I just have one question for Gademz. Was that flare show coordinated with the administration—you know, the cops? It felt like it was for an anniversary.
The Flare Show was to mark October 4th, the date of the city takeover. There wasn't any special deal made. Usually, when we mark these things, the police and officers leave us alone. They didn't touch us then, and they won't now. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the takeover, and just because of one flare, one of our guys gets a year-long ban. Honestly, the local SWAT teams are some of the worst when it comes to this stuff. You can see it by how nonchalantly people hold flares in the stands. For context, we've only had 19 flares lit in 19 years since the takeover.
Larry Ramirez's question isn't even worth a response. When you consider that we're sitting near the bottom of the standings, haven't beaten anyone in six months, and are fighting every week just to keep the club from being liquidated, a group of 25 people isn't a joke.
I also have to give credit to the Black Knights for their incredible messages against the USSF; they wouldn't even let us post ours. And the fan solidarity at the end was great—singing "USSF bastards, you screwed over Savannah" and the joint chanting against the gangs.
