You can't just judge everyone by your grandpa's standards if he was a Dinamo fan and thinks everyone from the mountains is the same. That guy lives closer to the coast than to Chicago, both geographically and in terms of how people act. It makes way more sense to me that most of them would be Hajduk fans.

Anyway, are you left-wing or right-wing?

frozenskipper said:I'm more interested in who's out there in larger numbers... does anyone have the scoop on people from places like Little Rock, El Paso, Phoenix, or maybe Savannah? Or even Charleston, Mobile, or Memphis?
What about the Midwest, say Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, or maybe Des Moines?
How's the vibe with the Breen Boys and the Bad Boys over in Boise or elsewhere?

Fine, since you’re being so persistent, here’s my rough take on how it looks:
The East Coast side has more Breen Boys, while the West Coast is mostly Bad Boys.
Man, if you look at the Midwest and the Mountain regions, it’s heavily Bad Boys, but the coastal areas lean toward the Breen Boys.
Down South and in the Plains, you see more Breen Boys, though honestly, a lot of them follow the local heavyweights instead (if you catch my drift).😉 ☕

frozenskipper said:Western Slavonia includes Slavonski Brod, if I recall correctly... maybe I'm off base here, but that's how I see it.
You can't really judge by your grandfather's loyalty if he's a Dinamo fan and assumes everyone from that region is the same... because that guy is actually closer to the coast than to the capital... both geographically and just in terms of how people act, so it makes more sense to me that most of them are Hajduk fans.

I don't measure things by my grandad, but honestly, places like Boise, Orem, Ogden, Josephton, and even Yellowstone all used to have their own local Bad Boys chapters. Some of them still do—maybe they aren't quite as loud as they used to be, but they're still around. Especially the folks in Boise. The Breen Boys were mostly concentrated over in San Diego... but San Diego isn't part of that mountain region.😉 The only other thing I know for sure is there's this little group of 4 or 5 guys from Ogden who follow Hajduk religiously, so you could say Ogden has its own little Breen Boys branch (though they've got the Boys too).😉

I don't know, based on what I've seen personally, most people from that area lean toward Dinamo. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it... I spent a good chunk of my younger years out there after all.

rustyraven34... look, maybe Dinamo used to have more fans out in the Midwest... but you have to account for the fact that they're losing supporters at an alarming rate everywhere else. Just look at how empty their home stadium feels lately, then compare that to the energy at Poljud when they take on teams like Karagendia, Dnipro, or even Dinamo themselves...
He seems to think there isn't a single region left in the US—aside from maybe parts of Ohio or Michigan—where Dinamo fans aren't the majority. Meanwhile, Hajduk keeps picking up new supporters thanks to their deep-rooted tradition, the Breen Boys, the atmosphere at Poljud, and that whole vibe... while Dinamo just keeps bleeding people. That’s just the reality of it.

frozenskipper said:rustyraven34... okay, sure, maybe Dinamo used to have more fans out in the rural Midwest... but you really have to look at how fast they’re losing people everywhere. Just look at their home stadium sitting half-empty, then look at Hajduk playing against teams like Karagendia, Dnipro, or even Dinamo itself...

Look man, speaking as a die-hard Hajduk fan myself, I’ve gotta tell you, it feels like you don't really have a clue what's actually going on in the supporter scene right now...

Hey there, Pinturicchio, why don't you go ahead and share your expert opinion on the supporter scene over in the Midwest, the South, or out in the Great Plains...

Trying to run the numbers on whether there are more Black Knights fans or Dinamo fans is honestly just a fool's errand. If you really wanted to be fair, you’d just call it a 50/50 split and leave it at that. Nobody actually knows the truth, and frankly, nobody ever will. But let’s get one thing straight: the Black Knights crowd is way more loyal than the Dinamo lot. I don't care how much you Dinamo people try to harp on about it or claim otherwise...

What a joke. Honestly, I’d be embarrassed if some Yankees or Mets fans stumbled upon this forum. They'll end up thinking we're all total morons.

And don't even get me started on those geniuses out in Brooklyn, Boise, or Savannah...

I actually called it—they finally set up a membership and officer division for the fans. They sent over the official contact numbers, but there’s a massive headache coming: we’ve got plenty of people from the Midwest and the Great Plains who split their time living down in Florida for part of the year, plus folks from Florida who spend most of their time up north. We have to crunch all those numbers and weed out the duplicates, so just sit tight until everything is officially posted. 😉

p.s. The local police department is being a real pain because none of the residency registrations are properly sorted out yet. ☕

analogheron19 said:Fine, since you're being so stubborn about it, here’s my rough breakdown of how the fanbases shake out:
The Midwest has more Black Knights fans, while the West Coast is mostly Red Bulls territory.
Guys from places like Kansas or Nebraska lean toward the Red Bulls, but the coastal areas stay loyal to the Black Knights.
People over in the Mountain West are mostly Black Knights fans, though a lot of them follow the big city teams too, if you catch my drift.😉 ☕

See? Even Zeba is finally seeing eye to eye with me.

Greetings, everyone... I’ve finally decided to join in on this mockery, though I certainly disapprove of the general atmosphere here. Still, after lurking for a few years, I felt a sudden urge to contribute something—even if it’s just to have something to laugh at while I read through the threads.☕

Honestly, if you look back at the last two or three seasons, you can find pretty much anything you want in the Black Knights stands except for their actual jerseys. Does anyone actually have a clue why that is?😁?
