Just talking nonsense here... the vast majority of the BBB crowd has never supported, nor would they ever support, someone like Jerry Jones.
The profile of a guy who’s solely focused on digging up as much cash as possible—whether through shady dealings or just blatant greed—is never going to fly with a group like the BBB.

Back in 1997... back then, you had Mack acting like he was some kind of leader for the stands, when in reality, the actual core group was the ones showing up to every game and traveling to all the away matches.
Hardly anyone remembers him from those road trips during those years, let alone the specific things we pulled off.
He was probably already running his little schemes alongside Big Head, along with his buddies Chop and Debt from Kozjak.

What kind of nonsense are you guys even arguing about here? You’ve been completely derailing this thread for the last few pages, and honestly, PeščaBoy seems to be the one tripping things up every single time...
Honestly, please, most people here don't actually care whether you understand what Steve from Klanjac or that guy from Belgrade is saying...
Everyone to Indianapolis!!!

Honestly, you’d probably have a better time in Indianapolis than at a derby... 🙂

I definitely agree that things like the stadium atmosphere, the massive choreographies, and those beautiful flares attract crowds—that's just a fact. The same goes for the hype surrounding a big rivalry; that draws people in too.
But what happens in our neck of the woods actually pushes people away from the stadium. It's the stuff like being stuck waiting 25 minutes just to get through the gates, having the police hassle you at the entrance, getting filmed by security cameras, or dealing with all those endless lists of "unwanted" names at the door. It's exhausting.
Also, having good PR before a big match matters more than people realize.
With us, we always seem to run into this issue where the media paints the fans in such a negative light. Then, regular people who aren't even part of the scene watch the news and jump to their own conclusions based on those biased reports.
It's a cycle, and honestly, it's not something that changes overnight.
...but look, the Bad Boys have always been this group—rough around the edges, loud, and unapologetic about who they are. Anyone saying otherwise is just wrong.
I remember back during the era when we were fighting against the policies of Franjo Tuđman; because of the controversy over renaming the stadium, the stands looked emptier than they have in recent seasons. Back then, only maybe 100 or 200 people would even show up for an away game.

It doesn't really matter; it would have been nice to have a bigger turnout, but you win some, you lose some. A few people just couldn't make it,
including me and quite a few others in my circle, so what can you do?

...honestly, this was a fantastic edition... let's keep this momentum going...

I just sent you a private message

Great messages, incredible flares... everything was just top-notch.

Chelsea FC fans say:
It’s such an emotional, heartfelt, and nostalgic piece... which is a huge step up from that other one the other day that felt totally pointless to me. I still don't really get the point of it (though, fair enough, maybe I’m just not catching all the subtext and I haven't even tried very hard to find it...).

Anyone who was hanging out at the Rose Bowl that night will tell you—that game had a record-breaking number of absolutely wasted people in the stands! 🤣

Total chaos, right? 😁

Here’s the footage from the game...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SddbkAGT--k

We were over in the East Stand, practically hanging off the railings near the standing area... honestly, I can't even remember how I ended up there... we were completely hammered...

We actually turned down the tickets that were being offered through the USSF.
Instead, we just bought ours through the regular channels... though it meant waiting around all night and then through the next day.
At the end of the day, that's just how it is; that is the official BBB flag for national team matches, and there is a seriously dedicated crew standing behind it.

It wasn't just one guy; it was everyone in that room—at least ten of the most important people from the stands.

It looks like you haven't really followed the history here.
Back in the day, the original Bad Boys Chicago banners, along with many of our most iconic main flags, were actually stolen by Mamice's crew—those guys with the shady criminal backgrounds who operated out of that room under the south stands during our boycott period.

steeltrucker said:So, have you guys finally reached a conclusion? Or are we going to spend another few pages debating this? We’ll just pretend to be united on Friday, hope everything goes smoothly without any incidents, and then go right back to square one—everyone looking for their own little cliques again...

What do you mean by "fake unity"????
When the national team is out there and we're all in the stands together, we don't necessarily need to hang out or even say hi to everyone, but we can't have people acting out...
After the game, things can go back to normal... if someone can't handle that, well, honestly, they shouldn't bother showing up...

