Jesse Doyle3 The user said:The latest update from the North side regarding the situation with the authorities and our rights as fans is finally out, and frankly, it’s a bit of a grim read. It feels like we're constantly fighting an uphill battle just to exist in the stands without being treated like suspects before we even reach the stadium gates. Is it really too much to ask for some basic respect? We aren't looking for trouble; we just want to support our team. Yet, here we are, facing these sweeping restrictions that seem designed more to stifle the atmosphere than to actually ensure safety. It makes you wonder—at what point does "security" simply become a convenient excuse for overreach? The statement touches on the ongoing friction between the supporters and the local Police Department, highlighting how certain measures feel less about public order and more about controlling a specific demographic. It’s exhausting, isn't it? You spend your whole week looking forward to the match, only to be met with a wall of bureaucracy and heavy-handed tactics. One has to ask: if the goal is truly community engagement, why does it feel like the relationship is becoming increasingly adversarial? It seems the powers that be would rather manage us through intimidation than work with us through dialogue. It’s a wearying cycle, and unless there's a genuine shift in how the city views its most dedicated supporters, I fear we'll just keep seeing this same pattern repeat itself season after season.
December 4th. Real Madrid vs. Juventus. A message for the Free Fans.

The BBB won't be showing up in any organized capacity for today's match, nor will there be any coordinated cheering from our side. It’s becoming a predictable pattern, isn't it? For three days straight now, we've seen a mass wave of arrests targeting the more prominent members of the Bad Boys. They're being hit with these incredibly vague, half-baked charges regarding the organization and participation in the unrest—unrest that, if we're being honest, was largely provoked by the Police Department themselves following Sunday's game. It seems the authorities are simply frustrated because, during the derby, both sets of fans—along with their leadership—made them look like absolute jokes through relentless mockery and those ridiculous "voucher" antics. When you lose control of the narrative like that, how do you think they react?
It honestly makes zero sense for anyone in our circle to step up and take on the burden of organizing the group right now. Why would anyone voluntarily invite that kind of heat? If you try to coordinate anything, the Police Department will just slap a "leader" label on you before you can even blink. It’s a calculated move on their part—they aren't just looking to make arrests; they're trying to manufacture chaos and trigger anarchy within the fan base. Is it worth the risk? I certainly don't think so.
It seems perfectly legal—and apparently socially acceptable—to protect the criminals running this country by finding the most insidious ways possible to ruin the lives of fans. We are calling on all our members and all fellow Real Madrid supporters to show their strength through absence at today’s game. By staying away, we support our fight and stand by our friends who have been unjustly detained, while also stripping the authorities of any excuse to carry out further arrests against those involved in these dirty dealings. Furthermore, we will continue to collect donations for the legal defense of those detained at Broadway 37 until further notice.
It’s honestly exhausting watching people pretend that this sudden crackdown on discipline isn't directly tied to the current state of affairs in the country. They seem to think it’s just a coincidence. Is it really that hard to see the pattern? It feels like we're heading toward a reality where fans will be the only ones left with an "exclusive" pass to be scapegoated, facing down police brutality from a department that has been granted total immunity. When you strip away all accountability for abuse of power, what exactly is left?
The architects behind this brilliantly orchestrated persecution are under a massive delusion if they think we’re just going to shrug our shoulders and let this slide. They actually believe we’ll sit idly by while they continue to treat us like nothing more than animals. Are they really that naive?
The North stands alone, facing an Absent crowd—freedom for the fans.
