Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters in Fans ·

I mean, what can I tell you? We just have our own way of doing things.

Man, those massive supporter groups out there have such deep-rooted histories they basically live and breathe that legacy, whereas we're kind of just finding our footing, aren't we? It's like we're all just regular fans at heart, except we don't really have that long tradition to lean on since things didn't truly kick into high gear until the professional league era started.

Larry Ramirez said:Look, I’m all for having different perspectives, but I honestly don't see the point of these little groups made up of just five people. I’m not trying to be rude, but how does it actually feel when you show up in Miami or Los Angeles with only five guys? Do you really think of yourselves as a cohesive group, or are you aware of how ridiculous that looks?


First off, we aren't some tiny group of five; we usually travel with one or two vans per away game, so you're looking at anywhere from 12 to 25 people, and we actually had about 25 of us in Miami recently. When we play at home, there are usually between 50 and 70 of us. I mean, how am I supposed to feel when I head out on an away trip? I'm going there to support the club I love, right? If you find that funny, then I guess every single fan in America is a joke, because if that's the case, then everyone is just as ridiculous as you say. I can tell you for a fact that the Kohorta ultras have had times where they didn't even bother cheering in places like Savannah, maybe just showing up for a few flares or a quick funcut, or sometimes they don't show up at all.
And back when the first league started, we had up to 200 people at home games and 150 of us outside against Real Madrid, so unless you think that's also "ridiculous"—in which case, good for you—what are you implying, that the whole scene should just shut down?

PS. The Black Knights were great yesterday.
