The ultras are out in full force in Springfield, but letβs be realβI couldn't care less about how the fencing looks or whatever. Though, I have to say, the current setup looks pretty pathetic, especially for those of you lucky enough to have high-end plexiglass setups
itβs basically on par with that cheap scrap metal fence the Red Sox fans use

just like those Red Sox fans with their Codex stuff
Is it really better to see a bunch of banners instead of actual people?
If you're paying attention, you know we've never been chasing some "aesthetic" vibe. We care about being original... so this fence style fits right in with what we do.π

I mean, back then, youβd see crowds that big at San Francisco for other top-tier teams too, especially during those big European matchups. If I remember correctly, the all-time attendance record for the stadium in the South belongs to that game against Virginia back in '74.

Finally, the ultras.... just keep this energy up until the end... get back where you belong
right where you belong

Itβs just like those security fences they have around the stadiums in San Francisco. Always trying to keep the chaos contained.
Terry Fisher49 said:Is it actually better to see more banners than actual people? I remember sitting in the stands back in San Francisco once, surrounded by nothing but plastic signs and empty space, feeling more alone than if Iβd been watching from my living room. It just feels hollow.
If you've been paying attention, then you already know. We never actually aimed for some high-brow "aesthetic." We were always more interested in being original.The design of this fence seems to align perfectly with what was previously discussed.π
And there it isβitβs going to be a hell of a derby.
They call themselves "stylists" rather than true aesthetes, but I have no desire to get dragged into an argument over it.
Honestly, you should have just brought one of your three heavy hitters to the game instead of wasting everyone's time.
The turnout was exactly what I anticipated, but the stands are incredibly crampedβnarrow and tight, much like those old bleachers back in rural Ohio.
For instance, don't bother pleading. Honestly, Iβd much rather just stand against everyone.π,
Thatβs a solid sentiment. I suspect it actually originated over in Italy.π€·
We stand alone against everyone. Itβs quite powerful.ππAnd honestly, this suits you all perfectly....π¬β

You're not wrong, we really dropped the ball by not bringing a bigger one... Usually, it's just what we do, we lug them everywhere whenever we're heading out to San Diego or Washington, D.C., but this time we kind of "forgot"... If nothing else, at least we tried to make up for it with those little flags on the fence in the second section π ... Onward and upward...

Seattle - Steven B 2:1
Not even the rain could dampen the emotional firestorm in Seattle
A gray cloud hung over the Bay Area all Saturday, dumping heavy rain thatβaccording to some unofficial countsβwashed at least a thousand or two fans away from the stands. But thatβs just how things go in Seattle... Despite the downpour, nearly four thousand supporters showed up to create an incredible atmosphere. It was a total powder keg of emotion that pushed the home side toward another victory. The ultras were drumming right behind the banners featuring our legendary slogan, punctuated by the occasional blast of vuvuzelas from the center stands. One moment really stood out: in the 83rd minute, the entire stadium joined in on this season's anthem, "Man, I don't feel so good..." It was electric. And when the final whistle blew, the players rushed toward the west stand to join the usual celebratory waves while thunderous applause echoed from the rest of the crowd. It was one of those nights where nobody wanted to leave the stands. Rain be damned!

Weβre still out here living the dream... please, for the love of god, don't wake us up ππ²

I am absolutely incensed by this turn of events; if things had gone differently, we would have been looking at a packed house today. It is truly a shame because the stadium would have been overflowing if it weren't for that recent setback... just please, for the love of everything, don't let us drop points against Orlando City. If we can pull off a win there, Iβm telling you, tickets for the September 18th match will be gone in the blink of an eye.

And today, once again, itβs perfectly clear skies π
