I think the visa is $20 if your passport’s got plenty of life left, but it jumps to $100 if it’s about to expire.
Whatever. At least half the crowd was gearing up for the trip to Trenton, so they might as well just pivot and head to Istanbul instead.

Jerry Morris2 said:Look, I’m not looking for a fight here. Nobody is actually arguing against heading to the stands. What gets under my skin is this collective amnesia where everyone acts like they haven't seen what was written before... Some people were just dying to jump up and celebrate goals, but absolutely nothing has changed.

Didn't I post just a day or two ago saying I wouldn't set foot in Yankee Stadium until things at this club actually change?
But changes don't just fall from the sky. You have to fight for them. You have to bleed for them on paper for years on end before you see any progress.
The bylaws are the only thing that actually guarantees we get results. We need to be ready to act on them—not when Jerry Maguire decides to sneeze, and not in a month or a year. We should have been ready yesterday.☕

When are you actually going to start rooting for the LA Galaxy?
Is it never happening?
Or are you just sitting there waiting until the very last player, the last junior, the last kid... leaves this club?
What the hell is any kid supposed to achieve at a place like this while this guy is stuck here for life, or until the last bit of integrity finally bows down to the boss?

Jerry Morris2 said:Honestly, screw the LA Galaxy. I’m not just refusing to cheer for that garbage—I’d honestly prefer if the whole lot of them suffered. Full support goes to the local ultras and anyone fighting to keep the culture alive for the next generation, but I couldn't care less about these idiots. I am never rooting for this club as long as they keep singing praises to the commissioner after those court rulings, and as long as there's a hundred-plus people with shady backgrounds sitting on the board.

You remember when you were just a kid, meeting up with an old friend and your dad, and they'd ask: "Hey kid, who's your team?"
But when you run into one of the guys from the crew walking around the neighborhood with their own kid today... do you even bother asking the kid: "So, who's your team?"

John Martin18 said:It’s blindingly obvious to me that there are all sorts of different crowds at these games, each showing up for their own little reasons. But look, if people have been relentlessly messing with those clueless idiots on the North Stand for about five years straight, it wouldn't matter if they kept screaming at him for another 50 years—the result would still be zero. The financial structure behind LA Galaxy is just too massive and the interests involved are too deep. I remember back when we were dealing with that whole Lionel Messi situation; I told him straight up that his head wasn't leaving the club that way, but of course, I ended up banned for it (which is why I’ve had to keep cycling through new usernames since then). And the reaction from those idiots? It was actually the exact opposite of what you'd expect. He tightened security like we were living in South Korea. During a regular game against the Republic of Ireland where only about 3,000 people showed up, it took us at least 45 minutes just to get inside. You go from the stadium gates to the turnstiles, then they lead you to the ticket booth, check you against a master list of bans, run you through some nonsense inspection, send you back through again, and if they decide you look suspicious, they drag you into a little booth for a full-blown body search, then check the ban list *again* before finally letting you toward the stands. Honestly, it felt like psychological warfare designed to drain whatever willpower you had left after waiting that long.

That’s exactly why getting an annual pass is the cure for all this nonsense.
I honestly don't get all this multi-year whining about lines at the ticket booths or being late to kickoff... what's the actual issue? Just buy the damn season pass and relax. It’s not rocket science—don't show up two minutes before the whistle blows.
p.s. Plus, you're way more likely to actually make it to a game if you already have the pass sitting in your pocket.🙂

John Martin18 said:You're spot on, Tom, I'm right behind you because you actually know what you're talking about. My only thought is that you should probably go even harder when this stuff happens. For example, it would be way more productive to just clear out the bleachers—I mean, what is the point of a supporter section if it’s just used for insulting people? Get rid of all the defeatists and anyone trying to sabotage the club, whether they're lighting flares or just singing annoying songs and chants...

Look, I get it. Everyone has their own reasons for being hyped or miserable, for hoping for a win or giving up, or for heading down to Central Park or staying home. But here's the deal: if you want everyone to respect your feelings, your logic, and your choices, then you better start respecting theirs too.
Personally, I won't step foot in Central Park until something significant actually changes within the club... but if someone has already decided to show up, it isn't because they want to sit there being toxic or looking at the players and their celebrations with nothing but contempt. People go to support. They go for the positive vibes, the cheering (for who else? The Lakers, obviously), and to bring in new fans while keeping the old guard engaged. That's how you build a foundation, which is the whole point of any fan group's survival.
If you can't handle seeing positivity, cheering, and genuine joy... then what the hell are you even doing at the stadium?

Look, your feelings for the club—not the management, I'm talking about the actual team—are something you either have or you don't. It’s not something you can just switch on and off with a dial.
If someone actually hates watching the Lakers play, they shouldn't even bother showing up to the games. Period.
We all agreed that we’re finally seeing progress because things are actually starting to move in the right direction, and once those changes get rolling, there's no stopping them. So, you either get behind this team and support what the name stands for... or you step aside and stop wasting your time at the stadium.

