I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT *MIGHT* HAPPEN—IT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE!!! Everything will become obvious, but it’ll happen in its own time!!

Tyler Thomas15 said:... that this forum has been stuck in the same circular debate for two days now—the exact kind of nonsense we were dealing with five or six years ago over at the Ultras site.

I think I'll throw some fuel on this fire and just ask one thing.

1. Is it actually true that the Congressional meeting was postponed because the team supposed to lead the session isn't even part of the organization?

P.S.
I am only interested in relevant answers.

And may you find some peace lately!!!

Everyone is waiting for this meeting like it’s a divine revelation. People—you don't seem to realize that we’ve already started splitting into factions. Regardless of who comes out on top, the division is going to persist—because you can't function without us, and we can't function without you. But there is no middle ground here. It's all falling apart... the Ultras are basically on medical leave—taking maternity leave until a new generation shows up. R.I.P.

steeltrucker said:Until the general assembly meets, let's just stop commenting on the same old nonsense and the same people—once that happens, everything changes. You don't need an invitation to the meeting; being a member of the organization is the only requirement. Show up, state your business, and give us your opinion. After that? Well, we’ll listen to whoever gets elected—it doesn't matter who it is. AMEN.

Lately, everyone seems to think they're some kind of genius, but there's nothing behind it. People have been lurking on this forum for weeks ever since the recent shake-ups, doing nothing but whining like a bunch of toddlers.

Let's focus our energy on taking action against the league leadership instead of obsessing over these "private" petty dramas until the assembly. When you get there, say what you have to say—complain, cry, vent all you want... but once the vote is cast, we stand together behind whoever is chosen. Let's just wish them luck and move on.

Lekic? Please. That’s not going to change a thing.

Tyler Thomas15 said:Look, Prik—it’s just poetic license. Don't go playing the victim now. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm still waiting for an answer regarding who actually wrote this. A private message works too. ☕

The subgroup calls themselves "the gentlemen"...

Matthew Foster8 said:I’ve been hearing a lot of noise lately about this—everyone seems to have an opinion on it. 🙂
While others were busy building organized supporter groups, "we" decided to bank everything on populism and sheer numbers instead. We chased the masses—and now that people have finally had their fill, they’re acting surprised by things that should have been obvious from the start. Why the shock? 🙂 Look, I don't personally hold any grudges, nor does any of this really bother me that much.
I can't just spend my whole life talking to the same ten or sixteen people—it’s time I shared a few thoughts here, too. 🙂
I’ve been sitting here all morning ruminating on something—how those few years when the forum was actually active were arguably more vital to the group's existence than the entire twenty-year history of the supporters' club at the local stadium. Aside from the obvious stuff like legal fees or funding massive choreographies—honestly, I have no idea where the money even goes half the time—that digital era did more for us. Back in the early to mid-2000s, we didn't have that kind of capital. We couldn't just buy our way into influence. But that was exactly when things shifted—when people finally opened their eyes and started paying attention. That platform provided essential communication and a window to the outside world; it was the foundation for everything we see now. It gave rise to several core groups—individuals who remain the very heart and edge of the North stands today. It offered a sense of mindset for the younger generation—teaching them how to carry themselves both on the streets and in the stands. If you want to prove yourself, that's where it started. 🙂
When I first started showing up to games, you actually had someone to look up to—there was a real sense of community. It wasn't some half-hearted effort where people would sing for five minutes and then drift off; there was a genuine pull to the group. But when that core foundation disappears? What’s left to draw the younger crowd in? Without a cohesive group to rally around, you lose the incidents, the rebellion, and everything else that drives youth culture. We're looking at 2012 now—everything is digital anyway—so if there isn't a physical presence to grab your attention, you might as well just stay online.
If I recall correctly—and I usually do—Tyler Thomas15 actually mentioned once, quite a while back, that he could probably put together a full-blown white paper on this entire mess. 🙂
As for those groups— 😛 Groups that have possessed a clear ideology and a specific street mentality from day one—passed down through generations from the stands to the pavement—probably don't even need an online presence. Take those Naples fans, for example; they don't bother with a website, yet they have deep-rooted connections in hundreds upon hundreds of people out on the street. They clearly don't need it. Meanwhile, you have the most unorganized "organized" group on the planet—thousands upon thousands of them, supposedly the largest membership base in existence—and somehow, that’s considered pure gold. 🙂
And now we’re looking at a seesaw—a perfect 50/50 split between left and right, up and down—waiting to see if the NFL Ultras can actually make a choice. Or rather, is it even possible for them to decide?
Who cares? Even if things don't go our way, we still have this—a little singing, a little playing. 😍
In any case, stay lucky—I’ll see you around somewhere, my first love. 🙂

The Chicago Blackhawks fans have lost their identity—at least in my eyes. We’ve essentially devolved into nothing more than a crowd looking for a good time. If we ever want to matter again, we need to go back to square one. We need a clear ideology: who are we, what do we stand for, and exactly what kind of group do we actually want to be?

silentotter17 said:Look, I see things a bit differently. It isn’t all about the money—it’s about those priceless memories you build along the way. In five or ten years, you’re going to want to pull out an old disc, binge-watch a whole season, and just relive those moments, whether they were massive championship games or some random Tuesday night matchup against a team like the Brewers or the Mariners. That’s how you ensure you’ve actually built a legacy worth looking back on. People are only looking at one thing. For God's sake.

