Well, the idea of Ultras choosing who to sell their stand's tickets to often seems to mean

that they will sell them only to fascist bastards. The worst part is, that it becomes a wonderful recruiting incentive for those fascists. You really do not want the Barclay full of the equivalent of Dynamo Dresden Ultras.

At least that was my experience in Dresden. Yes, the atmosphere is incredible but at what cost? While I was there we hosted the U-19 European American Football finals. Austria beat Germany in the final and celebrated at their hotel which happened to be the hotel I lived in. The hotel was half an hour out of town, in a quiet wine making village. Somehow word got out and in the middle of the night a massive fleet of police had to turn up to fight back about 50 Dynamo Ultras who had decided to visit together and try to fight their way into the hotel to attack the Austrian youth team. Grown men trying to attack 16-19 year old kids.
