Maybe they’re actually decent people. Perhaps nobody's even bothered to invite them out for a beer yet.

It wasn't even about the ticket prices. It was the ridiculous lines. You end up standing there for an hour just to get into a stadium that's already packed with 5,000 people. Even if you join the club and get those four select games, you still have to wait in line just to have them print your card. I was trying to figure out if season ticket holders can just walk right in or if they’re stuck in the same mess. At least the membership comes with a code, but it doesn't work—you still have to trek down to the box office for that free pass. So, yeah, more waiting.

Exactly what I meant.
There’s a barcode on the membership, but you still have to wait in line to get your physical card made.

By the way, this new centralized ticket booth setup isn't some stroke of genius. It's just creating massive lines where people are standing around for half an hour just to get into games with 10,000 fans.

I'm honestly surprised none of those local reporters have bothered to write a single word about it.

Tickets for the north stands are priced at $3.25. We’re once again urging everyone to grab an annual pass or at least pick up individual tickets during pre-sale. It’ll save you from the inevitable chaos at the box office and ensure you actually make it to your seat on time.

If you sign up for membership, you get four free games, though you still end up stuck in line waiting for them to print your card—or at least that was my experience.
How does the annual pass work?

Thanks

Does anyone have a photo of that trans girl, Jela Strela?

I was passing by Farkas Vukotinović Street and saw the Miramar underpass today.
Now you see people starting to write about how the old leaders were legends, while over in Miramar they're flying the hammer and sickle.
Is there anyone younger out there who can go down there and shut that nonsense up? It makes no sense.

They’re banking on a sellout crowd once those damn...miura crew types show up

The suburbs handled their part, but then they diverted the federal grants meant for insulation elsewhere.
So now, almost every building has a brand-new facade.
😁

It’s all just North Stand propaganda🤣 disguised as short comments.

I was going to say you're probably the closest thing to the truth here
Because online, all you ever read is how "certain people" should have dealt with Mamić from day one... as if they could actually run a club like that.
Nobody stops to consider that everything progressed in stages.
In the beginning, everyone was basically saying, "Let's just move forward," and we were seeing great results given the circumstances in the US.
It’s always strange when someone finally writes a sensible post.

Terry Howard7 said:It wouldn't happen today because the circumstances are incomparable, but back in 2005 or 2006 when things were hitting the fan, it would have been ugly. Most people have short memories, but I remember the welcome for Kranjčar quite clearly. Back then, our local heavyweights were tearing things up while ten thousand people were busy undermining us. It would have been chaos.

Our beloved Srica is from Split, which means Stimac doesn't stand a chance of replicating what his "successful" idol managed to do. The only reason he achieved anything was because he stayed close to the altar—connecting himself with the upper echelons of politics, the judiciary, and the police. There isn't even a fraction of a percent chance we could pull that off with Hajdukon.

But let's say in some parallel universe Stimac actually succeeded like this guy did; what would have stopped him? Back then, most people weren't standing with the hardcore supporters because of those few titles won amidst European embarrassment. If the club were playing in the Champions League and churning out multi-million dollar transfers, we would have swallowed it whole. It’s just that old-school mentality. I remember vividly that aside from the die-hards, ninety percent of the casual fans and the "old guard" had the mindset of "we just need a Mamić."

However, as the years passed, new generations grew up, and through sheer grit, we reached a point where every mention of "we need a Mamić" is met with mockery and shame. That is our greatest victory.

It's a solid take, but let me tell you something.
Today, none of that works. If you recall, they used to hand out thousands of dollars to the twenty-thousandth spectator just to get anyone to show up, since nobody was traveling for European matches anyway.
We’re talking about celebrating titles in front of a hundred people and similar schemes.
The last one had maybe fifty people there... but everyone acts like it's fine, blaming the new coach or claiming it's just due to bad weather.
Back at the start, though—listen, it's hard to explain to regular folks that a club playing in the Champions League and winning title after title can also have a rotten board.
They'd give out free shirts, sausages, beer... a real backyard BBQ vibe.
Just imagine it—and I'm sure you know this yourself—ten years ago, when you were beating Dinamo every single time, winning championships, and playing in the Champions League, how would people look at you if you started spitting on the management?

And here’s the coach’s take on why the stands were empty

"I have to hand it to the fans who showed up; the conditions were brutal, honestly borderline inhumane. Their loyalty is something else, and I'm grateful for them. I’m just hoping more people start showing up once the weather clears up and we actually start playing like a real team."

🤦

🤣
You really think he’d go as far as disguising himself as part of the ultras crew🤣

People here constantly complain about low attendance, then turn around and whine when fans actually show up to support the owner and a club that's basically bought every championship in sight.
I suppose they should all show up in droves, just not to celebrate the goals—they want to cheer, but apparently not for the club this administration runs. It's exhausting.
It's hard to stomach, especially knowing we'll be dealing with this for years to come.☕

We could always pivot the route, maybe head toward the Catskills or wherever the group decides to settle on 🤣

When you see a player score and doesn't even get a fraction of a response from the stands, it’s a sign of how bleak things have become for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But that's just life here. If everyone starts walking out, I guess I'll be right behind them...
Otherwise, if you're tired of wasting your youth standing in line only to end up in some cramped section, just head over to the Avenue Mall and pick up a ticket like a civilized human being.

- We know we aren't where we need to be yet, regardless of the praise coming from UEFA or the FBI. You can't justify hooliganism with some "romanticized" nonsense; there’s no place for it in our stadiums. The USSF can't tackle this alone—we need real government leverage, and lately, it seems like the authorities are becoming far too sympathetic toward these elements. Headlines should be about the players, not the thugs—says USSF Executive Director Damir Vrbanović, per the USSF.

Conference attendees have agreed to ramp up efforts to create an integrated security approach to protect fans by banning hooligans from matches. To that end, representatives from organized supporter groups are being invited to an open dialogue to clear out the obstacles preventing positive fan culture from taking hold.

☕

People need to start using their heads if they actually want to see change. But most folks couldn't care less; they just wait to swap one idiot at the top for another...
So, I guess God is in charge here, huh...
