Thanks to the honorable Commandante#00, our history can be shared by all who wish to know how the Union Ultras came to be. Read and enjoy!
UNION ULTRAS
THE BEGINNING
The group began its journey about 2 1/2 years ago when a few individuals who shared their passion and love for the beautiful game of FUTBOL and their team, got together with only one thing in mind; to create a supporter group only and exclusively for CHIVAS USA, at that time the name was the SAINT PATRICK’S BATTALION.
We knew that CHIVAS USA deserved hardcore fans; and as the group was slowly growing, it was decided to change the name of the group and in the beginning of 2008, it was still the same group of people but under a different name and banner…
THE UNION ULTRAS.
WHY THE UNION ULTRAS?
UNION is meant to honor the first name of CHIVAS GUADALAJARA, the most beloved and popular team in Mexico.
It also means that although most Union Ultras members have different favorite teams such as CHIVAS, AMERICA, CRUZ AZUL, ATLANTE, BAYERN MUNICH, LIVERPOOL, BARCELONA, RIVER PLATE and other well known power houses, we all share the unconditional love and loyalty for our might red-and-white.
This is the very FOUNDATION AND THE HEART AND SOUL of the union ultras.
ULTRAS is meant to emphasize the total commitment and passion in pursuit of greatness before, during and after the game and regardless of the outcome.
NOI SOLI SINE METU This is our motto in Latin and it means us alone and without fear.
OUR LOGO It is a skull that wears a top hat and it means that we as ultras must express our passion in an objective and intelligent manner and against corporate limitations and status quo.
IDEOLOGY OF THE GROUP AND WHAT WE STAND FOR
1. Everyone is welcome to sit with us, even if you do not belong to our group or if you do not favor Chivas USA.
2. Promote a multi-ethnic family environment.
3. Totally against violence, racism, discrimination and vandalism.
4. Promote camaraderie and respect among members and towards the fans, especially women and children.
5. Promote solidarity, respect and friendship towards members of other supporter groups including those who favor the
opposition.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE GROUP
The Union Ultras have gained respect and recognition from the MLS, other supporter groups such as the COLUMBUS CREW, SEATTLE SOUNDERS and the Galaxy’s ANGEL CITY BRIGADE, from our front office staff, executives; others including THE EARTHQUAKES AND REAL SALT LAKE and from the media as well.
GROUP ACTIVITIES
We, the Union Ultras, are a large family and for that reason, we promote a family oriented environment in order to change the perception of the game and their fans as we want the new fans to see CHIVAS USA not only as a soccer game, but as an exciting experience that people can look forward on a weekly basis.
To us, the next game begins the very moment the referee blows the whistle ending the ongoing match as we prepare the logistics, chants, equipment inventory and pregame social activities such as parking lot gathering, game viewing parties when our goats play away; these viewing parties take place either at a member’s house or at a restaurant.
In 2009, before the 2nd SUPER CLASICO that featured CHIVAS USA vs. GALAXY, which is a heated rivalry, the Union Ultras played a friendly soccer match against the Angel City Brigade (galaxy supporter group), with the intent to prove to the MLS and HDC Security that it was possible and without any danger to anyone.
The result was a total success and this match will take place every year thereafter.
OUR GOALS FOR THE FUTURE
1. To continue establishing ourselves as a solid group.
2. Build reputation among the MLS and other supporter groups for our “aguante”, passion, choreography, commitment,
mega-banners, light bar and chants.
3. Constant communication with Stadium Security and overseeing policies to ensure the safety of members, fans and staff.
4. Nurture the gained trust from Security, Front office staff, other supporter groups and most importantly, the fans.
5. To change perceptions by showing good behavior and ensuring that the beautiful game of futbol is played and enjoyed
without negative actions and thus resulting in positive feedback.
6. Last but not least, our main goal is to have sections 141, 142, 101, 102 and 106 full or people (UNION ULTRAS), singing and jumping in support of our beloved red-and-white.
PERSPECTIVE AND VISION
Although it has been a long and hard journey, we must brace ourseles for even greater challenges and more trying times in the near future and as this group grows in numbers, so will the expectations and every member must be prepared to share a roll in order to build pride and sense of belonging.
USA los Union Ultras, una mañana nublada con algunos chubascos repentinos, pero eso no importo por que solo habia un objetibo!!!!! apagar el Fuego en Fresno California. Fue asi como los Ultras salieron en carabana y manejaron mas de 250 millas para apoyar a su Renaño Griongo, poco apoco el estadio se empeso a llenar, mas omenos se dieron sita mas de 5,000 personas en gran mayoria portando la camiseta rojiblanca, detras de la porteria sur era donde estaba el carnaval, los Ultrtas rapidamente contajiaron a el estadio con el sonar de tambores las banderas oleando en el tablon el descontrol era notable y ese ambiente familiar que los a caracterisado desde su principio. Esto llebo a que mucha jente de Fresno que con orgullo portaban la camiseta rojiblanca se arrimaran y se unieran al carnival rojiblanco Con cantos como la banda loca, en LA hay una banda, We Love you, were ever you go y Somos los Ultras la sona sur bailabla de lado a lado . Sin lugar a duda los Ultras son Fieles y tienen Awante.
