I’ve got about 200 tickets for Real Madrid and the National Team that I'm looking to trade for some vintage Real Madrid gear from back in the day—think old flags, pennants, and stuff like that...
If you're interested, shoot me a message and I'll send over some photos via Viber...

Hey everyone, if any of you happen to have some old photos lying around that look similar to these, please, just post them here.

Just DM me.
I'm talking about that whole "can't recognize your own face" thing after 25 years.😵

ruggedowl13 said:I'm taking advantage of this nice weather to get some early spring cleaning done. I stumbled upon some old photos from the Hajduk Split cup final back in the early nineties. They were taken by the police, so they feel more like documentary shots rather than typical fan photos. You can see Transparents for the Bad Boys of Dinamo and BBB Kutin... there are even a few guys in uniform in the shots. If anyone was actually at that game and wants a souvenir, let me know—I can post one here.

Post them all if you can! 👏

Hey everyone, we got any ceramic tile pros on here?
A buddy of mine from the stands—single dad with a little kid—is trying to renovate his bathroom and he’s in desperate need of some reliable contractors right now.

We honestly don't deserve anything better than this mess we're in. If you look at all the supporter groups combined, you could count the people actually interested in changing the fan law on one hand.

Honestly, you guys are all being such idiots, following analogheron19 around.

casualwolf48 said:Look, if my post gets deleted, the least you could do is be decent enough to give me an answer. I’m 48 years old and one of the founding members of this group, but I can't keep up with every single thing happening here 24/7. I’ve got enough on my plate as it is. I actually lost my phone in Detroit, so right now I’m stuck manually rebuilding my contact list because nothing was synced to Google. I posted a question, and someone could have easily just sent me a private message. Why all the attitude? You could have answered me directly or at least pointed out why the question was off-base.

What's with the attitude, man?
Some things just aren't meant for public eyes, and certain posts have to be wiped. There’s just no real system here for warnings or actual communication about why things are being removed.
No offense intended,🙂)

I’m going to tell you the same thing I told Blubac: keep fighting until they finally sell you out. And even after the sale, they’ll still be running full tilt because they’re pros. You might think there's more action and intensity in such a small pond, but try putting them on a massive stage and see what happens.😁

Maybe your Real Madrid moved locations, but mine didn't.
I've been through all those little games—shifting north, then east, then south, then back north. It was always just some excuse involving acoustics, TV camera angles, or whatever else they needed to justify the move.

Fine, I agree upbringing doesn't matter, but age definitely does.
Old School style, where people actually played real football.

Just one question: if Real Madrid moved into a dual-home stadium and you had a derby against the Appalachian Mountains😁, but at the exact same time you had a chance for a rematch against Athens... which one are you picking?

What a joke this "small-time" football is.🍿

Are you seriously this bored with your life?

Well, there it is. Pandora's box is wide open.

I know exactly why you're clutching your head right now.☕

they completely lost sight of what actually matters.

coppertiger2 said:Can anyone share their thoughts on how moving back to the North Side will affect the NBA games?

If you ask me, attendance at the NBA games is going to tank. Sure, for the massive matchups—like tomorrow’s game or when Real Madrid or Miami come to town—we’ll see a decent crowd, but overall? It’s going down.

It would honestly kill me if the NBA side of things just gets neglected. This is a club built from the ground up by the Real Madrid faithful, and they’ve made insane progress in just two years. The staff at the club is doing a phenomenal job; I hear they live and breathe this team 24/7.

Look, maybe I’m being too much of a pessimist here. Maybe moving back north actually boosts the numbers, or at least keeps them steady. But I really don't want to see the worst-case scenario play out. This club operates on an ideal of what a major organization like Real Madrid should look like. Plus, the NBA program is the perfect training ground to teach people about the membership model. For instance, this article nails it:

I think we’re eventually going to face elections at Real Madrid, and when that day comes, we need people who actually understand how democracy works. You can't just flip a switch and change how people think, but the NBA program is the perfect way to start building that mindset.

I actually think attendance for the NBA will go up. Getting back into the home stadium reignites that energy and passion in a lot of fans. Last year, the numbers dipped partly because everyone basically walked away from the stadium right after the big game against the Miami rivals.

dustysailor99 said:Just try buying tickets online for those first three sections and see what happens. You can't. It’s impossible. I have no clue why they do it, but my guess is it's all about the cronies.

It's the corporate packages, the season ticket holders, the hand-picked reps, the sponsors, the youth academies, and all those "friends"... you know, those "friends." They basically funnel the tickets to anyone they want just to make sure there's less room left for the Bad Boys in the North Stand.

Austin Watson38 said:Look, man, you, your brother, and your whole crew were there. We’ve crossed paths more times than I can count. I'm speaking from firsthand experience, from hanging out at the local diner and moving through the city. I'm not even trying to criticize you here—I just don't want you sugarcoating things or making them look better than they were. I already said you guys were a decent bunch.