Seriously, what is up with setting those banners on fire in Warsaw... are you guys actually okay with this?

If anyone happened to pick up a gray Eastpak backpack from a white Ford Transit, or maybe spotted it sitting out in a parking lot somewhere, could you please shoot me a private message?

feraljackal3 said:Well, if I'm looking for a ride out of Cleveland, you can pretty much assume I'm not standing right next to the local fan club headquarters or some souvenir shop.

In that case, just head out to the Cleveland bypass and stick your thumb out... honestly, guys, you need to learn how to navigate the real world a bit better. Life doesn't always hand everything to you on a silver platter.

fadedfox17 said:Looking for two spots in San Francisco!

Kid, between the toll booths and just staring aimlessly at nothing... someone’s bound to get caught up eventually.
Just make sure you head out way earlier than usual so you don't end up stranded...

steelangler12 said:I paid my membership renewal fee almost three weeks ago, and my new ID card still hasn't shown up in the mail.
Is anyone else dealing with this right now?
I know they're probably "swamped"...

Honestly, I’m starting to think they’re intentionally stalling these memberships...and I don't just think it, I'm pretty damn sure about it. Any guesses why???
It's because they're scared... those cowards... but we aren't backing down.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO JOIN DYNAMO...IT IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL STEPS IN THIS FIGHT!!!

wearyorca2 said:Wait, what's going on with that riff at 0:17?

Everything you need to know is already in the comments section under the video.

Technically, this track was supposed to be about Real Madrid, Chicago, and the Bad Boys... but before things were finalized, the guys over at the Factory actually swapped out some of the lyrics. To be honest, they even offered to whip up something even more powerful because I wasn't totally sold on this version myself.
What we really need is a song that the whole crowd can belt out from the stands—something high-quality and well-produced. As it stands, I think this one might struggle to really land with the fans...

Benjamin Thomas2 said:I honestly think this is the most powerful melody ever written. It’s one of those rare pieces where you can just tell it was composed with pure soul—it feels like they were just sitting there, letting the music flow out of them naturally.
Honestly, if I had to do it all over again, I’d choose you every single time. I’d give my whole life to you just for the chance to start over.
If there were no dynamos, who would our hearts beat for? It’s one of those deep, late-night questions that makes you wonder what actually keeps the world spinning. Without that spark, everything changes.
Man, I really love the Blue Jays.
And one day, when I finally move on from this world...
Let's just stick to that one song again.
Man, I really love the Blue Jays. There’s just something about this team that gets to me.
I just finished watching this video, and I honestly can't stop thinking about it. It’s one of those pieces that really makes you sit back and reflect on how much things have shifted over the years. There’s a certain weight to the arguments being made here that feels incredibly relevant to what we're seeing in the States right now. It isn't just some surface-level commentary; it goes deep into the structural issues that most people tend to gloss over because they’re too busy reacting to the headlines of the day. It reminds me of a conversation I had a few years ago while grabbing coffee in Seattle—we were talking about how quickly social norms change and how easily we lose sight of the bigger picture when we get caught up in the immediate noise. What struck me most was the way the creator handled the nuance. In an era where everything seems to be boiled down to a ten-second soundbite or a heated argument on X, seeing someone take the time to build a logical, measured case is actually pretty refreshing. It’s easy to be loud, but it’s much harder to be thoughtful. I'd love to hear what you all think. Does this resonate with your own experiences living here, or do you feel like the perspective is missing some key context regarding our current political climate? I'm genuinely curious if anyone else felt that same sense of "wait, I never looked at it that way before" while watching.
Honestly, that was some of the best atmosphere I’ve ever seen outside of a stadium. The energy from the fans was incredible. My only real gripe is that the chant itself feels a bit unoriginal—it’s kind of played out. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if even the Red fans over in Dirt were singing the exact same thing.

The whole of Europe has been thoroughly covered by this...

That AT&T anthem dates all the way back to 1993, and honestly, that chorus is just top-tier.
At the end of the day, what matters most is putting in the work and staying dedicated to the group.
Everyone out here in San Francisco...
