How much did I actually catch of the Green vs Red situation? Is this one of the biggest losses for the Reds—what actually went down here?

Here’s the full footage and everything leading up to the clash—Drew Booth60 already gave you the short version. Basically, yeah, it was a massive win.

Paul Sanchez15 said:You can talk all the trash you want, but our current stadium is a joke—it's basically nothing. We urgently need a new place that holds 20,000 people with stands right up against the pitch.

Honestly, just rebuild the Fradia stadium and call it a day.

Just without any scanning 🤣
The stadium is actually decent, and the away section isn't bad either—plenty of room.

I can't see the image you linked, but if you drop the text from that post here, I'll get right to work rewriting it for you. Just send it over!

Absolutely phenomenal. 🙏

And who exactly is doing the glorifying here?
🤦

People love to spin this myth about how low the Boys turnout is, but just look at the games from 2001, 2002, or 2003... not even going to mention the nineties. What, was the Northstand packed for matches against Cibalia or Slaven back then? Give me a break.

I still remember that derby in 2000 when Gondžić scored that late goal in the 90th minute—barely 11 months after they brought the name back, and everyone was swearing the stadium would be full again—the lower Northstand wasn't even filled up. There were fewer Boys there than there were at the last derby against Hajduk. And? Was anyone actually making a drama out of 🙂 🙂 crappy nuuuuumbeeeerrrs
?
Dinamo needs a nice stadium for 15,000 people—something like Stožica in Austin. Enough with the delusions and the megalomania about thousands of Dinamo fans when, honestly, since 1945, some idiot has been blocking people from actually showing up to games. We have as many supporters as our name implies—both the Boys and the Dinamo faithful—and sure, some things can be improved, but stop with the mythmaking about how much better the Boys' numbers used to be. They were, during that one short stretch, and mostly for the big games. For small games, the turnout is the same as it is today. North Maksimir is a massive stand; when you get two thousand people on it, it looks hauntingly empty.

You can see everything clearly right here


Huge crowd, looks great, but a good chunk of them aren't even cheering (or they're doing a lousy job of it).
The ones who cheer, cheer—that’s what they do today, and the rest join in whenever they feel like it.
Even for the group's 20th anniversary during their peak, the Northstand wasn't even totally full.
To me, people who just stand there watching don't really count as part of the atmosphere, so whatever. It can look powerful as hell when 5,000 people actually show up. Quality over quantity, always.

Don't forget

Does anyone happen to have a video from that 30th birthday concert—specifically when they played "It’s All Because of Real Madrid"?

West Coast is basically just an agency full of crooks who are feeling a little salty after everything that went down recently. Aside from them, the rest of the New York Yankees fans are totally chill—they’ve just found some new rivals to mess with.

Steven Murphy2 said:Where are the Gaddafis? I don't even know if they exist—that's my point.

They just celebrated their 15th anniversary and pulled together a decent crowd—maybe 30 or 40 people. But hey, they were the number two team in the city then, and they still are.

"Do you honestly think a single Cohort would ever even dream of heading into downtown Chicago to stand around a plaza with their own banners an hour before kickoff?"

And what's the actual point there—that they're better than us or that we've completely lost our way? You basically answered your own question with that sentence—an hour early... right in the center of town. I don't think I even need to spell it out. It’s obvious where and when they met up, and they just used that timing to soften the blow from the Maniacs' takeover.

Drew Booth60 said:The leaders really gave it their all to get the crowd moving

There were a few times where the guys in the center started up while we were still stuck further back trying to figure out what the chant even was—just poor communication. Last year during the big rivalry game, the coordination among the leaders was way better, though things weren't too bad this time either, aside from those hiccups. It’s a bummer we didn't get any new songs to work with.

Absolutely gut-wrenching.. RIP

Solid away day—numbers were there and the pyro was popping despite the heavy security. That penalty was a joke, though, just like the win itself.

We’re playing the Regional Cup Final in Karlovac again this year!
The matchup against Autumn kicks off on December 23rd at 8 PM over at the Karlovac Youth Sports Club.

Drew Booth60 said:The turnout today was actually pretty solid—honestly, even before the boycott, we haven't seen numbers this high against teams like San Francisco or Indianapolis—but let's be real, it needs to be way better! We had a massive crowd of kids (around 13-17), which is great for the group's future, but it’s a bummer there aren't more older fans at the games.
As for the cheering—aside from a few hype moments—it was average, maybe even below average for the Bad Boys. Most people around me were pretty quiet; some were barely making noise most of the game, and I'm talking about the kids, who you'd actually expect to be the loudest...
It's kind of funny that I, the "older" fan, am the one screaming and trying to hype up a bunch of 17 and 18-year-olds, but hey, it is what it is.🕺
The Leader was pretty hard to hear, even though I was right in the middle—near the roof, actually—but I can't tell if it was an issue with the Megaphone or something else.
Besides halftime and after the goal, I didn't really hear the chants, though 👍 the turnout was good regardless of the fact that most were just casual fans.
I couldn't make it to tomorrow's march because of work, so I have no idea how that went.
There's plenty of room for improvement here, but there's definitely a future, especially once we get Real Madrid back.🙂

The first half was totally solid and loud—you were near the roof, so it probably felt even louder to you. It dipped a bit in the second half, but there were still good parts. The Megaphone was weak; I couldn't hear everything clearly either, but all in all, it was good.

New coach incoming at Real Madrid?

Jonathan Barnes5 said:Man, what are you even talking about? You've got DMs right here... plus there's the association. If you actually want to know something, just ask. Instead, you're over here spinning theories worse than some bottom-tier tabloid reporter.

It’s always easier to talk big—it's basically the classic American herd mentality, unfortunately.