I agree that we need more time—but honestly, if they just held off on releasing the DVD until the end of the season, they’d have way more breathing room to actually get it right. Wouldn't a higher quality product be worth the wait?

To wrap things up, I honestly think those few hundred people—who actually bothered to pay because they give a damn about supporting the work—matter way more than the 200,000 random views on YouTube. Wouldn't you agree?

I'm thinking exactly the same way—even though I know damn well I'm probably the only one who sees it this way.😉

I completely agree with you—we need to start prioritizing the fans over the general public. Isn't that where the real heart of the game lies?

Come on, NFL Ultras... let's step up and back this guy.

Alex Campbell54 said:Finding a decent spot for KC is going to be tough—especially since everyone is heading toward the downtown core.😉

Just light a flare, throw it right in his face, and tell him to go film his own mother instead.😍

wanderingpuma18 said:Chicago 🙏

everyone get some breakfast 😍

Dana Taylor12 said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LSRb436blQ
Chicagoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 🙂🤣

So this guy is telling me the official site claims we’re celebrating some massive 90th anniversary with the Green Machine 😍.

What kind of nonsense is this now? For crying out loud, just pick a side and stick to it.

Mark Carter10 said:More people were involved in keeping the S magic fans active than any other supporter group ever saw 😉—but since guys like you felt personally attacked, it’s all dwindled down to nothing. Why bother sharing anything new for the good of the NFL Ultras or trying to make actual friends when everyone's too busy shouting, "The NFL Ultras are the greatest in the world, even in outer space, 1950"
?
Anyway, enjoy your meal and goodnight!

Until the next debate...

😍 obviously

modern fans 🙂

now that I've had my dinner, I'll go look into some fencing—might actually find it interesting..

neonhawk15 said:If you felt targeted by any part of his post, then maybe you’re the one who needs to go grab some food—and perhaps a little common sense while you're at it.

You all spun this whole drama about whether or not the message was sent to that unnamed person, but you completely overlooked the fact that not everyone stays in that loop. It’s only a specific group of people, so an oversight is always a possibility. It was unintentional, and that’s where the argument ends.

And what about the Magic fans? You forgot that only a handful of guys maintain that connection, so mistakes regarding the flag are bound to happen—not that it matters much since they were barely visible anyway, given how few people actually stood with them.😍

As for the "bread and milk" comment—honestly, sometimes that makes for a pretty decent dinner...

Mark Carter10 said:There were people out there with signs on Sunday morning—you could have easily brought that proposal of yours to them then...
The way you people dump your "wisdom" all over this forum—honestly, what is it? You’re truly one of a kind in the entire world.

You all act like hardcore ultras behind a keyboard—but once you actually show up to the stadium, you're nothing more than mindless hooligans. 😛 🤣 I’m losing my mind here...

P.S. Just let it all go.
JI...

Check your DMs!

So you’re acting like a hooligan when you’re hanging around the stands, but the second the game starts, you suddenly turn into an ultra? Please.😍
Go mash some bread and milk together and eat that instead—it’s clearly more your speed.😍

Werder vs. Real Madrid friendly on Oct 6th 😍

This is going to be absolute chaos—way too much hype for a preseason match, isn't it?😍

Douglas Stewart65 said:Everyone complains about the signs, yet nobody seems to have the guts to say which ☕

Personally, I've got an issue with that 1950 figure—I’d much rather see you guys just be the absolute best instead.😍

Sean Gonzalez47 said:...WELL, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THERE WERE AT LEAST A DOZEN PEOPLE BEHIND ALL THOSE BANNERS—AND IF YOU THINK SOMEONE WAS LEFT OUT, BY ALL MEANS, TELL ME WHO...😉
AS FOR THIS WHOLE DEBATE ABOUT CHANTING FROM THE STANDS? LOOK, MY FRIENDS, YOU AREN'T GOING TO FORCE NEW ANTHEMS THROUGH THE INTERNET. GET IN THERE WITH YOUR OWN CREW, START SINGING, AND IF THE LEAD GUY LIKES WHAT HE HEARS, HE'LL JOIN IN—AND THEN THE REST OF THE CROWD WILL FOLLOW ONCE THEY SEE THE MOMENTUM BUILDING...

Do you have any specific songs in mind?😍

Douglas Stewart65 said:Which one specifically is bothering you? 🤷

Speak up—man up. 😁

None of them bother me personally. As far as I can tell, the whole "dog" situation was just a specific arrangement made for upcoming away games with a set number of people—you know, following that old rule about needing at least four people to qualify as part of the Black Knights. Or does that standard even mean anything anymore?😍

Maybe I’m just overthinking things, but if that’s the case, my apologies.😍

Tyler Thomas15 said:Look, I know the answer—but I’m not telling you, even if I do think you're a decent person. ☕

We really need to move this forum back to Red Army. Honestly, I'm getting sick of this setup. . 🙂🙂🙂
