Name-Change: Ultras In For The Long Haul

The Ultras Montreal 02 and other fan groups are determined to continue the campaign against the name-change at their football club, formerly known as Impact de Montreal.

Currently their main vehicle of protest takes the form of a petition to owner Joey Saputo and President and CEO Kevin Gilmore, and they’re happy to be approaching the 5,500 mark in signatories.

Ultras spokesman Garry Whyte has been with the group since 2008 in parallel with being a Impact season-ticket holder -

“This [petition] of course is not the only thing we have planned and although it’s difficult to visibly express ourselves without being able to go to the stadium, we are launching a further initiative in the next couple of weeks, which I cannot yet elaborate on.
