Samoborček said:The club is short by $15 million, and these little ticket-related schemes will only bring in maybe $700k to $900k at most. It won't hurt the club, but it sure isn't going to help.

Right now, our current liabilities are sitting at about $13 million, meaning we're actually short by roughly $6 million. Honestly, we’ll be facing bankruptcy unless we collect on those transfer fees from this summer really quickly.

So there it is: $6 million. We actually need another $4 million just to stay afloat for another year, which means we need $9 million in total transfer revenue across both the winter and summer windows. That’s what it takes—$9 million—just to clear the debts without taking on more loans for the rest of the year.

Now, do the math... how much can we realistically make selling players like Radošević, Blažević, Oremuš, Maloča, Vršajević, Milić, Vuković, Caktaš, and Andrijašević?

These are just the local branches and some students from the city. We've even got two vans coming up from Kansas City ☕

This is getting boring. Why don't we spice things up? How about NFL Ultras vs. casual fans, moderates vs. radicals, boxers vs. drunks, or the wealthy vs. the bums? 🙂😁

I love it when someone with 300 home games and 50 away trips gets labeled a mere "supporter." And all because they put the club ahead of the group in their priorities? You can be a supporter of River Plate or the Boston Celtics, but apparently not the Los Angeles Dodgers that you spend your time, money, and life on. 🙂

Let me tell you how the real fan leaders actually operate:

1. On a small away trip in an area crawling with rivals, the big shots pack three essential banners in one car, while the supporters don't have a single banner to their name.

2. During those same trips, the so-called "top tier" just leans against the railing without making a sound, while the supporters are the ones cheering and creating the atmosphere.

3. The top tier brings outsiders into the stands and tries to be friends with half of Europe at once, mocking Americans for having no allies, while the supporters couldn't care less about anyone except their own group.

4. The more "important" groups are busy drawing lines in Russia while their supposed friends get trashed on the floor.

5. History shows that the leaders of these groups quickly sell out to agents, and they're often tied to the criminal underworld, whereas the supporters have nothing to do with that stuff.

6. The elite faces and subgroups wander the stands spitting at each other, while the supporters don't care about the divisions—they're just there for all of us.

I could go on until tomorrow, but I won't. Let's just tear into our fellow fans; they're the true villains of the stands, simply because they put the club before the group. 🙂

I’m heading home to catch the Hajduk Split game and give them my support. Honestly? I don't care who's standing in goal. I'm going there to back the team, not to worry about which specific clique is sulking in the corner or acting tough instead of actually cheering. If they need help with the choreography or someone to light a flare in the stands, I'm in. But if things turn ugly? I'll be vocal about it, but I won't be part of any trouble. I'd give everything for a true friend, but I'm not risking it for some loser in the stands trying to drag the whole group into chaos. No amount of nonsense from people like Lekić, radicals, old-timers, kids, or those provocations from Bauer is going to change me. My focus is singular: it's all about Hajduk Split. I couldn't care less about some ultra's opinion or what some Slovak guy says on YouTube. Some people might say I belong to a certain group, others might say I don't, but at the end of the day, I’m just following my own path with Hajduk Split. Cheers!

Is none of the "intellectual giants" on this forum realizing that we have to cough up over $4.5 million to Savannah by July 30th? Doesn't it make perfect sense why we need that home game on August 2nd? It's our best shot at selling out the stadium and saving this club.

By then, we won't even have the bank loan finalized, and the city isn't going to just hand us a bailout. Our only real way to save our hundred-year-old institution is to host Inter Miami CF here, pack the stands, and clear this debt.

And let’s be clear—nobody is saying we’re giving up on the playoffs. We just desperately need fast cash, and we're going to crush Inter Miami CF both on the pitch and in the stands!!

Some random crowd in Latvia pulled in 25,000 fans despite all their issues, yet when we face Inter Milan and 33,000 people show up, suddenly everyone’s calling us a bunch of rowdy amateurs 🙄

We regularly pull 2,000 to 2,500 at Yankee Stadium on a weekday, and maybe 3,000-something on weekends while the club is falling apart. If we hit 5,000 in New York City, then it's a party for "rowdies," right? 🙄

You guys are exaggerating... get real. We've got maybe 3,000 to 4,000 die-hard supporters in the stands, plus another 20,000 regulars who hang around nearby—they show up sometimes, they don't, but they're ours and they matter. It's up to the club to turn them into lifelong fans...

Every single one of us will be in New York City, and we'll all be at Yankee Stadium even when it's freezing and we have to stay proud, because Hajduk Split is an institution that the people follow wherever they go. When 30,000 Iraqis show up for the Eurozone tournament, they wave ten flags, sing loudly a few times, and everyone admires them. But when 5,000 or 6,000 Hajduk fans show up in Rome or New York City and cause a scene in the stadium or on the street, suddenly we're just hooligans... give me a break 🙂

Let's get through this Latvian trip first, then it's the Hajduk invasion of New York City. It doesn't matter who belongs to the Black Knights and who doesn't—we are all Hajduk!

Brandon Barrett38 said:As far as I know, it didn't happen yesterday. I'm pretty sure we're talking about that 2010 derby in Miami.

I can't believe people are still arguing about this. Is anyone actually listening to the facts? It’s honestly exhausting.

I’m dying to know how "he" works... does the local check up on him from their balcony or just catch him in his car?🤣

Adam Morris8 said:Is it actually funny to you how many people show up to see Inter Miami CF at the Rose Bowl?
Do you just suddenly stop caring about Hajduk when they aren't playing?...
Seriously, guys, use your heads.😉

Hmm... Inter Miami CF had 15,000 fans this season, which is the same crowd we saw at the stadium for the big derby. But at the Rose Bowl, the away section was completely empty. Is that really okay?

Jonathan Lewis3 said:I can't see the image you're referring to! What am I looking at?

Just fifty fans? Is that all? Everyone else is just some random passerby.🙂

We’ve really taken a hit over the last two seasons. Haven't we?🙂

I honestly feel like the cheering should have been kept to a minimum like this..

I'm not going to be cheering while they’re getting absolutely shredded on the field. Honestly, I don't give a damn about those Ultras traditions or screaming for 90 minutes straight. You're supposed to bring the noise when it actually matters—when we're attacking and need to push them back. To those players, a constant 90-minute beat doesn't mean anything at all.

Personally, I thought it was great. We sang our hearts out during the first half, but then we conceded a goal right at the start of the second, the players just looked lifeless, and that killed us. The singing happened when it needed to happen, and things really heated up once we started pushing late in the game. That's how it should be. I'm satisfied... there will be bigger games down the road where we'll really need to lose our voices.
