I don't think I could even stop myself from cheering my head off... and honestly, if I were watching and following the whole game like they do, I’d probably be losing my mind by now. I'd be totally burnt out, I guess. 😉 All in all, I think having a little debate like this isn't a bad thing at all. 😁

So, I watched the entire game from start to finish, and hey, I'll keep doing it as long as I have the energy. I mean, watching the whole thing really depends on whether it's a day where I'm staying sober or if I'm hanging out with five other idiots like I usually am.

I don't really get why people think you can't watch the ball and be a die-hard fan at the same time. 🤷

Seriously, guys, how much longer are we gonna do this? This absolute disaster of a team is basically spitting in our faces, wasting whatever dignity we have left, and here we are—ready to give them a standing ovation. Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: I’m not talking about any corporate buyouts or privatization nonsense, and yeah, I’m all for supporting the team until the wheels fall off. But look, support is something you earn. You don't just strip down and cheer for everyone regardless of how bad they play. Most of you out there are probably nodding along thinking, "Yeah, he's got a point," but then you start making excuses—"Oh, we don't have the budget," or "The rookies aren't ready yet," or some other garbage. Meanwhile, we're getting bullied by small-town teams from the coast and those cheap feeder squads. People, please, wake up. Stop clapping after every single loss. If they actually played their hearts out, they could lose 10-0 and I’d still be cheering, but they need to actually try. Right now, it feels like everyone's just showing off and acting like they couldn't care less whether they win or lose.
Go Dodgers!

[QUOTE=Frank Sanchez37;50943146]
[QUOTE="Melissa Reyes45, post: 583552, member: 43225"]You’re talking absolute nonsense, kid. There isn't a single place in this entire country where you see a gap between a club and its fans as massive as what we’re dealing with in Miami. I mean, look at the Los Angeles Dodgers over the last decade—it’s been a total heartbreak, especially with all the heavy-handed repression and the constant mockery coming from the top brass of the system. Honestly, it’s a miracle anyone even bothers showing up to support them anymore. So yeah, you're talking garbage. We’ve got 5,000 season ticket holders right now and about 7,000 core members, plus a group that is finally running the way it should if you want things to actually work. So let’s quit the whining about what the group has done for you and maybe ask yourself what you've actually contributed to the group for once. It’s not just you, either—all of us need to stop talking and start doing, because there's plenty of work to go around. The group is always looking for fresh, motivated people to step up, so don't worry, there's more than enough work waiting for you if you can actually handle it. 😉[/QUOTE=black bag;50942453
I'm with you on like 95% of what you just laid out, man. I feel almost exactly the same way about most of it, but honestly, if you're already sitting there in the North Stand (not even talking about the middle or northwest sections)
if it weren't for that raw, burning urge to support the team, I wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, seriously, if I had to watch and follow every single minute of these games just like everyone else, my blood pressure would be through the roof by now. I'd be completely burnt out. 😉 All in all, it's not bad to hash things out like this every once in a while. 😁
You're only cheering just to keep yourself from losing your mind. Over there, you've got people lighting flares one minute, and then halfway through the halftime break, they're walking around eating ice cream like nothing happened... so tell me, what's really the difference?[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Yeah, sure, I’m just cheering to calm my nerves—because God forbid I actually care about the Los Angeles Dodgers, right? Like, am I just here to vent my frustrations or something?🙂 🙂 Look, whenever the chanting dies down around me, nobody tries to force it or jumpstart the crowd again... and you know why they stop singing? It's because they start actually paying attention to the game, seeing how beautifully our guys are playing, and then they just get fed up with everything and lose interest. We can sit here all day debating whether we need people like that, but I'm just telling you how things actually go down in the Northeast section where I always end up sitting.

It’s honestly kind of wild that a group as legendary as the Black Knights doesn't have its own website—you know, with photo galleries, official updates, and all that good stuff http://www.blackknights.com/

When you consider how some other hardcore fanbases 😁have everything laid out perfectly, I just can't wrap my head around why we haven't done it yet.

Such a massive oversight... 🙂

Right now, the top-ranked club in America can't even fill up the stands at Candlestick Park—which is pretty pathetic when you consider that just a month ago, the boys were playing at a level where they could pack 😉

How old are you, kid?

Do you have any idea how many people were sent home? Just try matching that number with whoever was stuck in the holding cells 😉

And that's already happened twice.

copperraven6 said:How old are you, kid? Seriously...

Do you even realize how many people got turned away? Just try matching that number to the total capacity of the visitor section... 😉

And that’s the second time this has happened. What a joke.

Look, we all know the new visiting section maxes out at maybe 600 or 650 seats. They aren't printing a single ticket beyond that! You guys are acting like big shots now because you showed up in double numbers, knowing damn well you wouldn't get in!
Mađar had over 250 people sent home because they thought they were being clever and showed up with more tickets than there were actual seats! Honestly, those days when huge crowds of away fans would swarm Candlestick Park? Those days are long gone...

Man, we’ll pack more than just some old stadium for you, trust me.

It’s basically my own little way of keeping my nerves from completely snapping. Honestly, who gives a damn about the Rangers Supporters Club? I’m just here to vent my own frustrations and blow off some steam, that's all. 🙂 🙂 Look, whenever the chanting starts up near me, nobody even tries to pick it back up or get the momentum going again. And you want to know why they just quit? It’s because they actually start paying attention to the game, realize how damn well our guys are playing, and then they just lose interest in all that noise. They basically stop giving a shit. We can sit here and talk all day about how we don't need those types of fans, but I’m telling you this based on what I see firsthand down in Philly.

Look, you literally wrote it yourself... go back and read what you actually put out there.

Look, kid, I can't really take the blame if you're having a hard time grasping the whole sentence or even the little smiley face at the end... but honestly, it doesn't matter, there's way too much going on with the Rangers right now to worry about whether me or anyone else is cheering for what exactly... catch ya later.😁

Magyar had over 250 people turned away because they were acting like geniuses and showed up with more people than they actually had tickets for. Sadly, those days when massive crowds of visiting fans used to pack San Francisco are long gone.

We ended up getting 550
the home fans need to speak up too

Seriously, look at these jealous losers and agitators. A year and a half ago, this crowd couldn't pull 500 people to home games, and they were barely hitting 40 on the road. Now, suddenly, they’re acting all high and mighty just because the local music scene finally found its rhythm. You see those guys from the rival cities heading to away games where they aren't even allowed in town, while we’re just playing it smart by not counting heads at the exits in San Francisco. They’d probably love to go out there and file formal reports on who showed up and what happened, especially if they can attach some police paperwork to it. Idiots. You’ve got your nice little little stories to tell, so go ahead and enjoy them..

The North Stand at Madison Square Garden fills up too, so maybe you should focus your energy on that instead...
