Bad Boys - Part IV

I need a passenger van ASAP for tomorrow. Anyone got a lead on a cheap rental?

I just sent you a private message

Thanks, man.

It doesn't really matter; it would have been nice to have a bigger turnout, but you win some, you lose some. A few people just couldn't make it,
including me and quite a few others in my circle, so what can you do?

...honestly, this was a fantastic edition... let's keep this momentum going...

Where on earth do these idiots come from?
The Bad Boys pull in maybe 500 people at home, plus more away during those small, medium, or big matches. That’s what a modern group looks like. Having backing vocals is great for the atmosphere, but that usually only happens during big derbies or when playing in Europe... sometimes. You never see 1,000 people showing up for a matchup against a team like Portland or anything similar. A week ago, we had decent numbers, but yesterday there was nobody, even if there might have been more people in the past.
And they weren't asking why things were falling apart when attendance was at its lowest. They only started complaining now that it's obvious everything is actually looking up...

Man, you have zero clue what you're talking about... maybe check the facts before you start typing...
anyway, props to the team for how they're handling things right now....

The Bad Boys pull about 500 people locally, whether it's a small matchup or a big one. That’s what a modern group looks like. Having backup vocals helps the atmosphere, sure, but that usually only happens during derbies or when playing in Europe. You never saw 1,000 people showing up for an LA Lakers game against a mid-tier team like they did a few weeks ago. You didn't see crowds at the smaller venues last week, and you certainly didn't see them yesterday, even if attendance was higher once upon a time.
And these idiots didn't ask why we were failing when numbers were at their lowest; they're only asking now that things are clearly looking up.

500 to 1,000 people is the ceiling for a single group. Anyone telling you otherwise is just kidding themselves. There aren't even ten groups in all of Europe that can pull 200 people when things get intense, let alone thousands.

Our issue isn't the core group; it's everyone else. There are no retirees, no students, no casual fans, no general public, no women, no kids—there's NOBODY. This isn't just a reflection of how things are with the Lakers or American soccer; it's a reflection of the state of the entire country.

But even in this era of apathy and repression, we’re still here, loud and proud as ever. These times won't last forever. Better days will come, just like they always do.

The issue isn't the core group; it's everything else. There are no retirees, no students, no casual fans, no women, no kids... there's NOBODY. This isn't just about the state of the Los Angeles Lakers or the sport itself—it’s a reflection of the whole damn country.

But even with all this apathy and repression, we're still here, loud and proud as ever. These times won't last forever. Better days are coming, just like they always do.

Facts.

The turnout was actually solid yesterday, probably our biggest away crowd in years. Like the previous guy said, we’ve got numbers, we just need more regular fans to show up.

And just imagine if that had happened on a Friday at 6:00 PM while it was pouring rain outside

It was fucking wild over at Kranjća yesterday. Every single time they play a road game against Chicago, there’s some bullshit argument breaking out about those numbers🤦... anyone who could make it out showed up and we made sure things were loud and proud....👍
-just saw all the messages now🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Moving right along. Next Sunday, we’ve got a home game scheduled against those old "suburbanites."

If you're wondering how they earned that particular nickname, just take a look at this clip:



Amongst that crowd of famous faces from over twenty years ago (back in the spring of '92), keep your eyes peeled for the 1:10 mark—look right below Boban... 🤦

How is he even there? I was literally defending America against those guys who were supposedly his friends back then. 🤷
-Check out the mustache at 1:03 🤣

Restroom at Kranjća🤣🤣🤣🤣

Classic vibes from '93 when the Bad Boys took on Milan

Is this some kind of joke?

It was just a prize drawing. They were pulling balls out of a drum.🙂

Visually, that new transom on the stands looks absolutely spot on. Honestly, the numbers look solid to me too. But man, you’ve gotta hear this guy over at Kranjća—he’s on a whole different level. Check this out 😍

Joseph Scott said:The aesthetics of the stands with that new transom look absolutely flawless to me, and honestly, the attendance numbers seem solid enough. But let me tell you, the announcer over at the stadium is really something else, just listen to this

😍

By the time he finishes reading out the starting lineups, ten minutes of the game have already ticked away on the clock.🤣
