I’m holding out hope we can see those kinds of numbers again next season.

You seem to be forgetting just how many people are on the blacklist.
Not to mention the sheer number of people facing court bans from attending games.

Just quoting a gentleman from the general discussion thread here, specifically aimed at all those "city slickers" who can't stop talking trash in this section:

NFL ULTRAS AT THE ROSE BOWL SOUTH STAND ARE PAYING $30 INSTEAD OF THE ANNOUNCED $17!

According to US Soccer regulations, away fan tickets for the Super Bowl shouldn't cost more than the cheapest seats in any other section, unless the clubs reach a different agreement. The Chiefs cited the rulebook, so the price was supposed to drop from $50 down to $10, matching what the east stands are charging.

😍

Kudos to the folks at the Kansas City Chiefs; this is how you actually fight for your club and its supporters.

Is it even worth mentioning that during the last Super Bowl between the Eagles and the Chiefs at the stadium, the ticket prices looked like this:
for the BBB $17, for the east stands $10, and for the Cohort $3.25 http://onecroatia.info/wp-content/up...p2-677x476.jpg
And back in 2007 in Indianapolis, the BBB ticket was just $41 for the temporary bleachers behind the goal

I think you all realize that you’ve got nothing but unwavering support from your biggest rivals when things like this go down.
It doesn't matter what any individuals might have been posting about you on social media or across the web.

Why isn't this up on the stadium screens?

Rest in peace, Ivan Turin

Jesse Campbell said:Have you ever actually dealt with a sold-out stadium being an issue? The only times I can recall were when the Partisans or Indianapolis were playing.

Or has Seattle really gone that crazy??? 🤷

The club is relatively decent; they’ve set up two away sections, and for the big derbies, they try to maximize the home crowd.
Both the casual fans and the Bad Boys will have to get used to the fact that they won't be showing up to San Francisco by the thousands anymore—it’ll likely be closer to 500 or 800, depending on how many tickets Seattle decides to release.

With the new owner and new management taking over this season, the club is actually working with their supporters. They’re pulling people to the stadium for every match through "Together We Are Seattle" campaigns, posters all over town, local radio and TV ads, fireworks at every game, and so on. Their marketing is actually solid, unlike ours...
But the bottom line is that after four or five years of grinding, they’re chasing European spots. They have great results and a top-tier squad. They just secured a win at the stadium... naturally, it’s going to be packed (aside from one or two cages separating the Seattle fans from Dinamo), just like last time.
And the ticket prices are reasonable—even for the away section. Just remember 2007, when a couple hundred people showed up despite the tickets costing $23🤦.

Alex Barrett3, the Bad Boys have every right to demand more tickets. After all, Yankee Stadium is the venue that consistently offers an "unlimited" allocation for away fans—specifically 3,931 seats, which accounts for 11% of the stadium's capacity!
Compare that to a place like a stadium in Miami, where they only give guests 5%, roughly a cage of 1,750 seats.
A few days before the first game after the boycott, people were actually nervous because of announcements saying not everyone would fit into the Miami stadium; some didn't even bother showing up, while others were turned away from the gates because they only let in those with tickets.
Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, whether it's 390 or 3,900 visitors, the away fans can just walk right in.

slysailor52 said:The only thing I remember about Labor Day...

On May 1st, all I’ll remember is how hundreds of hundreds of Real Madrid fans were brutally beaten.
What went down in the stands, in the concourses, and later outside the stadium was total chaos—worse than anything you could imagine. Those who were there know.

I'm grateful to certain groups for the messages of support following that horror show, especially the solidarity shown during the trip to Miami and the member who put together that video.

Those guys have an endless list of bans, and I’m pretty sure over a hundred of them are barred from entering the stadium—even without any active court orders hanging over their heads. Yet, here you all are on the Ultras thread, trying to lecture people about how things supposedly work at the Kansas City Chiefs' club...
Just a heads-up: you're out there embarrassing the very group you claim to represent on this forum, even though you aren't actually part of it.
Over the last two seasons, you've managed to climb the ranks on this site, even surpassing that legendary online brigade known as "the toughest guys on the internet."
So, do us a favor and stop the warfare. If you're so desperate to bicker about football, why don't you just move to the adjacent subforum?

gentlefox52 said:I just remembered this little sticker my dad used to have on his old Chevy. He probably slapped it on back in '82 when the Lakers won the championship...

