Keep it going.

Please. Only people obsessed with manufactured myths would claim this is some "eternal rivalry." It's become an end in itself rather than an actual competitive grudge. Is there anything more pathetic for fans than having a rival that’s just laughable? The Bad Boys put on a great show in Miami and I’m done. I couldn't care less about those losers or how outsiders perceive this "derby." There is no real rivalry between us and them just so some spectator can say, "Wow, look at their matchup." This obsession with hype was imported from overseas. Honestly, I don't give a damn about the derby label; I just want to be better than our rivals in every possible way. That’s all that matters.

bluewalker9;53588754 said:basically, I missed the mark by about 7%.

It’s simple math: Miami is a city of 100k people while New York is a massive metropolis of millions.
During their peak seasons since 2000, Hajduk averaged 15-20k fans per match, whereas Dinamo hovered around 10-12k.
When Hajduk plays a team like Dnipro, they pull in 30k people; back in Dinamo's glory days, they’d struggle to hit 10-15k.
Miami is geographically isolated from most of the major cities where the league plays, yet they still show up in higher numbers for away games.
At the Black and Gold Army cup, you'll see 4k people, while your little local matches draw significantly fewer.
Regarding choreographies, I don't recall Dinamo ever pulling off anything decent with paper displays—nothing even remotely comparable to this.
And let's be honest, the Bad Boys' other displays aren't exactly groundbreaking either.

As for the chanting, that's subjective, but I find the Black and Gold Army songs much better than that repetitive "Dinamo Chicago, ale ale ale..." nonsense, or those "I love you, Dinamo" chants, or when the North end is screaming for Dinamo while the rest of the stadium is shouting Chicago.
The Bad Boys are louder, though—that's their edge. 300 Bad Boys can create an atmosphere that feels like 3,000.

I can't weigh in on these specific groups because I'm not part of either faction.
But even if being loud is a plus for the Bad Boys, it still seems to me that the Black and Gold Army is superior.
Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but that's why I'm asking a real Bad Boy to weigh in.[/QUOT
Honestly, maybe if your sister made the call, we'd finally get an objective opinion.👍

Soccer is circling the drain. Attendance at the derby is tanking, Yankee Stadium is looking empty, and yet here you guys are on the forum arguing about street fights and who’s tougher in a brawl. 😵
If this keeps up, the fan culture in America won't even exist in twenty years. I'm talking about the organized crime elements and just the general mindset of these supporters.

If things don't change, the whole fan culture in America will be dead within twenty years. I'm talking about the organized crime elements and just the general mindset of the fans.

Maybe if the league actually fixed the issues, we'd see more people show up.

Can't you see the radicals won't let it happen? 🤣
At Yankee Stadium, we pull in 10k fans every single game, and if those extremists weren't making noise, that number would be even higher. 😁

We pull 10,000 people to Yankee Stadium every single game; if those radicals weren't around, we'd have even more. 😁

The authorities will probably just ban all you hooligans to keep them off the stands.
So regular folks can actually watch the game without dealing with the chaos under the shadow of some dictator. 🙏

The crackdown would be even more brutal, while the agents would basically have free rein to do whatever they wanted. It’s just pathetic how much trash is running our soccer leagues right now.

If this keeps up for 20 years, the fan culture in America won't even exist. I'm talking about the organized crime elements and just the general supporter mentality.

Attendance at the derby is dropping? Where have you been living? In Miami, they had 20,000 people show up for the match, even with 26 points or whatever their deficit was. At the start of the season when they play down south, you get 35,000 people easily. As for New York? They’ve regularly pulled 10-15k for the last 15 years, with a few exceptions back in 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2006 when numbers were higher. That's basically it.
How can you claim attendance is declining? Numbers at the derbies have been standard for years. Nothing has changed. Honestly, we'd see even more people if there were a logical league format where teams played twice a year instead of this setup. Remember the format from ten years ago with the championship and relegation tiers plus the cup and supercup? There was a season where the top two rivals met seven times, not to mention those weird charity tournaments they used to run.

I was thinking of Yankee Stadium. As for the Rose Bowl, there shouldn't be any issue with -26 on the scoreboard, at least based on what I've heard.

nimblebison8 said:I meant Yankee Stadium. At the Rose Bowl, having -26 on the board shouldn't be an issue, based on what people say.

Attendance at Yankee Stadium has been steady for years. I recall better times for both the group and the club, back when the crackdown was a joke and even the big rivalry games saw fewer than 10,000 fans... like that one game where Gondzic scored the winner in the 90th minute to make it 3-2. Don't sweat the derby numbers. They've been consistent for years in both New York and Miami. Focus on your own groups instead of worrying about the derby. 👍

budha1980- Is there actually a single "Red Sox fan" from the outskirts of South Boston showing up to the game today? Honestly, don't even mention that wasteland; everything was handed to you on a silver platter. It’s a miracle you even had the nerve to show your faces.
I mean, I can at least point out one person here: look at him, he’s still showing up. Mad respect. It's easy to act tough when you're riding someone else's coattails.