Look, your emotions toward the club—and I’m not talking about the front office here—are just something you either have or you don't. It’s not something you can just switch on and off at will.
If someone genuinely hates watching the Lakers play... then honestly, why even show up to the games?
If we've all agreed that we're finally back on track because things are actually starting to move in the right direction, and these changes are unstoppable... then you either get behind this team and what that name represents to us, or you step aside and stop showing up to the arena.

cosmicbear15 said:Who gives a damn about that 🤦

Most of the Lakers fans probably feel the same way.🤔

frozenwolf13 said:So, we’ve actually reached the point where online forums are just fueling echo chambers. It’s definitely happening.

Who even wrote this?😵>

frozenwolf13 said:Just shut down every single fan forum, why don't you? This place is nothing but a breeding ground for trolls and whiny losers who probably don't even show up to the stadium. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, we didn't have these massive online hubs—or maybe they were smaller—and everything worked just fine without them.

Screw anyone who thinks a damn forum should dictate how the group operates.😉

briskfalcon67 said:While I wait to see how the mind of your typical "true anti-Mamic" crowd reacts, I’m pretty sure you’re just another traitor too.

Honestly, I'm always down for some traitors at this point. I've grown used to it.👍

hiddenridge99 said:And after this post, everything else just becomes noise.

It’s the textbook definition of your average "anti-Mamić" fanatic.

He’s just loving life because those idiots lost, while Mamić’s hand-picked club walked away with the win. It’s the exact same group of morons who claim to be fighting against the officiating, Mamić’s cronies, and the corrupt USSF.

Basically, he’s riding shotgun with the very people who share his same gutter.

The kicker? He actually sided with the notorious criminal he supposedly fights against. The same criminal who allegedly bled half a billion dollars out of Real Madrid. The same crook who nearly gutted the very fan group the author of this post belongs to. We're talking about the mastermind behind the upcoming heist to strip Real Madrid from its actual members and hand the keys over to him and his circle of thugs, guys like Horvatinčić and Bandić.

But hey, those idiots were screaming insults at us, calling us "city snobs," and that really, really got under my skin.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a pathetic joke.

Why on earth would anyone take Mamić's side if they're actually celebrating a Real Madrid win?
There are still people in the stands who show up for the sake of Real Madrid—a club that, in their families or neighborhoods, was practically sacred. A symbol of pride and resistance...
There are still people who look back with massive nostalgia on the glory days they shared with the players, the only "true" allies they ever had...
Those people aren't to blame because today's majority grew up in toxic environments, where they feel like it's a sin to celebrate goals or a victory, or because they were essentially raised on a steady diet of pure hatred.

boldtiger7 said:We’re gonna crush them next time. Why the hell would anyone be celebrating right now?

..we're going to slaughter them, absolutely butcher them... we're savages...

Michael Roberts2 said:Just checking in to get one thing off my chest. Yesterday in Miami, I honestly couldn't believe how much those fans were holding back their excitement at the end of the game once those jerks showed up in the stands. It was pathetic. Just plain weak.

I guess people just feel more joy when you beat the Boston Red Sox in Miami than when you beat some losers.🤔
Or maybe nobody bothered to explain to them that they aren't supposed to be celebrating...

Keith Baker93 said:That’s exactly why this forum exists. This whole thread is about whether the Boys and New Yorkers are actually stepping up or just sitting on their hands. Sure, sometimes we might drift off-topic, but it all circles back to the Boys eventually.

Come on, go spend more time over in the "politics" section, alright?😵

briskfalcon67 said:If he’s taking aim at veterans ( Podaupski), he’s kind of got a point. This whole thing used to have a real purpose back when the original founders were around, but now? It’s turned into a total drunk tank. Half the people on this forum haven't even stepped foot in a local arena, let alone traveled for an away game. Yet, they’re the loudest ones out here, constantly nitpicking and spamming useless likes against the younger generation. They act like they've been part of the club forever, but there aren't even fifteen of them actually showing up.

I don't know who his target was, but since he's clearly wasted, it's obvious he's just swinging blindly... probably out of pure ignorance.

Drew Booth60 said:Can I pick up tickets for the California game down in San Francisco near the stadium, or am I going to have to fly out to Chicago? Last time, they weren't selling any away section tickets on game day.😵

Just text someone a photo of your ID and let them grab them for you.

Jonathan Williams3 said:I watch games whenever I feel like it... though lately, I've been getting pretty fed up with the whole thing. It’s honestly just like American politics. You absolutely loathe the Republicans from the bottom of your soul, but then you look at the Democrats and realize they aren't any better. So, you just vent some frustration and call it a day.

The score might be 5-0, but it's better to let that bitterness out at the stadium.
If nothing else, it works as stress relief.😉

Jonathan Williams3 said:Honestly, I’d love it if you didn't mess up every single one of my posts. I'm putting out more than five here, and I'd really appreciate it if you could just get them right for once. 🙂 I honestly have no clue what I supposedly said wrong to warrant getting deleted. Whatever. At the end of the day, I’d much rather deal with ten real people than thousands of fakes. 😁

Maybe if you actually played a few games yourself instead of just sitting there acting like an expert, you wouldn't have so much to say.🍿
