Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

The scene just isn't there anymore. It’s all getting too close—the whole system is gearing up for a confrontation in Boston?!?!? Does that mean this group did everything in their power just to steer clear of the Chicago Blackhawks fans on their way there?!?!? The Boys weren't even in California, but I suppose they have much bigger fish to fry elsewhere.

So, you're telling me that group did everything in their power just to stay clear of the Chicago Blackhawks fans on the way there?!?!? The Boys weren't even in California to begin with, but I guess they have more pressing issues to deal with than that.

The Boys were doing their best to dodge any ambushes, but in the end, most of them got caught and spent the rest of the match being interrogated by the authorities. From what I’m hearing, a portion of the group managed to push further past Karlovačka County, though I haven't heard exactly how far they actually made it.

Frank Sanchez37 said:Alright, look, I believe you, but why on earth aren't you guys filming it while you're being arrested? Everyone carries a smartphone these days; snapping a quick photo isn't exactly rocket science. Get those shots into the news, send out emails, put it in a press release—surely something will catch on. If we have to document and broadcast every instance of this happening, then let's just do it. Everyone is already aware of how you're being targeted, so I don't see any harm in pushing that narrative out there for everyone else to see.

Honestly, people couldn't care less about two guys getting shot in a hospital, and they certainly won't give a damn about people being arrested without cause. We'll see tomorrow how much anyone actually cares.

Let's not drift too far off-topic.

Honestly, can we all just drop this damn bickering for five minutes? Seriously, what is it to you how many people showed up to the Cup, or what we’re wearing in the stands, or what kind of gear we’ve got sitting in our online shop, or even who's grabbing vouchers and why... it's none of your business.

We should all probably find something more productive to focus on, both us and you guys... there's plenty of real work out there to be done if you actually want it.☕

It’s honestly surprising that someone hasn't had the bright idea yet that Ralph Lauren is basically a brand for thugs😁 😁 since the design on that specific shirt is one of theirs.

Why do guys in these photos always have such bizarre hairstyles?

Why don't the main Ultras groups, like the Red Army or the Fanatic, show up for any away games anymore?

stormyhawk5 said:Why don't the main Ultras groups—either the newer Red Army or the old-school Fanatic crew—show up for away games anymore?

Just trying to give this Ultras subforum something actually worth talking about. It’s getting boring. All we see are photos and some Expert giving us "technical analysis."
P.s. Take it easy, the rest of us are busy watching water polo in the chaos....

What’s the deal with the tickets for San Diego? Are they all held at the club, or did some stuff actually make it down to San Diego?

I have no idea if they’re holding anything back for game day—but I was at the cafe near the Stadium today (where they sell the tickets), and they told me the section behind the goal is already sold out. Apparently, they've designated the edge of the main grandstand—right next to the visiting fans—for the Los Angeles Dodgers supporters...

Look, it doesn't really matter if those tickets behind the goal are gone... I’ve managed to get in through that visiting sector quite a few times before using my blue pass, which is technically meant for this "home" side...
and that's happened more than once.

It matters that I have a ticket. I’m driving in from San Francisco tomorrow morning, and if there is any way to get onto the supporter section using tickets meant for other stands, that would be incredible.

Bradley Fisher18 said:The scene is dead!! It’s obvious—they're just trying to dodge the Ultras and stay out of sight. Basically, that whole group did everything they could just to avoid a run-in with the Red Army. The Boys weren't even in California, but hey, maybe they have bigger fish to fry?

The scene has been circling the drain since 2006, year after year.

"The whole brawl definitely kicked off because of that clash happening this afternoon over in Small Town, USA. Basically, a bunch of guys from that Software Company hanging out by the Era shopping mall ran into a group of Angelenos driving down toward San Diego, and things turned ugly fast when they started throwing rocks at them.

The cops caught wind of what car they were driving pretty quick and went on a high-speed chase through Savannah to track them down, eventually catching seven Savannah fans right at the Stadium. Because of that, those Angelenos decided to detour through Savannah on their way back from San Diego just to get some payback."

Man, calling that a brawl is a stretch... those idiots just chucked three rocks. And let's be real—I remember seeing them whining on the forums a year or two ago about how the Red Army was giving them grief. It’s all cyclical.
Eleven people were picked up by the cops, so they'll probably face bans for that many. I just really hope they can get through this without seeing the inside of a jail cell...

So what now?
Just sit at home in front of a computer and cry because those "good old days" are gone?

It was worth being born... get down and cover up... oh boy,,,here we go!,,,tougher than anything,,,Software Company with the Los Angeles Dodgers...
Beautiful Savannah, even more beautiful coastline...
Let's go, Ultras, bloom, Ultras!

In this sea of grayness within our fan scene, I decided to take my buddy from Norway to check out the "big city derby." As an experienced supporter, an Expert, and a total legend, I can tell you for sure: the Red Army showed everyone once again who really runs this town. If it weren't for those epic songs, the unique decor, and all the flares going off (hey, the boys gotta let loose when they can't be at their own place), nobody would even know a derby was happening. But since all good things must end, I gotta say—the Torcida still hasn't figured out how to pick a decent fence design.

http://s12.postimg.org/b6pxcvmu5/zadar_1.jpg

The banners were just tossed up carelessly; some were literally falling apart with holes in them (honestly, they’re so old and beat up they belong in a museum, not on a fence). It was your typical local vibe—a wild mix of tacky stuff and edgy caricatures. The absolute peak of bad taste? Those Riviera and Savannah banners. That specific pattern always makes me think of cheap swimsuits you'd find at a boardwalk stall (like .

I've said enough about the fence, so let's talk visuals. There was a sea of flags in the signature colors making for a cool backdrop, but man, the flags my buddy and I were waving smelled straight-up funky. Huge minus there—anyone who actually cares about themselves would give their flagpoles a deep scrub. If you guys keep being this unhygienic with your gear, that "Stronger Than Ebola" rag is gonna become nothing more than an urban legend. As for the flagpoles with the caricatures: the one with the grandpa in the Savannah cap and his signature mustache looks like a sign for some roadside diner serving the best lamb in the state. And that Frank Sinatra flag with the big white teeth sends such a loud message too. Both flags feel totally Southern—like they're saying, "We don't care if we're rednecks; we've got lamb, jugs of wine, and we're doing it just to spite you guys."

Besides the game, you guys dropped some new merch that I absolutely have to weigh in on.

I know you guys tried to make some casual shorts, but it looks like the designers and distributors are working against you. These are basically standard warehouse work pants—the kind you'd wear to load and unload pallets of soap and shampoo at a $6.75/hour job in some smoky, remote warehouse. Big fail!

Personally, this is one of the ugliest scarves I've seen. The "Most Loyal" side looks totally lame—it almost looks like something meant for the most hardcore Star Trek fans because the background pattern feels like a trip through space. The other side has that typical modern talk (Liberta per gli Ultras, free Morgan and Susan!), a real Ultras pattern. Basically, this scarf is something only some poser kids would buy, definitely not the "most loyal" among you.

Respectfully, your fan Expert, Flip!

you really just listed everything that could go wrong

Flip, just bring a friend along next time—otherwise, he’s going to end up facing a real beast instead of just dealing with gear that smells like her.🙂
