Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

I just have one question for Gademz. Was that flare show coordinated with the administration—you know, the cops? It felt like it was for an anniversary.

The Flare Show was to mark October 4th, the date of the city takeover. There wasn't any special deal made. Usually, when we mark these things, the police and officers leave us alone. They didn't touch us then, and they won't now. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of the takeover, and just because of one flare, one of our guys gets a year-long ban. Honestly, the local SWAT teams are some of the worst when it comes to this stuff. You can see it by how nonchalantly people hold flares in the stands. For context, we've only had 19 flares lit in 19 years since the takeover.

Larry Ramirez's question isn't even worth a response. When you consider that we're sitting near the bottom of the standings, haven't beaten anyone in six months, and are fighting every week just to keep the club from being liquidated, a group of 25 people isn't a joke.

I also have to give credit to the Black Knights for their incredible messages against the USSF; they wouldn't even let us post ours. And the fan solidarity at the end was great—singing "USSF bastards, you screwed over Savannah" and the joint chanting against the gangs.

The Gademz crew showed up in massive numbers, because even though Kohorta is basically just a mid-tier group here in America, they brought about 40 people, while the Boys and the Armada were the ones really showing out with over a hundred heads... then you had the Demons, some of those ultras 40 types, the tornado 30-40 crowd, and the funcut guys acting similar too...

Honestly, if you look at like 90 percent of the groups in the US, you see something similar to the ultras Mostar, who basically own their corner of a 60,000-person city, and back when away games were actually allowed, they'd show up in slightly smaller numbers than the two top-tier groups on par with the lešinar... but at home, their numbers are right up there with the Armada or Kohorta, and realistically, if Herzegovina ever joined up with the US, they’d be considered three distinct groups, it's just that our whole scene has kind of slumped lately... we had a couple of big derbies in the last two or three weeks so things looked pretty intense and cool, but let's be real, we all know this is just a temporary spike...

A goal and some flares

Larry Campbell33 said:The Gademz showed up in force. The Kohorta group, which is usually a tier-three group here in America, brought about 40 people. Only the Boysi and the Armada turned up with over a hundred members. Then you have the Demons, similar to the Gademz, along with Ultras 40, Tornado 30-40, and the Funcuts, who were roughly the same size.

About 90 percent of the groups in America are like Ultras Mostar. They control a section of a city of about 60,000 people. Back when away games were actually allowed, their turnout was slightly lower than the two top-tier groups on par with the Lešinars. At home games, they match the numbers of the Armada or Kohorta. Honestly, if Herzegovina ever joined America, they’d basically be three separate groups. Our scene has just shrunk. We had a few derbies over the last couple of weeks, so things looked good, but we all know this is just temporary.

There were about a hundred Funcuts during the first round. They arrived totally unorganized, carpooling in vans and stuff.☕

You've got a point there, honestly... I feel like I've been totally out of the loop for a whole year...

Larry Campbell33 said:Fair point. I actually took a year off myself.

It’s not even the main issue here. I see people attacking Gademz for no reason. Those guys are totally fine. They dropped out of the league, but they still managed to pull together a group of about 20 people for those away games in Cincinnati and Miami.

Nisan mentioned that a massive crowd showed up in Indianapolis just because of the flares, and honestly, even though it felt like a bit of a small show this time, I really can't tell if they’re bringing out as much heat as we are... but man, looking at the scene in Europe, they’ve definitely got to be in the top five for pyrotechnics...

Larry Campbell33 said:Nisan noted that a massive crowd gathered in Indianapolis specifically for the pyrotechnics—though, honestly, it was a bit of a letdown—and frankly, I have no clue who is actually lighting what among us. Still, if we’re talking about sheer scale, we’d probably rank in the top five across all of Europe.

The most brutal security sweep I’ve ever experienced at the entrance to Poljud—hands down.👎
