Honestly, this is just pathetic 🙂

Do I seriously have to sit in the exact seat listed on my ticket?

Yes, you must follow the seating chart, which security will be enforcing. It’s vital that everyone sits in their assigned spot because the person whose name is on the ticket is legally responsible for that specific seat.

Unbelievable. You don't see this kind of nonsense anywhere else. They’re obsessed with making sure they know exactly where every single person is sitting. If you sit somewhere else and some idiot decides to start a brawl or something, they’ll pin it on you through no fault of your own... just because according to their little spreadsheet, Pero Perić is supposed to be in that chair!🙂 🙂
They don't care about anything except making life miserable for ninety minutes!

An indictment?!

Daniel Carter9 said:I’m writing this as someone who’s always pushed for these explanations—trying to bridge the gap with regular people, trying to get different stands and groups to actually talk to each other... mostly because I am just a regular fan from the East Side, and that’s been my whole goal from day one:

There is absolutely zero need to explain anything to anyone... none! It’s all been explained a thousand times already. At its core, this whole mess is just about honor and refusing to compromise on that honor. What good is someone’s support, their understanding, or a pat on the back if it means selling out our ideals, our pride, and all the friends who got screwed over because they refused to bend over for three years straight? They didn't buckle. They didn't compromise. They accepted whatever fate came their way, knowing full well that standing their ground would cost them everything...

What do you gain from the support of those who play nice with the cops and run the bars under the stands? What’s the point of getting close to the people who just "like" LA Galaxy on Facebook, care only about the August results, and spend their time joking around with the crowd? How are you going to look at all those people in the eye later—the ones who got wrecked because they wouldn't budge on things where there simply is no middle ground?

The BBB didn't just pick the hard path... they chose the hardest route in history. The BBB consciously chose self-destruction if that’s what it takes to keep their integrity and honor. The BBB settled accounts with their own past, stripped everything down to the bone, and chose maybe even their own ruin... on purpose. What use does a group like that have for the support of compromisers? That message in San Francisco said everything there needed to be said about the "scene"... and I hope that from the perspective of an ordinary guy, I’ve explained that constant drive to connect with the everyday fan. Those people aren't around anymore... one part became BBB, the largest part left along with Mamić's trash, and the last bit turned into Mamić's little helpers.
Because of everyone who got crushed for refusing to be a sellout, nobody has the right to start mocking people for making compromises just because it's easier. There is no "easy." It’s either honest or it’s dirty. Honest until the very last man standing.

You're right...👍

Melissa Reyes45 said:Look, you guys were all about showing solidarity with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Black Knights plenty of times before... I won't even start listing our battles against all those corrupt suits in the past. We raise our voices to support the fans after the cops open fire, only to find out some little punk is posting online about how much they hate us. Whatever. We’ll still step up when it counts, whether it's one of yours or someone else's. You have my full support in this fight, but don't expect me or my people to stay quiet just because you want to ignore the shady business involving that snake person... you won't get away with being hypocrites. I'm not digging up the past here, but after what happened to those folks in that heroic city, I'll say it a hundred times if I have to: it wasn't an accident. It happened just a week before those extremists targeted the people in that city. Maybe I'm tripping and someone will disagree, but if one of my own had done that, it would be thrown in their face. And don't get me started on the total collapse... not worth the breath. God, I hope you guys take him down. Seriously. But you know deep down you lost the battle in your own backyard, not because of person... he's a whole different story. Good luck!!

My late grandma would’ve told you, "there's nothing but rocks in your head." When are you going to realize what this is doing to us? That it’s eventually going to hit you too, or do I need to draw you a map? The guy is untouchable. He's got tentacles reaching into US Soccer, politics, the police department, everything. Anyone with half a brain knows we can only win if we all fight him together.

darkcyclist212 said:Whether anyone has actually sat down and thought this through yet doesn't really matter right now. The concept is solid, and I'm all in. I've been following this thread religiously, and the whole mess with the LA Galaxy and the BBB has been picked apart over the last few days... there just aren't enough concrete steps on how we move forward. But look, nobody's throwing in the towel. Not us.
We need to push this through. Seriously—I don't care if there was a master plan or not, it hasn't happened yet, and it can't hurt to try. It'll only help. We just need to nail the content for the brochure... keep it brief, hit the essentials, and don't drag it out because nobody wants to read a novel. Make it look sharp, too. Visually appealing. Sure, it'll cost something, but we can probably just slap some sponsors on the back to cover the tab. If we end up needing help with copying or printing, I'm happy to jump in and help directly.
It's about engaging people and educating them, in every way possible.

