The Armada

Happy Easter Armada... you guys were awesome yesterday! 👍

Kudos to the creative minds behind that choreography. It’s incredibly tough to design something that actually looks impressive and hits the mark without just ripping off something someone else already performed in a stadium somewhere else.

Bravo Easter Armada! 👍

Kudos to the fleet for last night's performance👍

The cheering was incredible, the pyrotechnics were spot on, and that choreography was totally unique. Honestly, I’ve got nothing but praise for them.

The Easter Armada totally blew me away... the choreography was top-tier and those flares looked incredible... Seriously amazing show, keep it up! 😉

The Easter Armada put on a pretty decent show for the derby... the choreography was spot on and the pyrotechnics looked great, but let's be honest about the chanting—it wasn't exactly world-class. You guys were strangely quiet during those first 15 or 20 minutes while we were trailing, and it felt like you only actually started finding your voices to lift the team once the goal finally went in, so there's definitely some work to do there; all things considered, I'd give it a mediocre grade.

Man, this is absolutely freaking legendary!👍

Hell yeah.

I gotta say though, I’m actually pretty shocked at how thin the crowd is out here in the West. Usually, when you've got a massive derby heating up against Real Madrid or Liverpool FC, you’d see this section absolutely packed to the rafters...🤷

It feels like a whole new crew is starting to form—people who actually show up for the badge, not just because they're chasing some massive rivalry or a big matchup... honestly, the gap between a random mid-week game and a huge derby is getting smaller by the day.

A non-existent penalty isn't a legitimate goal...

By the way, neither side was really bringing much energy to the stands yesterday...
Let someone else weigh in on the flares, the choreo, the flags, or the banners... personally, I couldn't care less about all that stuff...

Anyway, neither us nor you guys were even close to being on the same level when it comes to the atmosphere yesterday...
The flares, the choreos, the flags, the banners—let someone else obsess over that... personally, I couldn't care less...

What are you implying—that those things don't matter in the ultra scene?? The fact that you guys can't even pull off a choreo you spent weeks prepping, or that you can't even spell the name of your own "sacred ground" on a banner... that's just on you!!!

btw, all I'll say is that in your big "statement" next to the Demon's impact, you guys slapped up a flag for the Copper maritime academy! 😂

To whole ultra scene is just exhausting.

Thomas Moore25 As stated by:
What exactly are you trying to imply when you claim those elements aren't being properly valued in the ultra scene? Let’s be clear—the fact that you lot can’t execute a choreography you spent months rehearsing, or that you can't even manage to spell the name of your own "sacred" club on a banner, isn't some deep commentary on the culture. It's just a massive failure on your part. That's your problem, not ours.

Honestly, it’s enough to say that you practically crowned yourselves kings of the world by placing the maritime academy flag right next to that Demon strike in your message. 😂

Read with a bit more nuance here—the guy explicitly stated that HE personally isn't particularly bothered by it. He wasn't suggesting it lacks value within the supporter culture; in fact, I’d mostly agree with him that the act of cheering itself is the core of everything. However, it feels like we're reaching a point where everything else—the politics, the business, the optics—is slowly starting to overshadow the actual spirit of being a fan. 🤷

The most important thing is backing your club through everything—the chanting, the displays, the organized actions, all of it. Since we’re primarily "supporters," what matters most to me is having the entire stand singing from the first whistle to the last, making the stadium shake, rather than just seeing a thousand damn choreographies while half the crowd sits there silent (except for those brief 10-15 minute bursts when the energy picks up). But it is what it is. It's unrealistic to expect much more, so one should be perfectly satisfied with this 👍

Otherwise, last night was good; the display looked great and the atmosphere was solid enough. Moving forward, Scranton 🙂

And have a happy and blessed Easter!

So you're telling me all those choreos and flares aren't actually meant to back up the club and the players?!?
Whatever...

Respect. This right here is what sets this whole crew apart from those other fan groups out there (not talking about the BBB or Torcida types)...

Anyone got a video of the flares going off?

It's your own incompetence.

Anyway, it's pretty pathetic that while claiming to be tougher than a demon, you actually included the flag of the Copper maritime academy! 😂