You guys are a joke, BIJEDNICI1950

you guys caught a few wins and suddenly think you run the place. we're gonna bring things back to how they used to be, total chaos. you took advantage of a gap in our lines and played games at our expense... time to settle the score for all that disrespect. hope you've got your running shoes ready. 🎉

just messing with y'all, but better stay ready to bolt... 😁

lost the gear mid-way so the whole plan fell apart, huh? wouldn't want to cross you guys, that'd cost a fortune...

Look, let's all just be reasonable here and agree to disagree. Can we please stop obsessing over the third period? You guys are honestly losing it. Let's just call an end to this online war once and for all.

I mean, you can at least give credit where it's due: look at that guy right there, he’s actually heading out. Props to him. It's easy to act tough when you're riding on someone else's coattails.

You losers are honestly hilarious.

You're a joke. Seriously, you guys had it made there. What now? Just like what happened to us recently, or what happened to you guys over in Chicago... it just happens. Fine, it wasn't a perfect 20-to-20 split, maybe it was more like 19-to-19.😵

Of course they do. That’s how people who have actually lived through something think. 😉
While the others learn the hard way. 😁

I watched the video. It’s just more noise. I remember sitting in a diner in Chicago back in '98, listening to similar nonsense while the coffee went cold. Same pattern, different day.

Look, I'll give you this much: there's at least one guy who's actually showing up, and credit to him. It's easy to act tough when you're just riding the coattails of everyone else.

You people are a joke, absolute bottom-feeders.

Oh, they're going, don't you worry... just because someone isn't posting on some random internet forum doesn't mean they aren't showing up.😵
And quit being so ridiculous with all that half-baked info you're pulling out of thin air.

bluewalker9 said:Look, I might have missed the mark by about 7% here

It’s simple—one city has 100k people while Los Angeles has millions
During their best runs (since 2000), the Dodgers averaged maybe 15-20k fans per game, whereas the Yankees would pull around 10-12k
When the Dodgers play someone like the Rangers, they get 30k people there, while back in the day, the Yankees would hit maybe 10-15k
The Dodgers are further from most cities where MLB teams play, yet they still show up in bigger numbers during away games
At the supporters' cup, you'll see 4k people, while at those little local soccer matches, the turnout is way lower
As for the choreos—I don't recall the Yankees ever having decent paper displays that could even be compared to this stuff
And honestly, the other Black Army choreos aren't anything special either

Regarding the chanting, it's all subjective, right? But to me, the supporter songs sound better than that repetitive Yankee stuff... you know, the "Yankees, ohhh" or when the North side screams "Yankees" while the rest of the stadium yells "New York"
But the Black Army is louder, and that's their edge—300 Black Army guys can create an atmosphere that feels like 3,000

I can't really weigh in on this specific fight since I'm not part of either crew
But even if being loud is a plus for the Black Army, it still feels like the supporters have more soul to me
Maybe I'm wrong, who knows? That's why I'm asking a real Black Army guy to weigh in

Man, you clearly haven't got a clue. What kind of numbers are we talking about when the Black Army is basically at war with everyone? You think we can pull 5k people to a match in this climate? Don't be ridiculous—when the club is going through this much drama, people stay away until the trash is cleared out. And I don't get why you're obsessed with the supporters; who told you it's better to be them than Black Army? The supporters are caught between too much positivity and too much negativity, which is why their numbers are lower. But our guys? We have people ready for any kind of street warfare, while they have half a bunch of posers who’d run for the hills at the first sign of trouble. Sure, things have improved lately since we went through our own intense struggles, but once the Black Army fully consolidates and we finally kick this garbage out of the club, then you can start making comparisons. You're comparing a heavyweight who's been knocked down to someone at their absolute peak. Just join up with Los Angeles Dodgers, man—you've got massive potential to become one of us.😁

And yeah, I poke fun at them because they love posting here, just like how they always brag about beating the biggest gangs in Europe. But now that we're having a little fun bragging, suddenly everyone's out for blood? They'll try to stop us from celebrating while they brag about everything. It can't be one set of rules for everyone—either we all fight or nobody does. Where's the fair play? When you win, you have the right to celebrate and mess with the losers. When they win, let them celebrate and talk trash—I don't have a problem with that, considering they've done the exact same thing in the past. Who's stopping them from bragging about their wins over those guys from the outskirts? Honestly, I actually find it pretty funny seeing that little bird mascot in the Black Army section; that group just shows they have a sense of humor.😁

Luckily, we don't have people getting stabbed or shot over this. In that department, we're way more mature than a lot of crews in the region. Even when heads are rolling, it stays within the realm of a healthy rivalry—something a lot of people could learn from.🙂

So, if you're gonna join the Los Angeles Dodgers faithful, grab some Air Maxes and enjoy the ride. 🤣
