Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Look, I know how it goes. Back in 2005 or 2006, you had guys leading the chants at the big games when they were barely even old enough to drive—maybe 17 or 18 years old—but honestly, times have changed since then.
I was actually one of the first people pushing for some of the younger crowd to step up and take charge of the chanting, both here and away, but from what I can see, nothing's really coming of it.

John Perez13 said:Look, feel free to share your thoughts, but before you start throwing around labels like "we aren't a group anymore, we're just a bunch of party animals," you probably need at least ten years of experience in the stands. You have to actually know this group from its early days back in the 80s to make an objective call like that. Otherwise, you end up looking silly. You say you "heard" the 06/07 season was "insane"... you can't make definitive claims based on hearsay. If you did, someone just a few years older than you who actually lived through 2005 or 2006 might tell you that in '07—your "insane" year—we actually suffered our toughest loss against Bielefeld since the group started, or how we used to travel in single vans out of Miami, or how we were never even heard at Yankee Stadium. And as for that Yankee Stadium mention, honestly, it's been completely ruined. If I showed you a photo of a different section from that same game, you’d see exactly what your "party animal" crowd looks like. 😉

The Ultras are currently right up there with the top clubs in Europe , but only if we stay SOLID and Unite as one !! The Red Army is only as strong as all our subgroups and the main core combined !!! Even the world's strongest army is useless if it's fractured ! ☕

I respect the passion, but this is total nonsense to me. Whether you're angry or not, talking about "dead rivals"—what does the Ultras have right now that others don't? What specific strength do we have that puts us at the top of Europe? If you're going to claim it, give me some actual arguments. Right now, we lack exactly what Due Leggi recently pointed out; until we fix that, we shouldn't be comparing ourselves to the best!

...you could watch this video a hundred times if you really wanted to, but I think you should just watch it once and come to your own conclusions
