We know that Przemek does awesome work already though... 90% of the tweets sound like a dumb high school kid trying to be cool.... This is one guy.
I think you're talking about the troll account from a few days ago. I fell for it too and retweeted. This account only shows 2 tweets (pictures).

So they're basically looking to guys to march together. Once in the stadium youre on your own. They won't be sitting together. It's more for outside gatherings

It's a little late for the sitting together. With a lot of sections sold out and limited options for group tickets. It's definitely an option once we have our own stadium as we will be picking seats again. So groups like this that might be late to the party for Yankee stadium can still organize and grow in preparation for having their own section come stadium time.

However Pernetti said that the YS capacity can change in every game if there is other request of tickets.
 
Am I the only one that doesn't like the idea of these faux-ultras? Just because you wear a bandana and stick your middle finger up doesn't make you an ultra. There aren't any real ultras in the US. And that's a good thing to be honest.

I know it's just a name. But it just seems weird to me.

Its just plain uncreative. Ultras are lunatics (but not all to the point of violence) and really it feels kind of disrespectful to just steal it and completely water it down. Not just saying that because its the US there really aren't any in the UK either. Of course there's people who care a great deal about their clubs but they don't take it to a borderline insane level. Boca Juniors even have their own cemetery.

The one positive is it wasn't "army."

Have they released anything recently?

And what's the issue with Ultras? Aren't they just passionate fans? I know I'm new to soccer in general but I thought Hooligans/Firms were the assholes and Ultras were the passionate support.

Ultras is a continental European term for hooligans. For various reasons, it's come away with a slightly more positive connotations compared to the hooligans/firms terms.

Just last week in Madrid ultras from Atletico fought (and killed 1) ultras from Deportivo.
 
Ultras tend to focus a lot on supporting their teams (at least according to wikipedia :) as well as some hooliganism. Standard hooligans probably couldn't really care less. Back when it was a major problem in English football they should have just stuck a big cage outside the grounds and shoved them all in. Don't know if its just a European term or whether it originated in South America. Maybe that's just the European term for clubs like Boca, River, etc. Maybe they use another word I wouldn't know...

Yeah, I saw that. I only meant that the term has come out with more acceptable leanings, not that the actual ultras are more reasonable. It's like the words "pirates" and "buccaneers". They both did basically the same things and could be as bad as each other, but when you think pirate you start thinking of loot and murder, whereas when you think buccaneer you think of adventuring or swashbuckling sword fights.