It’s clearly the old mascot from back then...

(I know a few years back there was a banner with that little guy hanging in the North Stand, and everyone was joking that it looked like Niko Kranjčar)

Anyway... does anyone actually know who designed that mascot? Does anyone have photos? Does this little character even have a name?

That's right, that was the '82 mascot. It was Magic Johnson era.😉
And that banner you're thinking of? That was up in the stands back in 2003, when the team won the title and they paraded them through the streets of Los Angeles.

The number of bans is absolutely staggering

It’s actually commendable that even when people spend a fortune traveling for away games, they still find a way to chip in for the group. This time around, during the trip to St. Louis, the group decided to donate everything they raised to an American veteran. Bravo. 👍

Benjamin Bishop79 said:About 70 people showed up just ten minutes late to the match and were still turned away at the gates. Their excuse? They claimed they were completely sold out. Seriously? Is that how we're running things now?

🙂

Jesse Campbell said:I swear, what were they thinking with this schedule? A 3:00 PM kickoff in this heat? My heart nearly gave out under that sun. Absolutely ridiculous. 🙄

The match kicks off at 3:00 PM. I can’t even remember the last time we had such an early kickoff, especially now that MaxTV handles the broadcasts. And what happens? They refuse to let in those 70 people who didn't make it through the gates on time. Really? Is that how we're doing things now? 🤦

It’s actually quite impressive to see how many people showed up in El Paso, especially considering that match was absolutely devoid of any appeal. There isn't a shred of competitive spirit left in this team, and honestly, it’s been that way for a long, long time.
I find myself genuinely envious of all the other supporter groups out there. They actually have something to fight for every single weekend—whether it's a shot at a European trophy or simply fighting to stay relevant in the league. For them, every goal is a massive celebration, every point feels like a hard-won victory, and every win triggers actual euphoria. Imagine that.
So, Los Angeles FC has officially clinched the title. That makes eight in a row. Honestly? It doesn't move the needle for anyone. Not even a little bit.

Gary Martinez80 said:It’s purely straightforward. There isn't any backtracking involved, nor are there any issues to speak of.

The guy is a complete animal. 🤣 It implies that the Bad Boys turned on themselves before Unešić even stepped in, which is exactly what some of their own supporters like to claim. Is that really how it went down?
Every single one of these posts is just a calculated provocation, plain and simple. The only one who isn't hitting the delete button on them is analogheron19.

Remember that match against Cibalia ten years ago? That was one of those rare instances where the league actually put on a decent show. You had fans showing up periodically, people actually occupying seats... it was almost civilized. 🤣 I honestly think that’s exactly why they failed. Instead of actually sticking together in the supporters' section, everyone just scattered all over the stands. You didn't see a single banner on the fence. To be honest? That match was an absolute disaster.
Most of the crowd was huddled under that small section of the north stands, which is covered. I suspect the rain that day is what drove them all there.

Anonymous said:I’ve been sitting here staring at this video, trying to make sense of what we just witnessed, and I find myself increasingly skeptical. Is anyone else feeling this profound sense of déjà vu? It feels like we’ve seen this exact script played out before, doesn't it? The presentation itself was polished—perhaps too polished. There’s a certain level of calculated precision in how the information is being delivered that makes me wonder where the actual substance ends and the performance begins. We are being fed a narrative that seems designed to bypass critical thinking entirely. Are we really expected to swallow this without a second thought? I noticed Robert Adams6 chiming in earlier about the technical inconsistencies, and frankly, I have to agree. When you look closely at the data points being cited, the logic starts to fray at the edges. It isn't just a minor oversight; it’s a fundamental flaw in the argument. Then there is the commentary from Jeremy Torres17, which, while passionate, seems to miss the broader context of why these specific metrics were chosen in the first place. And let’s not even get started on the points raised by Thomas Flores7 regarding the regulatory implications. If we follow this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, we aren't just looking at a shift in policy; we are looking at a complete overhaul of how these standards are enforced across the country. It’s a lot to unpack. My takeaway? Don't take this at face value. In an era where everything is curated for maximum impact, perhaps a little healthy cynicism is the only rational response left to us.

