And please, give me a specific match where another group of fans completely sold out the supporter section, effectively driving down the overall attendance numbers!

Take that game between Šibenik and Dinamo back in May of last year, for instance. There were actually more Dinamo fans sitting in the West stands than there were in the designated away section, despite the official "ban" or whatever they call it. It makes you wonder what the point of these restrictions is when ticket sales decisions are made before the tickets are even released to the public. How are clubs supposed to know ahead of time if the visiting sector will be sold out or not? For Šibenik, there’s this lingering reputation that the West stand is basically reserved for the local supporters whenever Hajduk or Dinamo comes to town. From my perspective, it feels a bit ridiculous how people play on those raw emotions and manipulate situations like this, but I suppose some people genuinely care about it. Fan groups can reach an agreement in five minutes to help each other out with tickets, yet we still hear all this myth-making about suppressed Hajduk fans, which is a whole different conversation entirely.

As for the Kansas City situation, I don't feel like digging through Belupa's archives right now, but if my memory serves me, things were similar there—though in practice, it just doesn't work the way people claim, much like what happened in Šibenik. That's why these arguments usually only seem to gain traction with the people who don't actually show up to the games.

It really does exist, and honestly, the atmosphere is just as intense whether you're watching Hajduk or Dinamo play.

When you eventually find yourselves traveling to play matches in places like Italy or Austria, you'll realize that things aren't any different, even in those kinds of stadiums.

I saw that Exile flyer floating around—did they actually come back, or was there never really a boycott to begin with?
Thanks

Honestly, you don't even need to be caught up on all this; it's not like this is Instagram where you're expected to stay updated on every single little thing.

The Chelsea supporters had the exact same number of tickets available for purchase just a month ago.

Henry Hayes4 said:the whole situation is schizophrenic

Of course it feels schizophrenic...

Just try imagining what it’s like to spend eight years locked in a constant struggle against the club's own management—even though they've been the dominant force in the country for ages and consistently play in European competitions year after year. You find yourself fighting against fans who don't grasp the nuances of the situation, battling the local sentiment, clashing with other fanbases, and honestly, just wrestling with yourself. On top of all that, you somehow feel obligated to defend why there are certain people in your section celebrating goals scored against your biggest rivals.

I suppose we should all just take to the internet to nitpick and label our own clubs as corrupt or unethical just to stay on everyone's good side.

You have people coming out of the club offices to tell the newspapers that the Bad Boys aren't supporting the players or celebrating their goals, while these passive bystanders sit at home, waiting for any moment someone might react to a Dinamovac goal just so they can drag the entire group through the mud and renounce everything the ultras actually stand for.
And instead of the reasonable people simply telling them to get lost, they end up making excuses, saying, "It wasn't the whole group, just a few individuals..."

There are hundreds of supporter groups across Europe that are in direct conflict with their boards, presidents, and owners; in those places, it's considered perfectly normal to separate the fandom from the administration. It's only for the Bad Boys that these trolls try to invent these twisted, arbitrary criteria.

So many people have faced legal trouble or police reports because of some "messages" or "banners," but at this point, who really cares? Nobody complained about the trophies won in the 90s or the early 2000s, and now that things have settled down, I don't see why anyone should give a damn about any of this if it doesn't personally affect me.

It’s a strange kind of curse; on one hand, you have the establishment figures, and on the other, you have these psychopaths. They are truly just two sides of the same coin.

I was looking through some old archives earlier today when I came across this image, and it really took me back to a different era of online discussions.

Jerry Williams10 said:No, it’s just that the whole thing feels foolish and hypocritical to me. I imagine quite a few of you will have to show up for work this Friday... just as I suspect many of you will be sitting in some local pub on Friday night sipping a beer, and nobody is going to raise an eyebrow because the bar happens to be open that day. And if skipping a game is considered a religious issue, then technically we shouldn't even go out on Sundays either, since that's a day of rest and all.

Good Friday is a day for fasting and solemnity; it's the day when Jesus was crucified for your sake, so that you might live with dignity rather than like an animal. It honestly doesn't matter how much the fans drink that day or how many burgers they eat; what matters is that as a collective, we choose to align ourselves against something that is fundamentally unhealthy and goes against our better nature. This is purely a matter of indifference and a lack of consideration. The game could have easily been scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, or even next week. When there is such blatant disregard for these things, why should we just turn a blind eye?
There are plenty of reasons to play on a Sunday, or even during Easter, compared to Good Friday. You probably aren't a believer, so it all seems pretty much the same to you.

One of our own guys from the Grandstand has been held in pretrial detention in Turin for a month now, and we really need to pull together to cover his legal fees and other mounting costs.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that we raise these funds immediately—ideally by today or tomorrow—so please, take this situation to heart.
