Seriously....
This thread has become a "my interpretation is better than yours" thread.
that Torres fella got an 8 match ban for calling someone a Negrito, or Black Man (translated), the man was Black! Just because the FA has been pre-conditioned to understand Negro as a racist term, by using his own language he's been punished.
Once upon a time, if you were to look at someone with Cerebal Palsey and call them a Spastic, you'd be right. Not now though, it's a derogatory term.
People look at people from Wigan and say they all eat pies, when in truth, the term Pie Eater has nothing to do with eating Pies.
So, the term Ultras is just a word, and I have no doubt that when the Ultras tag was adopted in Europe it was a term used to describe someone who is devout about their support, but through the stupidity of European Football fans, the term is pre-conceived as a description of hooligan groups.
Now when you go on holiday to spain and ask for Te-de-negro (Black Tea), do you feel guilty? Do you feel like you've just insulted the guy who's asked you what he can get for you? Strongly doubt it. But if you said to a Black guy in the UK "You're a Negro" he'd probably smack you in the mouth.
So, let's scrap these stereotypes and pre-conceptions of what a word means. The Brigantes (Wigan Rugby Ultras) support their club as fanatically as they can, they're not violent, they're not hooligans. If you want to judge them as such, then so be it, but don't be suprised when the people you tarnish get slightly annoyed at it.

I'd heard that they were in dispute with HMRC over their image rights payments.

Don't think we will be doing t-shirts but we could certainly send you the design to have your own made!