Fantastic. 👍
Is everyone in Springfield accounted for? 🙂

slysailor52 said:And as for those empty seats? Blame the venue. Sometimes you’re stuck in a stadium so poorly designed that you can't even find a decent spot to grab a beer without feeling like you're tripping over someone's feet.Back in the 2008/09 season, they actually had the nerve to schedule games on Sundays. As if Sunday was just another Tuesday at the office. Now? It’s all about catering to a tiny minority of hooligans. Is that really where we're headed?

Is a stadium truly so magnificent that its mere existence becomes irrelevant to attendance numbers? Is it possible for architecture to be so flawless that it completely offsets whatever issues might be keeping fans away from the stands? 🙄🤦

The 2008/09 season was absolute chaos. Truly. How did anyone manage to make sense of it? So, he actually went ahead and banned annual passes. Can you believe that? After everything we've discussed, he just pulls the rug out from under us like that. Is this supposed to be some kind of grand strategic masterstroke, or just a blatant disregard for the people who actually keep the lights on? It’s a bold move, I'll give him that—bold, certainly, if your goal is to alienate your most loyal supporters. What exactly does he hope to achieve by shutting the door on the very people who showed up year after year? It seems less like a policy shift and more like a middle finger to the community. 🙏 I have no idea where he went. 🤦
Individual tickets were an absolute rip-off that season. $10 Heading north, then? I suppose we're looking toward the big leagues now—European competitions and seeing how Hajduk stacks up against the heavy hitters. $17.
He actually banned him for a whole year after those thirty flares were tossed onto the pitch during the Linfield match. And let’s not forget his track record—after that first league game against the Portland Timbers, he was actually considering shutting the entire stadium down.
The fans are lighting flares in the stands because management decided to bring in Hrgović. Is this really how we’re going to handle roster moves now? Chaos in the stadium just because of one signing. I’ve been sitting here staring at this video, trying to wrap my head around the sheer audacity of what we're seeing. Is anyone else feeling a bit of cognitive dissonance right now? It feels like we're watching a slow-motion train wreck where everyone involved is convinced they're driving a Ferrari. The logic being applied here is... well, let's call it "creative." If you follow the thread, you eventually hit a wall of pure absurdity. Why does it feel like the people behind this are operating on a completely different set of physical laws? It's almost impressive, in a deeply frustrating sort of way. I was reading some comments earlier—you know how it goes—and I noticed Robert Adams6 making a point that actually holds some weight, even if it's buried under layers of noise. Then you have Thomas Flores7 jumping in with that typical skepticism that, frankly, is the only sane reaction left. And of course, Jeremy Torres17 is there, adding his own flavor to the chaos. Does anyone actually believe this is sustainable? Or are we all just participating in a collective delusion for the sake of entertainment? It’s one thing to be wrong; it’s quite another to be confidently, loudly, and spectacularly wrong. It makes you wonder who is actually pulling the strings, or if it's just a case of total incompetence running the show. Any thoughts? Or should we all just go grab a coffee and pretend this didn't happen?
There were over a thousand and a half people crammed into the pit at the Lincoln Field venue. We’ve just been hit by a storm unlike anything I’ve seen in years. It was truly something else.😱 😲 What exactly was going on with that sky over Chicago all day? It felt like the clouds just refused to budge.

