Umarell Oldtras

Red Star away at Dunkirk. Winning friends and influencing people. And taking photos before the Ultras get here.

And the Bauer on Saturday evening!!

Wierdly, I wasn't aware of either until someone forwarded me your post 5 mins ago! Book launch Monday night, Dunkirk away Tuesday night - tight schedule, but will be at both!

Many words have been written about our little football club, but this is one of the most enjoyable articles I’ve read. Many thanks

Never forget walking through the gates for the first time and thinking ‘Oh F…., there’s some work to do here’ And that was when we really saw what we were all about. Blood, sweat and Volunteers. And obviously the trusted advice of the ever critical Umarells.

@claptoncfc.co.uk so proud of all those players today that totally understand everything that we as a community are about. The only sad thing from today was that our trans friends should have been front and centre. We love you unconditionally and we will continue to fight with you.

There'll be more on this, but just a quick post to say how proud we are that both fans came together and refused to be intimidated by the venue's threats.

A credit to both football clubs

Once again we as a club @claptoncfc.co.uk fall foul of old men in waist coats deciding how a game should be decided. We as old men, women, trans, non binary will always stand with what we believe is standing on the right side of history. Today, we as fans and players did that.

Far be it from us to criticise, but this is just lazy journalism. Too much bias here on one gender. The true Umarells of CCFC have no gender bias, male, female, trans, non-binary; so long as you can moan, you're all welcome.

‘You feel useful to society’: Italy’s busybody pensioners go professional Once seen as a nuisance by construction workers, ‘umarell’ in Villasanta are now offically monitoring public works

My only disappointment with the umarell article in today's @theguardian.com is that the @umarelloldtras.bsky.social from @claptoncfc.co.uk are not mentioned

Great result. Very much looking forward to visiting deepest Kent soon.

The story of Clapton CFC, East London’s fan-owned anti-fascist football club. (Though it’s in Forest Gate, not Forest Green)

A night we'll never forget, and indeed it showed the best of all those there. Remember coming round after falling and just thinking there's going to be dead people. Amazingly not so. As for action, yes - court hearing next week (18th).

OK, we hear you and we've cancelled the helicopter. Disappointed.

Entrance for this weekend’s games will be via helicopter and winch. Please form an orderly queue, and as always, cash is quickest.

Lovely morning at the seaside. Come on down. @claptoncfc.co.uk

Ahhh, we see what you did there…😂

Been there on a weekly basis upholding the standards that have become expected of us. Been a glorious moanfest.
Just wait 'till they start on the turnstile....

Wherever you might be, be it over land or sea, sing goodbye Upton Park…

A few words on loss, community, and the ties that bind.

An emotional reflection from Josh.

Great equaliser. Probably. Louis. Possibly.

Correction. Cameron hitting post, not Fred. Hard to tell here, Oldtra eyesight and no floodlights, anything could be happening out there.

@claptoncfc.co.uk 0-1 down at halftime in ultra low key friendly. Early penalty for Enfield Borough. Fred hitting post our best chance.

Yup, nice afternoon stroll in you're part of town....well.... south of the river.....

No football Saturdays. Oh well…

It would be great to receive a bumper amount of donations for our hygiene bank collection.

@magpieprojectuk.bsky.social support mums and young children in temporary accommodation.

They need:
● Toothpaste ● Toothbrush ● Shower gel ● Shampoo ● Deodorant ● Sanitary towels

Teenage Fan Club. BBC 4 now. Just sayin. Oldtras Youth Dept.

Obviously about 2 weeks out of date!