Alright, fine. I'm telling you that you've got your facts mixed up, but whatever. Let's just drop it.🥱

Austin Watson38 said:Oh, thanks a lot for telling me not to get worked up. You’re such a saint. Real classy. Look, first championship after the big game in Washington, D.C., winning the trophy in Spain... that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Calm down and stop romanticizing everything.

Look, man, I’m not sitting here preaching to you about what you personally went through. God forbid I act like I know your life or who you dealt with, or what those people attacking you were using. I’m not talking about some massive group or everyone involved... I’m talking specifically about the Petrinjac crowd. I never let anyone on my team touch that stuff...

Austin Watson38 said:Come on, stop trying to paint such a rosy picture. 👍 If you guys had actually played with some integrity, nobody would have had a single thing to say. But instead, you relied on those cheap tricks as your baseline. If you had just stood your ground and played fair, there wouldn't be any complaints. Simple as that.☕

Cut the crap and give me an actual example. If that was the standard, you wouldn't be struggling this much.☕

irondrifter4 said:Look, I’m not going to sit here and judge whether he’s refusing to admit it, playing dumb, or whatever—I don't care enough about him or this thread to play psychologist. But he wrote that I got that impression because I don't hang out here constantly and don't really know him. As for the telescopes—whether they were actually there or not (it was a long time ago, after all)—maybe they weren't specifically "telescopes," but don't worry, plenty of other gear fell into that category, so that's beside the point.

The bottom line is that things were getting messy, and you had every kind of crowd imaginable—from agitators to random bystanders. People were walking all over NYC just like they wanted to. Sure, there were clashes, but people were moving. Mostly because so many people were unorganized, which led to the chaos. Everyone was showing up in different ways, traveling all the way from the South, staying overnight, grabbing drinks, visiting family, or seeing their ladies 😁 and all that.

What exactly am I "not admitting"?
Fine, I’ll admit there were way more of you guys roaming around NYC than there ever were us in SF. There, I said it.
Did you walk through NYC however and wherever you pleased? Hell no. Sure, with a crowd that big, some people managed to pass through without a scratch, but that was the exception, not the rule.
Did people carry telescopes, sticks, or knives? I can guarantee you right now that in my crew—which was easily the most active group out there—nobody ever had anything in their hands.
Nobody, not even one of our guys, ever lost their cool or snatched a hat off someone's head just for talking too much. We’d just calmly hand over the salute, the flag, or the banner.

wanderingwolf3 said:The 93-94 era didn't even exist when it comes to fan brawls. Saying analogheron19 doesn't know anything about those times is just what someone who's completely clueless would say. He’s just slightly off on his timeline and refuses to admit certain facts, but I'll give him credit where it's due—the guys from Petrinja were basically holding their group together back then.

Of course it's possible to get years mixed up or forget specific games when you're looking at hundreds of matches spanning decades...
Like someone already pointed out above, there is no such thing as absolute truth. You can't have two people experience the exact same thing identically. Every single person involved—whether they think they're being objective or subjective—is going to walk away with a different impression.
Nobody can be in the exact same spot at every single moment in time.
Just look at how differently fans remember things. One guy swears every game in NYC back then was a total war zone, reminiscent of an underground warrior vibe, while another claims everything was smooth sailing until '96. One person had the luck of the draw, while another had to dodge chaos from downtown all the way to the stadium.

Gary Green32 said:You’re calling someone a cultist while you're still lurking in those same echo chambers yourself...

And yeah... if we actually sat down and put our moves against the mob on paper—showing how much noise they make in the media and in society and among people like you—we'd look like a freaking starship compared to you guys...

PS... we gathered here because you all act like hardcore ultras, yet you just made a move that has absolutely zero connection to an ultra mentality... but time will tell. Juventus and the Kansas City Chiefs will both face the consequences, and I’m really curious to see if you'll ever get the Washington, D.C. crowd back in the stadium...

Which "you"? Which "move" are we talking about?
Coming back to the games?
The only thing left to do is come back and fight. If anyone had any sense, they would have stayed after one of the previous returns. As for the conditions, the compromises, and all that other nonsense, we’ll deal with it after the Chiefs. Then, we draw the line.

Jamie Green62 said:What you two were doing in the USA, at the exact same time, there were a thousand people moving in New York City.
Since then, smoking more rags is the equivalent of that kind of volume. I don't even get what you're trying to say here.

If it’s true that we weren't out walking around, it just shows... how negligible our numbers were compared to your crowd in New York City.
Look, those of us who showed up aren't to blame just because we were a small group.
We did our part honestly, and if the rest of the crew didn't catch on... well, that's on them.
But saying they didn't notice us is a total lie. Plenty of times people recognized us on the bus, down at Miami Beach, all over the city, and around the Rose Bowl... people actually approached us, shook our hands, and showed respect because we’d run into each other in New York City before and always played fair in the scuffles (I'm talking about the Petrinjac fights). Usually, after a quick chat, it went like this: "Stay safe, people are pissed and looking for you," or something like that... a handshake, and everyone goes their separate ways.
