Bad Boys

Gary Green32 said:Just one question, and I really don't want this to sound like I'm trying to start something.

What’s the consensus on when BBB will get back to their glory days? Will they ever be that powerhouse again? I have no clue what the vibe is like in Chicago lately... does anyone even care about the team or BBB anymore? Is there even that local neighborhood scene left, that kind of tight-knit circle where ultras used to emerge from...?

Honestly, nobody would be happier than me to see the Delije take on Athens, though I'm sure they ran into trouble before... hmmm, too much time has passed, unfortunately. But ten years ago? They would've swept the floor with them...

What do you guys think about when you wonder if BBB will ever get back to those glory days? Will they ever be as powerful as they used to be? I'm not really sure what the vibe is like in New York right now—if anyone even cares about the team or BBB anymore. Like, does that local neighborhood scene still exist, where you'd have a pool of kids growing into ultras?

Honestly, nobody would be happier than me to see the supporters take over during the trip to Athens, and I'm pretty sure the opposition hit you hard before... hmmm, too much time has passed, unfortunately, but ten years ago, they probably would've swept the floor with them...

The real issue is that those guys got backup later—like, sixty people waiting in ambush—so it was basically just a numbers game at that point, and there were quite a few young kids over at BBB too. If they hadn't all folded a day earlier, regardless of whatever drama was happening within BBB, I honestly think they would've wiped the floor with them.

BBB is basically a group that lost a massive chunk of its core—not just the derby crowd, but the actual foundation of the group. If you were part of BBB and started listing everyone who dropped out, you’d probably end up with a pretty long list of high-quality names. I suppose the bleeding really started somewhere around that mid-January circus we dealt with, and it hasn't stopped since. But honestly, I don't see much point in being all defeatist about it; BBB is still standing and they're still fighting. If anything, I think they’re prouder than ever of everything they've pulled off so far, given the path they chose. They could have taken a different route and maybe ended up stronger than they were ten years ago, I guess.

And as for all this talk about who beat whom and when... even at the airport in Athens, those 30 guys wouldn't have stood a chance if everyone who went to Greece had been in the exact same spot during the brawl.

I’ve got one question... why didn't those people come back when there was that big organized push for BBB to finally reclaim their home section? When they had a better opportunity and way more motivation than just returning to the main stands... I was expecting absolute madness, you know, like some legendary reunion. Just filling the stands with BBB in its old, powerful form. But what actually happened? They barely managed to fill half the section, and they couldn't even hold their own against fifty paid mercenaries. People are leaving the group constantly; look at how many we've lost here, whether it was because of prison time or some leftist bullshit... and that’s always going to happen. In a city like New York, the problem is that there's nobody left to step up and fill those shoes, while in a place like LA or even parts of the South, people live and breathe for their teams so they don't have issues with numbers. And one more thing, in my opinion, even the coach doesn't have an excuse; sure, he's stubborn and totally unreasonable, but any owner can fire someone—we know that from personal experience.

All this "if they did this" or "if that happened" or "maybe the sun was in their eyes instead of ours" stuff... it's all pretty much pointless to comment on again.

They should've had way more motivation then than just returning to the main stands. I was expecting total chaos—like a legendary reunion. Just filling the BBB section back to its old, powerhouse glory. But what actually happened? A few people showed up, barely filled half the section, and they still couldn't hold their own against 50 hired goons...

Where did everyone go after all those closures and that whole "big move back north" thing? Like, where are those people from places like Chicago or New York now? Or are they all just party animals? Is it just a big celebration? Did they come here just to have a good time, and then everyone else follows suit? I guess I really don't understand.🤔

wanderingwolf3 said:Maybe I’m just getting older, or maybe my brain is just fried from too much caffeine, but I honestly can’t wrap my head around where everyone disappeared to. After all that talk about Mom’s place shutting down and that whole "great migration north" craze, I thought we’d see people everywhere. Where did they go? All those folks who were supposedly heading to places like New York or Chicago—are they gone? Or was this entire thing just one big party crowd? It feels like they only showed up because they heard there was a celebration happening, and as soon as the music stopped, they all vanished. Once everyone else left, they followed suit, and now I’m just sitting here wondering what the deal actually was. I truly don't get it.🤔
