We congratulate Sheffield United on their return to the Premier League by making them our Ultras Aufkleber of the Week.
Now however we return back to our usual stance on such matters by informing any Blades reading this that this sticker got covered by one of ours a mere two fucking seconds after this photo was taken.
This week’s design comes from the Minstermen, named after York’s giant ecclesiastical edifice that stands close to the site where Constantine was proclaimed as the Roman Emperor thousands of years ago. We couldn’t care less for the city’s greatness however, and decided to stick our own Aufkleber on top of this one after taking this photo.

Seen inside the KCOM Stadium in Hull, a rather conspicuous location for such an Aufkleber.

J.L. Carr’s “How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won The FA Cup” published by Penguin Books is an enjoyable short story that chronicles the success of fictional amateur side Steeple Sinderby Wanderers as they nonchalantly decide to compete in the Football Association Challenge Cup and proceed to lift the trophy at Wembley the same season. The geographical location of Steeple Sinderby is ambiguous but the club’s players, employees and associates are all village folk from the English back-country.

FINALLY an English fan group with sticker designs more imaginative than just the old St George’s cross with team name slapped on top of it. Ladies and gents, Bristol City.
A city of two teams, but don’t let either of them catch you saying that.
We have seen the support coming out of the Southwest’s number 1 city getting better over the past couple years. A visit is overdue.
