether the Nultras were loud, they damn well should be against their rivals when travelling away. The acoustics in the Jimmy Seed stand is one of the best in this leaque anyway and a lot of away fans admit this. We will make lots of noise at theirs don't worry about that. Having a goal disallowed and going one down is not gonna make any atmosphere good for a home side against its enemy.

Very true re Jimmy Seed, it may not be the best stand in this division but it has very good acoustics, only needs 500+ away fans to make a good atmosphere in there.

Like deers caught in the headlights!

I was sat north lower for the palace game and visually they looked lively but vocally they were only good in parts.
In the East stand, on the half way line, it sounded at least as loud as I remember Norwich or Leeds in 2010.
