Is there anyone out in the Washington, D.C. area who would be willing to help me try and revive a USB drive along with all the data currently sitting on it? The drive is almost certainly infected with viruses; nothing will open, and every single time I plug it in, it just keeps prompting me to format it. Shoot me a private message if you can help. Thanks.
Since our next away game falls on Good Friday, the BBB group won't be making the trip for this one.
It’s honestly disgraceful that the league leadership doesn't see the issue with scheduling matches on the anniversary of Jesus' death, and we simply refuse to be a part of it.
This has long since evolved beyond just cheering for some local soccer club, which is what most fans around the world do. Everything is basically broken down in those two articles linked on the previous page—that’s the history of the BBB. That’s how things stand today, and I’m sure it’ll stay this way for a while until things finally return to normal at the club.
Going to the match today is more about standing our ground; it’s about showing that we won't back down and that those of us who love this club unconditionally will never accept it being taken over by villains. Seriously, never. Even in the absolute worst-case scenario—like a shady privatization (which seems to be exactly what's brewing based on the news reports)—we can't give up, because it’s never truly over and there are always different ways to fight for the goal. Personally, I think what’s happening right now is fantastic; there’s such a positive energy in the stands, the group is growing, new chapters are opening up, there are new banners, and you can really feel the momentum. We aren't just cheering for a team; we are cheering for an ideal, for something we don't have right now, and if I may say so, for something we’ve never truly had but certainly deserve.
All in all, let's just keep moving forward calmly without getting too worked up; things are actually rolling along quite well and it'll turn out okay. Everyone knows the situation, but I wanted to briefly share my perspective.
Real Madrid has been this absolute anomaly in the football world for years, largely because the vast majority of the crowd consists of hardcore ultras. And honestly, it’s true. People clearly love the sport and they love the club, but they just don't care for the way things are being run right now, which is why the stands are often empty. On the flip side, there's this deep-seated sense of duty among the die-hards to show up at the stadium whenever they can, and that’s exactly why the Bad Boys are always there. 😉
I was running a few minutes late to kickoff, but I have to say, seeing how packed the stands were really caught me off guard in the best way possible. The atmosphere and the chanting were absolutely electric 👍
There was quite a massive line for tickets before the match, though the flow of people was surprisingly smooth, so I have to give the club credit for managing that so well. Just curious, did they require ID for everyone across all sections, or was that just for the North Stand?
Here we go again—another preview laying out what looks like a grueling mid-season stretch for the Bad Boys, though honestly, at this point, it’s hardly a shock to anyone.
But hey, there's no turning back now; we just have to keep pushing forward.
That’s the one, thanks! But I remember there was an even better shot—taken from the opposite side and from a bit further back—so if anyone happens to have a copy of it, please post it. Tnx
Does anyone happen to have a photo from the stands when that sign went up saying "Neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party, just Los Angeles FC and the Bad Boys"? Thanks.
I’m looking for some solid recommendations for a physical therapist who actually specializes in sports injuries—specifically leg issues stemming from running.
Ideally, I'd love to find someone located around Brooklyn, Capitol Hill, or near the Santa Monica Pier, though I'm not strictly tied to those areas if the right expert is elsewhere.
There’s no point in pretending that better ticket organization is going to fix anything if the people running the show simply don't care about actually bringing fans through the gates. It's been the same story for years, and honestly, it feels like absolutely nothing has changed. Man, I spent thirty agonizing minutes packed in like a sardine in that tragicomic "line" just to get tickets. Meanwhile, there were only about 6,500 people at the stadium, including the Armada.
Are there any examples in America of sports organizations that operate multiple different sections under one single umbrella?
I’ve been thinking about this concept for a while now, and I honestly think it's a great idea. If these clubs could actually tap into that kind of synergy, they would gain so much more recognition and truly start to prosper—and naturally, we fans would reap all the benefits along with them.
Since getting back to the stadium, I’ve really started to notice how much more active the group has become; they aren't just showing up on match days, but they're putting in serious work behind the scenes too—everything from rolling out new chants to stepping up their communication with the members and strengthening the local chapters... Great job, guys 👍
Drew Booth60 said:I headed up to the North Stand for the first time since my boycott back in 2010, and I have to say, I’m genuinely surprised! Usually, during a massive derby against our biggest rivals, you expect to spend the whole game clashing with the opposing fans, but instead, I spent all 90 minutes right in the thick of it, shouting and cheering alongside my fellow supporters! Everyone around me was singing and roaring; it was so intense, I felt completely immersed in that atmosphere. Aside from a few moments where the chanting got a bit split, the noise level was more than good, and there were several euphoric bursts that were just incredible. I don't know how it looked on TV or what the general vibe was for everyone else, but after being away from the stadium for so many years, I’m more than satisfied. Screw those numbers—even though I couldn't hear them, looking at their section, it seemed like besides a few instances, most of the energy was coming from the group centered around the main banner, though it’s hard to be objective when I was stationed in the North. A lot of kids, surprisingly, weren't just busy taking selfies; they were actually cheering for the full 90 minutes, which was a really pleasant surprise for me!
Just some food for thought. During the game against the Dallas Cowboys, flyers were being handed out all over the stands, including instructions telling people not to film or take photos from the North Stand. On top of that, anyone who ignored the notices or missed them entirely was being given extra warnings. I’m not saying everything was perfect right away during such a huge derby, but I want to point this out as a positive example of how things should be handled. There will always be outliers who don't follow the rules—sometimes out of pure ignorance—but when it comes to education and setting standards, you can never stop trying.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the folks living in those buildings right across from the West Stands end up installing double-paned windows just to get some peace. 😁
Charles Chase4 said:Looking at everything that physically defines this club in its current state, the only thing that isn't—or shouldn't be—subject to all that hatred is the crest and the name; both have been tarnished so deeply by certain groups lately that I honestly wonder if they'll ever truly be able to reclaim their reputation.
The ideal and the core concept are different things entirely, existing right now only in the minds of the fans over in Brooklyn and within the Los Angeles Galaxy, which, if you ask me, might actually be the finest thing the Bad Boys have ever produced.
I would also add the people to that list—the supporters who keep that entire idea breathing—because, in reality, everything starts with them. We can't lose sight of that.
Right now, we feel like a nation without a country; we lack what rightfully belongs to us, yet our goal remains incredibly clear and focused, and I truly believe it is within our reach.
Huge props to everyone who showed up. Even the smallest effort matters during times as tough as these, and seeing that kind of turnout in the stands is honestly impressive.
It feels like some people are actually rooting for stagnation or just waiting for the next disaster, purely so they can keep complaining. I don't know what kind of mindset drives that level of pessimism, but it’s completely useless. Does anyone honestly believe that after this resignation tomorrow, everything will suddenly be perfect and follow the letter of the law? Of course not. If the law had been enforced properly from the start, we wouldn't have been dragging our feet through this mess for years. But you have to start somewhere; we can't just sit around perpetually waiting for change while drowning in defeatism. This is at least a step in the right direction. Let's try to bring a little positivity to the table, everyone.
