Jorvik Reds

The Jorvik Reds are an ultras group that follow York City F.C.
They were formed in 2004 on the back of the clubs relegation to the Conference (Now 'Blue Square Premier')
Here are a few photos/videos of the displays and actions the group has carried out since then:

Kettering Town v York City

The Jorvik Reds have been getting a hard time recently from certain club board members, amongst other things being told they aren't the kind of supporters this club needs - they were told this at half-time of the Torquay away game, a 600+ mile round trip on a Thursday night.
At the Kettering game on Saturday they decided to protest by wearing suits, and displaying a 'Suits Rule Football' banner at the game.

Well, what can i say...after all that tench in the past few weeks we arrive at the ground, move to a pub and are met by half for northamptonshire's police force. problem for them was, over 75% of our bus had turned up in suits and masks/balaclavas as part of a later display/protest...cue cops walking round the pub asking people if they are from york and if they have come on a bus. as we sit there, in our suits enjoying beers in teh sun, being the most peaceful we have ever been....up strolls mounted police and more vans...to be met with total confusion and some awkward attempts at fiming the ultras (who they couldn't find)
We march to the ground en masse, up the noise with banners, 2 sticks and flags all over the placxe..only to be met at the gates by even more coppers telling us that basically everything we were carrying was banned and were forced to hand it into the stewards. in the ground and display underway...banner, streamers, baby smokes et etc

That all looks absolutely fantastic! What a superb effort the Jorvik Reds are putting in. We are someway off that but maybe on day!

again that is qualtiy i mean Dan you have to agree i reckon we can achieve this especially if we all move to the north stand next season? but the thing that annoys me most about all this is that we are getting support from other fans of other football teams but not our own that really annoys me big time!!!

i mean example newcastle and JR04 have had the time to become a member on here and post this to support us and yet even our own wont this....ok ok i know we have got followers but there are some reading fc fans that think this idea is stiupid well to thos people i put my middle finger up and say.....

HELLO HELLO
WE ARE THE BISCUIT BOYS
HELLO HELLO
WE ARE THE BISCUIT BOYS

COME ON YOU BISCUIT BOYS!!!!!!

From yesterdays game:

This just shows you don't
need 2 be successful 2 have
great fans.

JR are a perfect example
of how fans were. The passion
and the pride for their club
(despite being in the conference)

We could have something as good
as or better than this this
this is realistic target!

I think the massive flags make the the away fans think that the atmosphere will be good every time i see anfield with the big flags and the european stadiums i always know that the atmosphere will be real good i think we need to bring out more big flags to wave and all the scarves

sorry to crash the biscuit boys/ JR pary, but if the JR are an ''ultra group'', isn't it like hooliganism, or have i got the wrong idea?

na mate two different things i dont want to be big headed but i know alot about the two if you want more info just pm and i will give you the info if you want

i agree with the standing and singing part, don't get me wrong, i think it's a decent idea! but the flair throwing, disruption of the game, is slightly of putting with the idea of an 'ultra' group'.
