A few people bailed before things even got started. Nobody knew if the outage was because they just ghosted us and cut the power, or if there was some random glitch... then someone pulls up their phone and sees online that the blackout was actually due to a power failure 🤣

This is spot on. Back in Savannah, everyone was united, singing against the USSF mafia... 🙏

We need to pull something together, across all the stands...

Maybe like that time when we were down in Seattle...

Look, man, you really need to make up your mind. Are you just going to spend 24/7 talking trash about us, or are you actually going to act like a decent human being and help us get something moving together? 🙂🙂

Fourteen years of systematic destruction and rigged games, all under your watch—that’s the peak of your administration. Markovic is finally out. And when the power cut, people just lit up their lighters and started singing. Now it's goodbye to this whole mess along with those bastards.

👍
You guys couldn't see anything, but over on the south side, someone was flashing a flashlight. 😁
They wouldn't let us bring our signs in, and security was being extra aggressive too—total joke. Btw, props to the electrician. 🤣

You probably missed it, but back down south, even the guard was flashing his flashlight around at the time 😁
They wouldn't let us sneak our messages in, and the security detail was being such a pain in the neck you could practically eat them... Anyway, hats off to the electrician 🤣

Look, Julia can't handle my flares, smoke, or those cannon setups... If you want to run a unified section, you need the right gear. We’re going full Pyrotechnics on this one

We really ought to coordinate something across all the stands...

Maybe something like that circle we did when we were in Seattle...

Man, what happened in Savannah was freaking insane.

Top tier stuff in Europe.

Look, I'm all for different perspectives, but I don't get the point of having groups of like five people. Not trying to be an asshole here, but how does it feel when only five of you show up in Miami or LA? Do you actually think you're a "group," or are you aware of how ridiculous it looks?

Do you genuinely walk around thinking you're some organized group, or are you self-aware enough to realize how ridiculous it looks?

That’s basically one of the better turnouts we see in Miami... what kind of question are you even asking here???

Hey man, 😍

I wasn't actually trying to offend anyone—but I just can't wrap my head around how a group of 5 or 10 people counts as an away following, especially when they're facing a crew where 2,000 people in the stands is the norm.
I mean, if you want to be considered an actual supporter group, there’s gotta be a minimum number, like 100 people or something. All this other stuff seems kinda stupid to me, at least personally...

Larry Ramirez said:Hey there.😍

I wasn't trying to offend anyone, really. But how is a group of five or ten people supposed to hold their own on an away trip? Especially when they're facing a crowd of 2,000 regulars in the stands.
Does a group actually count as a fan base if there aren't at least 100 people involved? All this other stuff seems a bit pointless to me. Or is it just me?

Where do you even live? We pull at least 100 people on average when we travel, and besides the Black Knights and the Boys, the Armada is the only group doing it.

So you think we should just stick to three groups? Because this whole thing makes zero sense, or is it just stupid? 🤷

Larry Ramirez said:Hello there.😍

I didn't intend to offend anyone, truly. But how can one reasonably expect a group of five or ten people to make an impact during an away game? Especially when they're facing a crowd where 2,000 supporters is the baseline.
In my view, for a collection of people to actually be considered a supporter group, there needs to be a minimum threshold, say 100 people. Anything less seems somewhat trivial, at least to me...

Something along the lines of "Like the BBB, I didn't mean to offend anyone, imagine..."😁. Surely those ten enthusiasts carry some level of "weight," wouldn't you agree?

Larry Ramirez said:Hey there, friend...😍

I truly didn't mean to offend anyone, but I just can't wrap my head around how a small group of five or ten people is supposed to make an impact on the road, especially when they're facing a crowd of 2,000 regulars in the stands...
I honestly feel that to be considered an actual supporter group, there needs to be a minimum threshold—say, at least 100 people. All this other stuff just seems a bit silly to me...

As much as I know about the fans... which is to say, nothing at all...
Just one thing I'm wondering about. A question for Gademz... was that flare show coordinated with the front office, specifically Murija? It felt like it might have been for a birthday celebration...

It isn't quite like that: everyone talks big, making these loud, empty proclamations. Then, in what they claim is a "million-person" city, you see maybe 500 ultras show up—just the BBB on the north side. Now this entire group is running their mouths about Gademz. If you multiply the populations of both cities by the number of fans, the percentage ends up being exactly the same. Honestly, stop acting like you know everything and quit trying to compare Sun Life Stadium to some absolute dump.

I’m not trying to be rude, but how does it actually feel when you show up in Miami or Los Angeles with only five guys? Do you really think of yourselves as a cohesive group, or are you aware of how ridiculous that looks?


First off, we aren't some tiny group of five; we usually travel with one or two vans per away game, so you're looking at anywhere from 12 to 25 people, and we actually had about 25 of us in Miami recently. When we play at home, there are usually between 50 and 70 of us. I mean, how am I supposed to feel when I head out on an away trip? I'm going there to support the club I love, right? If you find that funny, then I guess every single fan in America is a joke, because if that's the case, then everyone is just as ridiculous as you say. I can tell you for a fact that the Kohorta ultras have had times where they didn't even bother cheering in places like Savannah, maybe just showing up for a few flares or a quick funcut, or sometimes they don't show up at all.
And back when the first league started, we had up to 200 people at home games and 150 of us outside against Real Madrid, so unless you think that's also "ridiculous"—in which case, good for you—what are you implying, that the whole scene should just shut down?

PS. The Black Knights were great yesterday.

Larry Ramirez said:It’s not even funny, it’s just weird, you couldn't really pull off that kind of vibe if you tried.


I mean, what can I tell you? We just have our own way of doing things.

Man, those massive supporter groups out there have such deep-rooted histories they basically live and breathe that legacy, whereas we're kind of just finding our footing, aren't we? It's like we're all just regular fans at heart, except we don't really have that long tradition to lean on since things didn't truly kick into high gear until the professional league era started.

placidheron19;38865703 said:your 500 fans will never measure up to our 500, and you know why? it's because ever since '86, everyone's been calling you guys soft, which obviously trashed your reputation. honestly, your whole cheering style is just this unorganized mess that basically boils down to screaming "Real Madrid, Real Madrid, Real Madrid ala ala ala..." you guys never really had an identity, and you probably never will either. everything you know about being a supporter, you learned from the Black Knights—not just you, but the Red Army and the Gravediggers too. we were the first ones setting off pyrotechnics, the first to carry banners, the first to wave flags, and ultimately, the first ones to show up at away games everywhere.

that's pretty much the long and short of it...👍🙂
