What kind of nonsense is this, suggesting the north stand will be $33 for Inter Milan? I pay for my subscription, but if this turns out to be true, they can honestly go to hell.

I don't get why everyone's making such a big deal out of it. Look, the club is already circling the drain and basically on life support... if people are suddenly too broke to cough up a little extra cash to help us survive, then fine, let it all burn...

Besides, you see guys at the bars before games like this dropping 400 bucks easily, $167 without even blinking...

Whatever, I’d actually charge even more. Let the derby fans foot the bill.

If you ask me, they should just set it at 500 bucks. Honestly, if someone claims to be a die-hard Hajduk Split fan but finds it hard to shell out $100 about 22 cents a day for a subscription to help our club through this mess, then they don't really deserve anything else, in my opinion.

We call ourselves fanatics and claim the whole Mediterranean Coast lives for Hajduk Split, yet we can't even pull together 5,000 subscriptions unless FC Barcelona is playing here—it's honestly pretty ridiculous and hypocritical. I guess we'll see how things go with these bonds, but based on what I've seen before, I suspect a lot of people will stick to that old pattern of swearing loyalty to the club while refusing to chip in even a single dollar.😁

If someone claims to be an ultra of Hajduk Split but finds it hard to cough up $100 a year (about 80 cents a day) for a subscription to help the club through this mess, then they don't deserve anything else, period.

We call ourselves fanatics and claim the entire Mediterranean Coast lives and breathes for Hajduk Split, yet we can't even pull together 5,000 subscriptions unless FC Barcelona happens to be playing here. It’s laughable and hypocritical. Honestly, I’m curious to see how things play out with these bonds; based on past experience, I suspect most people will stick to that old mantra: "They swear by Hajduk, but won't give them a single cent."😁

There you go, calling me a gambler just because I agree with you.

Personally, I’d be against changing the home field setup, but if the priority is strictly generating revenue, then I am all for maximizing ticket prices.

The North Stand should be at least $67 and the West Stand at least 500. That’s the only way I see any logic in changing the home match configuration.

Now, someone is inevitably going to say I've lost my mind. 😁

No. For this specific game, they’ll try to get people there who haven't stepped foot in Poljud Stadium in years, and we ought to charge them for it.

I’ve already stated that I have my subscription and I won’t be attending the match, because for me, it’s about that stretch of land between Pujanka and the hill.

Let’s recap my finances from the start of this season—not to brag, but to compare myself to a typical fan from the Mediterranean Coast for whom Hajduk Split is everything.

Paid $70 dollars for three memberships.

So far paid toward our Hajduk: $67 (there will be another 300 later).

Bought two subscriptions at $90 each (one more coming).

Travel costs for the Hajduk - 1200 dollars - Hajduk match: $67.

Travel costs for the California - Hajduk match: $63.

Travel costs for the 1200 dollars - Hajduk - Hajduk match: $400.

Total so far: $757, and the season has barely even started. 🤷

I'm against changing the seating layout, but if making money is the main goal, then yeah, crank those ticket prices up.

North stands should be cheap, but West? At least 500 bucks. That's the only way this whole reshuffle makes sense.$67
Someone’s gonna say I’ve lost it.
😁

Nah. For this game, they'll try to squeeze every cent out of the people who haven't stepped foot in Poljud Stadium in years. They need to pay up.

I already told them I have a membership and won't show up, since for me, the view between Pujanka and the hill is enough.

Let's recap my spending from the start of the season—not to brag, just to compare myself to a hardcore Hajduk Split fan from the Mediterranean Coast who lives for the club.

Paid $70 dollars for three memberships.

Total spent on our Hajduk Split so far: $67 (and there's another 300 coming).

Bought two season tickets at $90 each (one more on the way).

Travel costs for the Hajduk - Skonto match: $67.

Travel costs for the California - Hajduk match: $63.

Travel costs for the Skonto - Hajduk match: $400.

Grand total: $757, and the season just started. 🤷

What do you expect? You've seen plenty of different types of people.😁

🙄 What is there to tell? Who knocked out whom?

Whoever ended up on top, they know that much—and that’s enough. Who took the beating and who didn't... in a street fight, everyone walks away with a bloody head.

The city derby is this Sunday, and in less than a week, we have a massive club and a legendary group of supporters heading our way!

How on earth are we looking at a 1:1 draw? They were pressing you guys all day and night—they even snatched ten of your flags... let's try being realistic for once...

It’s pretty obvious you actually know what you’re talking about...

I was thinking St. Petersburg, not Riga...

video "brawls" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Lqt1Zg2lzyI

There was practically zero actual contact. 🤷

I honestly didn't expect this kind of "chaos" in the stands, given there aren't even that many people present.
If this was supposedly the peak of the action—as if anyone would actually travel ten hours from home just for this—🙄
then we should look at what happened in Russia, where the home team led 2-0 but still walked away with two fights and two lost flags.

A little skirmish with the police at the stadium, and in the end, the only real issue was eight guys being hauled off.

Robert Adams6 said:Is anyone actually watching this video of the fights? Seriously? I’ve been sitting here staring at the screen, trying to wrap my head around the sheer level of chaos on display. Is this what we’re calling entertainment now? It’s just mindless, senseless violence from start to finish. No nuance, no skill, just people swinging wildly because they clearly have nothing better to do with their lives. Does anyone else find this completely exhausting to watch? It feels like we're just descending further into a culture that rewards aggression over everything else. Why is this even being shared? What is the point? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Unknown

There is practically zero contact being made. Where is everyone? Why is the communication so non-existent? 🤷

I really didn't expect to run into these kinds of "issues" with the rig, especially since there aren't even that many lines to deal with. Why is this happening now?
If that was truly their peak, then what exactly are we looking at? Honestly, are there really people out there willing to endure a ten-hour trek just to see them perform?🙄)
Anyway, back in Russia, the score was already 2-0 in favor of the Russians on their home turf. They basically walked away with two wins and two losses. What else did you expect?

Clashes with the police at the stadium. At the end of the day, the only real fallout was eight troublemakers being hauled off by the cops.

Exactly...

I’m not moving an inch until the crowds start chanting "Canada, Canada!" and those folks actually decide to make their move. Why wait around? I won't budge until there's a real offensive underway. ☕

Look, if you want to wrap your head around this, you have to understand the specific mindset and deep-seated complexes held by Mexicans. It’s clearly bled over into the Russians too (though the Russians don't have an obsession with Americans, and they never will). Anyone who has even a basic understanding of the American sports scene knows how many times in the last twelve years Mexicans have followed American clubs or the national team all over Europe, even when our teams weren't even playing against theirs. At this point, it's just straight-up pathological.

If you find us so irritating, then stop commenting altogether.
It’s absurd that people feel entitled to critique contact scoring based on some sixty-second clip and their own personal theories on officiating...
Thanks for nothing.

If it wasn't for the Chicago Blackhawks fans, they would've been toast. 🤣
