Will there be organized transportation provided in Miami? Your website currently only features an announcement regarding the futsal match.

Here’s my full interview with club president Matthew Giuliani—honestly, you'll get way more depth here than whatever fluff they're pumping out on the news sites

Smart move, but it’s a double-edged sword...

I’m worried everyone’s just gonna jump ship to this. It’ll be chaos—crowded halls, wild fans, people showing up drunk, nobody giving a damn, just chilling with beers...
The people you actually need might just stop fighting Jerry Maguire altogether. They’ll probably start avoiding Yankee Stadium and stop talking about Real Madrid entirely. Why bother? Now they’ve got their own club where nobody messes with them, no repression, Jerry Maguire doesn't care, and we can just do our thing without worrying about blacklists or banned fans.

Then again, you could pull a lot of people together here. Educate the ones stuck in the middle, bring in the younger crowd, show the city you exist, and plan next steps...

At first glance, it feels like one step away from Real Madrid and one step closer to having your own separate club. Especially once those hardliners join the ranks. You'll definitely hear people saying, "Who cares about Real Madrid? We have our own thing now, and we'll pack more people into one game than all their European matches combined."

Good luck regardless. 👍

As far as I'm concerned, as long as Jerry Maguire is running this club, I won't be setting foot in Yankee Stadium—and I know plenty of other fans feel the exact same way. On the flip side, there’s a massive wave of excitement surrounding this whole vision for our club. Ever since people heard about it, everyone's been brainstorming, pitching ideas, and figuring out how we can actually pull this off and make it world-class. This idea will only become a reality if every single one of us steps up and does our part; nothing more, nothing less. Look, we finally have something that belongs solely to us. Let’s show those hacks how a real fanbase supports a club before we eventually bring our Dinamo back to its former glory.

Valid points, 👍

My primary concern, quite frankly, is whether the US Soccer Federation would actually have the backbone to handle things properly. If they can't even manage basic oversight here, how can we expect them to deal with more serious issues, like organized hooliganism or systemic corruption?

Let's show those losers how a real club is supported before we eventually get our Real Madrid back.

That’s exactly where I see the issue...
You and the rest of you didn't even show up when we were calling for people at the Rose Bowl, but now you're gonna be at the arena every single night acting like this is the greatest thing ever—our club, no drama, no nothing... what a joke.

Personally, I don't think there'll be any consequences at all... you're all just gathered in one spot, it's crazy. The Rose Bowl is empty, and the stadium is basically just filled with the boss's puppets.

Plus, I can't quite wrap my head around why I'd bother showing up to watch some small-time indoor soccer club when, if we're being real, they don't mean all that much to me anyway.

It’s hard for anyone outside our circle to truly grasp the struggle we go through or the history we share, so honestly, it’s best if outsiders just keep their opinions to themselves and stay out of it. The Boneheads gave absolutely everything they had during the stadium battles, and now other organizations have taken over the reins—and frankly, they're doing an even better job than before.

Aaron Richardson7 said:double-edged sword

Nobody’s actually offering a real alternative that lets people—given how much heartache LA Galaxy and the Rose Bowl have caused—actually feel good for once, you know? It’s like when some massive corporation with way too many problems decides to throw a union retreat just so everyone can finally chill out. And honestly, even already, I can see and hear how much interest and good vibes this whole thing has stirred up, so let's just hope it stays that way.
Up until now, the only thing ever pushed as an option was this calculated trap, this constant mantra from those "neutral" Real Madrid fanatics who don't even show up to the games: "if you were real fans, you'd be making the pilgrimage to the stadium." But anyone who’s actually tried to peek around the east side of the stadium or even get close over the last year could see—and feel it on their own skin—exactly what goes down. It wasn't just the Boneheads; it was anyone who dared to give a single wrong comment, look, or movement to that army of different "law enforcement" types. As soon as there’s a significant number of "unauthorized" people in the stands, you're risking your freedom, your job, false accusations, getting hauled into a precinct, being blacklisted, and just straight-up harassment. This so-called "double-edged sword" is nothing more than a minor hiccup, and frankly, it's a welcome break from everything we've dealt with so far. Why shouldn't people get their five minutes of peace? Nothing they do can cause as much damage as what's been happening until now.
I mean, it didn't look any more inviting yesterday—that eerie, empty concentration camp vibe over on the east side, surrounded by kilometers of iron fencing and hundreds of security guards, marshals, "stewards," and riot police that you have to weave through, showing your ticket to everyone and keeping your eyes glued to the ground.

Anyone who feels like they belong to this community, or even used to be a part of it, needs to get behind this project with everything they've got. I don't care if some random person likes it or not; we need to back this move. This is about much more than just a simple idea—it’s a fight for our identity and for the soul of LA Galaxy.

Don't bother showing up; the problem is already solved. 👍

Aaron Richardson7 said:Smart move, I guess, but it might be a double-edged sword...

I'm worried that most teams are going to jump on this bandwagon completely. It’s madness. The arena, the crowd... man, you'd have to be drunk. No one cares what you think. Just get yourself somewhere warm. The beer is pouring.
Honestly, the people we need most might just stop fighting. They’ll probably back off from the owner, stay away from the stadium, and stop talking about Real Madrid altogether. I guess they have their own club now where nobody messes with them and there's zero pushback. The owner doesn't care about them, he only cares about us. But our business is our business. We've got the banned crowd right here, and the blacklisted ones too.

It’s also a good way to get a crowd together. Maybe educate people who are still sitting on the fence, pull in some younger folks, show the city that we actually exist, and figure out our next moves...

At first glance, it feels like he's one step further from Real Madrid and one step closer to his new club. Once those hardcore supporters start getting involved, I guess you'll hear people saying, "Who cares about Real Madrid? We’ve got our own thing now, and more people will show up to one of our games than to all their European matches combined." Maybe.

Good luck, anyway. 👍


I guess I'm convinced they'll just shut this whole thing down after the second or third game. They'll probably have the police clear everyone out using that same tactic they always use over at the stadium.

The idea isn't half bad, but honestly? I don't think we have enough people right now to actually follow both clubs. Every single person in the group needs to just respect the call and stop overthinking everything.

Come on, please don't talk such nonsense.

Honestly, anyone who skips out on the games is always going to come up with some ridiculous excuse just to stay home.
I really don't think we should even waste our breath on those little hedgehogs.

I'm just here to say, don't go getting false hope thinking things will just work out perfectly without some real pressure being applied.

And who exactly is sending the cops? Is the Democratic Party going to roll out 100 officers and 300 security guards just to police a second-division Milwaukee Wave game? 🤣