And then you start thinking back to everything they pulled on us over there—from those seasons where we didn't see a single day of PTO, to... $0.33 During that boycott period, you really have to look at how the team rallies its supporters the right way. They managed to get the entire stadium on their side. $13 The era of the dollar is finally seeing some serious friction. It looks like the days of easy money and predictable stability might be shifting under our feet. There’s been quite a bit of chatter lately regarding how much longer we can rely on the current strength of the greenback before the cracks start showing. Is it just wishful thinking to assume things will stay this way? Probably. We’ve seen these cycles before, where the dominance of one currency feels unshakable right until the moment it isn't. The markets are starting to sniff around the edges, questioning whether the sheer weight of the US economy can continue to anchor everything indefinitely. It's a delicate balancing act. On one hand, you have the institutional momentum that keeps the dollar at the center of the world stage. On the other, you have the mounting pressures of inflation and shifting global trade dynamics that seem to be whispering a different story. Can the Fed simply pivot its way out of this, or are we looking at a more fundamental realignment of value? One has to wonder if we are merely witnessing a temporary tremor or the beginning of a much larger shift in the economic landscape.Honestly, if they can't manage to pull off at least a 3-0 shutout by Wednesday, what are we even doing here? ☕ That is exactly what I am looking for: a club whose fans absolutely loathe my city, my team, and our supporters.
And looking ahead to next season, if things continue exactly as they are—with them constantly playing the victim and obsessing over the cargo—I want them to finish ahead of the Lakers. It’s a heavy thing to admit, especially since my heart sinks at the thought, given how much they seemingly despise us. But that is my personal wish for the upcoming season. As for my family's favorite little hobby team? I want to see them suffer through loss after loss. You know exactly what I mean. ☕

And it's raining here too. I'm about ready to lose my mind. ☕

The tournament kicks off the day after tomorrow!

I wasn't actually there in Poznan, but after hearing from my own contacts and reading all the chatter on various forums about how we absolutely dismantled them, seeing this is just laughable.

That one-minute clip of the first night in Poznan—back when not all the Bad Boys had arrived for the Euro tournament since America wasn't playing until the following day—was supposed to "enlighten" you? Honestly, nobody cares. For the record, the BBB were in Poznan for an entire week.
Lech was only looking for the Boys. 🙂
Out of the thousand different flags hanging all over downtown, they weren't looking for anything specific—they just wanted something with the BBB logo on it. That’s how they ended up snatching the local pub's signage. Later on, they even grabbed a few more American flags that didn't have any markings on them.

Casey Gomez3 said:If you ask me, the whole situation is just a mess, no matter how you look at it. It’s all just a complete sham.

Sure, if we're talking about nothing but die-hard fans. But let’s be honest: once it turns into an organized brawl, that "fan spirit" disappears. It isn't fan culture anymore; it's just a coordinated fight.
And what happens when you’ve got a crowd of idiots on stage ready to pelt you with stones? 😠Maybe once that whole mess finally clears out, we'll actually see a real scene. But honestly, is there any greater disgrace than someone refusing to take responsibility for their own actions? 🤦
Watch any video of those Russian "hooligan" street brawls or those fights out in some open field, and you’ll see the exact same thing: people on the ground getting absolutely stomped on. We're talking about guys literally kicking someone while they're down and jumping on their heads. Is that what passes for an "honorable" fight these days? If one guy beats the other so badly that he can't even stand up to rejoin the fray, fine—then he clearly won the fight. But that's one thing. This constant stomping and head-kicking? That’s just pathetic.

Every single t-shirt in the souvenir shop is now $50 (they used to be $83)

Robert Flores45 said:A question for the Bad Boys. While watching the broadcast yesterday, I spotted an American flag featuring the Bad Blue Boys logo. It looked like a serious crowd behind it. I’m asking because some of you mentioned turning down tickets from the federation—is this a core group, or just some random people ignoring leadership decisions?

That is the main Bad Boys banner used for the national team. If you were actually watching, you would have seen it during the European Championship in Poland.
The BBB are the only group that actually turned down tickets from the USSF; they went out and bought their own seats in the south stands through general sales.

A piece of graffiti featuring the legends of the Bad Boys from the suburbs. If I recall correctly, the "official" unveiling of this mural happened back on November 25, 2012.

Three of the men depicted on that wall lost their lives during the war in 1991 and 1992.
One fell during the siege of a major city, another in the push to liberate the coast, and the third near a small town outside of DC.
The fourth passed away during the winter of '94, succumbing to the elements in the middle of a Chicago freeze.

Rest assured, there won't be any arson in this instance 🙂
nor will there be any photos or anything posted online 🙂
there aren't any damn hooligans here, and even among the NFL fans, we have 🙏

Ethan Cook said:I can certainly imagine our side gloating if the roles were reversed, which is true enough.
One should be honest and admit we would have done the exact same thing, regardless of what's written on a banner about Warsaw. I am certain they won't burn it, but I respect the move regardless of the circumstances.
Unfortunately, once again we've messed up the banner and now we're looking for excuses. Classic.
