I just came across this video of the US national team.

Just a quick question out of nowhere. Has anyone actually looked at the recent HHO reports, specifically regarding the trip to Vienna and the match against the Locomotive? I know that this unprofessional association, which clings to its own fanaticism, has been stigmatizing our group for a long time, but what I’m reading now feels like open hatred. It looks like they are actively trying to persecute a specific faction—the very people who serve as the moral compass here. At first, they seemed like nothing more than a joke, but now they’ve suddenly escalated their fight against the fans. I suspect he might have finally gone too far, and he isn't holding back when it comes to undermining the group's work. Honestly, it wouldn't even surprise me if those two were the ones writing this trivial nonsense. There are even a few phrases being used that nobody else ever says 🤣

I suppose the question is whether we should trust these people with such massive egos, though I noticed they included quotes from the broadcast.

It feels like total overreach. I guess kids were getting banned today just for having messy hair...

What’s interesting is that the New York Post was actually the first to break the news at 10:08 PM. After that, our local news outlets basically just copy-pasted their entire article and the video. I noticed the Post has since taken the story down, but I guess the damage is already done...

👍

Someone above mentioned the bolougan boys. I wanted to share a bit of history regarding what happened to them, because we are seeing an identical pattern unfold here. It is a predictable cycle: a once legendary, fierce group of supporters gets diluted down to fewer than 200 hardcore ultras, while the stadium ends up filled with a "silent majority" of casual fans who can't even muster a decent atmosphere during ninety minutes of play. What’s happening at our home stadium feels like a final purge of anyone deemed "unsuitable." We can complain all we want, but every move the front office makes to shut us down just successfully shrinks the numbers season after season. I guess you can't expect kids under 18 to ever show up to the stadium again after they've been harassed and detained late into the night following a match.

Thomas Williams59 said:So, Chuck and Peternel are claiming that the silent majority—the "true LA Galaxy fans"—found a way to flex their muscles 🙂 to counter and shut down that paper tiger known as the anti-fan

"it seems the LA Galaxy supporters decided they needed a way to neutralize those negative messages on the pitch, so they used boos to show their dissatisfaction with that kind of 'support'"

Those "true" LA Galaxy fans were actually struggling just to find the East Stand before the match even started. 🤣

You’ve been fighting with Jerry Jones for years now, but I guess it's hard to tell if anything has actually changed. What happens if Jerry Jones finally walks away from Real Madrid? Would the crowds even show up to the stadium then? A lot of this feels pretty unclear to me. I wonder if there's really any point in chanting those bitter slogans at someone who doesn't even care about you half as much as you care about them.

I guess it bothers you that the players don't offer much praise or personal greetings, choosing instead to just follow the owner's lead and say what they have to. Maybe that’s why it's hard for you to truly connect with a club like this. Am I right?

I guess out of pure frustration, you guys end up singing those insulting songs that don't really have anything to do with loving the club you're actually supporting in the stands.

Based on how things look, the stadiums are empty, tickets are being given away to nobody, and there isn't anyone to lead the cheering because that's just how we are, I guess. I guess it’s just purgative. Maybe. It's all about mindset. I guess what I heard during the game against the Red Sox was pretty pathetic.

And it just keeps happening, year after year. I guess.

I guess this new goalkeeper is on par with Koch; he seems like a true leader on the field. Real Madrid has a solid squad, but I wonder if they can really pull off another season without better support, especially if they end up in the Champions League facing massive crowds while only having a few thousand fans showing up.

It seems like none of you feel any shame for distancing yourselves from that club. I guess it’s fine since we don't really consider them our own anymore. You even seem worried about kids from all over the country filming you on their phones, probably fearing you might end up on YouTube. But did it ever cross your minds to actually engage? Maybe you should have at least handed those kids a flag or something.

I wonder how much you all have actually done to engage the Real Madrid faithful. You complained about the pranks and those shirts Jerry Jones hands out, and even the ticket prices, but what have you actually done to bring them back to the stadium or get them singing along with you?
I guess that one big push, "give it everything you've got," didn't really pay off, did it? Maybe it was all for nothing. 🤷

I guess it's finally time to lay everything out clearly, once and for all.

The club and the media have long since decided what kind of crowd they want at Real Madrid games, and honestly, we aren't that crowd in any version of this story. If you haven't noticed, they play recordings of cheering over the speakers now, so you can pretend to support the team without worrying about some mindless hooligan throwing a chair near a baby's head. It feels pretty ironic, doesn't it? This was exactly the excuse used to push out the Bad Boys in an attempt to attract a younger, more family-oriented demographic. I guess that plan backfired for people like you. Just listen to the away fans in our own stadium, boo them when they light flares, and watch as the local supporters tear up hundreds of seats in the south end. You can try to comfort yourself with the idea that none of this matters because some kid from Africa just joined the club and might lift a trophy for a team he barely knew existed a week ago. Why is the atmosphere Real Madrid plays in blamed on us when we aren't even allowed in the stands? I suppose now that you've finally gotten rid of the "hooligans," the real fans are left to create the atmosphere they couldn't manage when we were actually there.

Paul Young5 said:We aren't ten million people, and we never have been. We’re only as big as the crowd that shows up for an away game—usually just a steady 400 to 700 people. Same faces, same life.
A drunk isn't someone who drinks at a party, or celebrates with a drink, or someone the group drags to the stadium because they have nothing better to do on a Saturday night. A drunk drinks constantly. If anyone tells you there are thousands of you, they're lying. Being a fan isn't a lifestyle for the masses; for most people, it's just a trend, a fun way to hang out in a good atmosphere. As soon as there's any hint of this turning into a real subculture, they buy their return ticket and leave. In reality, it’s always just a few hundred people.

I guess I don't see why you bother responding when it's obvious he's just trying to provoke someone, though I'm not sure who specifically 😁. They've just been fighting amongst themselves lately, and it's clear we aren't interested in their posts. If you point out even a small thing, they just bombard you with pages of insults. I suppose we haven't had anything to prove to anyone for a long time, especially not through internet posts like his. It seems hard to explain our struggle to an outsider when your rivals—who know more about this than anyone else besides us—just enjoy the fact that we can't get to the stadium or watch the youth teams. Maybe you don't owe anyone an explanation, especially not to someone who won't value any answer except the one they've already made up in their head.

That’s true to an extent, but... Just a few months ago, we had the club management, the police, and the general public all lined up against us. We were left on our own for a long time, facing constant pressure and harassment. Maybe this season should at least teach us how much having numbers on your side actually matters. It isn't necessary for them to be part of BBB or hardcore ultras. Sadly, I suspect we'll end up taking the brunt of the law again while they cooperate with the police, but I suppose that's just the path we've chosen.