Look, I'm putting myself out there. I'll help however I can. Just shoot me a PM so we can figure something out.

We've gotta keep moving forward somehow...

All three installments are live on the site. They could be bundled into one little read that everyone absolutely needs to check out!

Robert Davis12 said:Look, we could sit here all day picking apart every little thing anyone else has said, pointing fingers at who was out of line just to justify our own nonsense. But if you don't realize that everything is slowly, inevitably going to hell and that we actually need to pull together, then you're seriously delusional. It’s not about being buddies or sucking up to anyone, but the bare minimum—what honestly should have happened yesterday—is showing some solidarity with The Boys because of the crap they're dealing with. That same crap could be knocking on our door any day now. Thinking that the kind of crackdown happening in Washington, D.C. couldn't possibly happen in Miami is just lying to ourselves... and once we finally open our eyes, I'm terrified it'll already be too late. Anyway, I'm not trying to start a war here. Props to the people actually trying, but it's a depressing reality that most people's awareness regarding fan culture isn't just at zero... it's deep in the negatives.

👍

And then you'll all sit there asking yourselves, "How did this even happen to us?"...

Melissa Reyes45 said:A week before we face Mexico, you’re out here attacking folks from the Midwest and throwing insults? Seriously? You’ve got some nerve talking about supporter solidarity when you’re busy tearing each other apart... people aren't going to forget this collapse anytime soon, which is exactly why things turned out the way they did. Don't come at us. We're fighting our own battles against the corrupt leadership at the USSF in our own way. Instead of targeting your own neighbors just because they won't camp out in front of the stadium with you...

If the whole Black and Gold Army thinks like you, then you guys are seriously screwed. Why on earth are you mixing internal drama with something where it’s all or nothing for everyone? If we start playing that game, everyone can just dig up old grudges whenever they feel like it... Look at The Armada for once. If you’ve even heard them roar against Jerry Jones, the USSF, or UEFA...

Dennis Davis97 said:Not one single mention of Jerry Jones the Gypsy? Seriously...
Fan mentality? It’s gone down the drain... honestly, just completely lost in the gutter. 😢

Main thing is, most of these idiots are already puffing out their chests, acting like they’re actually gonna say something to him... 🤣 Look, nobody asked you guys to spend the entire game taking shots at him... honestly. A couple of well-timed jabs here and there would've been more than enough!
As long as things stay this way, you shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore... honestly.

Alex Baker2 said:I think we all need to face reality after this mess... we aren't the ones who are going to take him down. 🤷

Look, deep down, everyone knows we can't just oust him ourselves. But nobody’s actually going to sit around waiting for permission, either. People are just leaning in, trying to push things along as fast as possible. We've seen enough fans get banned or shut out to know that we have to stop playing their game and change our tactics entirely. That last game was just a preview of what's coming... and honestly? I think the next round is going to be even more intense. Boycott the home games, go absolutely wild during away games, and just apply pressure from every single angle they can't ignore.

Jesse Campbell said:The East Side didn't rise up because of the North; it was the other way around. 😉

And that just proves my point. Most of the real Real Madrid fans still don't even show up to games. That old East Side crowd... they were the soul of Yankee Stadium.

Man, we can argue about whether the decision was right all day, but the reality is that the die-hards stayed, plus a few thousand poor souls you can buy off with a rotten apple. But there are very few true Real Madrid fans left.

One day the Crazy ones had 5,000 people out, while Real Madrid had maybe 8,000 or 9,000. It doesn't matter if it's an open gate, summer, or whatever... people would watch men wrestling in the mud at this rate. But even those numbers? They're pathetic...

On the flip side, when they set decent ticket prices—like what they did for the LP last year—the stadium sits empty. Don't just blame a "crisis" or poverty, because stadiums are getting fuller all over Europe, even with much worse economic situations than ours.

Jerry Maguire hasn't won anyone over; he's just losing ground. Two years ago, the stadium was packed because he cleaned things up a bit. Now? The only thing that’ll bring people back is some massive, heavy-hitting European name.

Yeah, sure. The North rose up because of the East, but half the crew from the East moved over to the North to chill and watch the game against the Sheriff. Why do you think nobody lifted a finger or offered any support, even though there were 12,000 people in the stadium?

James Ruiz57 said:Honestly, I am so sick of this crap...🙂 Anyone who actually shows up to the games knows that 90 minutes of noise is impossible—it's more like 20 minutes tops before everyone starts turning on him and his mafia crew.

It’s clearly too much for them, but you have to admit we haven't been this vocal since that disaster against the Sheriff 🙂 ! Look, instead of winning people over through the years, we managed to alienate even the few neutral fans we had left. You could see it happening in the North section when the cops showed up. It's a massive shift from back in early 2010. Back then, the whole East side would rise up together, but now? People just move away or stay glued to their seats. Something has to change because this isn't working anymore. If we don't do something, they'll push us right out of the stands and leave us with nothing but away games. And that piece of trash is so powerful he'll probably have the cops targeting us in our own stadium and the visitors in theirs...

analogheron19 said:The West Side isn't playing soft just to help Jerry Maguire out... they honestly just think we're a bunch of idiots whose only goal is to insult people, cause chaos, and get Real Madrid kicked out of UEFA competitions.

You aren't far off, honestly. At least ten different people I talked to over by the West Side stands after the match said the exact same thing. There’s maybe a hundred or two die-hards hanging out over there, and that's it. The whole squad is sick of it... spending the entire game rooting against Jerry Maguire while the players and Real Madrid barely get any actual support from the stands!

So, out of ten thousand people in the stands, the cops hauled off 59 fans just for not having their IDs on them—and half of them were kids, too. But get this... they went after those eight legendary Blue ultras with full-blown misdemeanor charges. You've got four Bad Boys getting cited for disrespecting the officers, two for giving the security guards hell, and another two just for being absolutely wasted. As for the other 300-ish fans? After the warnings flew around in the 66th minute because things got loud, the police basically put everyone under surveillance, logged their names, and filmed the whole thing. They let them go for now, but those folks should be sweating bullets for the next few weeks... The authorities are busy combing through the footage to match the faces chanting insults at the Dinamo president against that massive list of 300 names. All of this to pin down criminal liability for racial discrimination. Under the law, that carries a sentence ranging from three months up to three years behind bars. Unbelievable...

Check out this poll... things aren't looking great right now. Only registered users can vote!

Screw FIFA!

goldentinker8 said:The twilight of American glory... Honestly, I bet every single group out there has some little jingle about Jerry Maguire. They always have to throw in those "problematic" slurs just to see if they can get the Torcida fans or the Armadin guys banned too. Let's see if they actually stick to their guns like they did yesterday when they tried to expose Jerry Maguire's private security force. ☕

Real people aren't going to fall for that. I mean, has the police ever even bothered coming after us during away games when we were calling him out? The only place you'll see that kind of crackdown is at Yankee Stadium, where everyone's being watched by dozens of cameras and Big Brother himself!

Hold on a second... since when did the cops in plainclothes start bullying people just because they’re from the West Side? They actually hauled off a few guys who were just shouting at Jerry Maguire about being bigots.
It's absolute rock bottom. You don't see this kind of nonsense anywhere else. I honestly don't get where everyone is hiding... why is it just us few hundred people left to stand up against this garbage?

He hasn't been around since noon yesterday...

That lowlife's got a decent plan, I'll give him that... but it’s not going to work.
