VictoriaGooner Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have a funny feeling the I-4 rivalry will be coming to an end for the time being between Tampa Bay and Orlando City. I fully support the whole supporter group culture and creating an atmosphere at matches (including tifo, chants, songs, a little pyro doesn't hurt when used correctly) but there are always thugs and losers in SG who just want to ruin it for everyone. And unfortunately, the few ruined it for the many in The Ruckus. I see The Ruckus getting many home and travelling bans because of this stupidity last night. Here's hoping Orlando City SC and the NASL are swift with this in their actions. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Traveling bans? Oh, it's cute when you get all faux-British. There's really no such thing here. Hell, I'd be surprised if most teams could enforce a home ban. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

VictoriaGooner Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Actually there are travelling bans in North American soccer. San Jose's Ultras 1906 had a two match travelling ban earlier this season. As well, they had a one match home ban. And yes, clubs could enforce a home ban if they wanted to.Why the hatred toward using English football lingo?

Gothamite Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 As the president of a SG, albeit a brand-new one, the club could absolutely shut us out. They're reserving a section for us, they know who our members are (and which season-ticket accounts are associated with our members). We've already been consulted on behavior and told what the league will and won't allow. None of this nonsense even came up; they have more faith in us than the OC groups apparently deserve.

VictoriaGooner Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I too am the president of an independent SG and I follow Gotham's sentiment. My club would absolutely shut us out. Yes we are in the USL PDL but that's not an excuse. Just like Gotham's situation, my club has given us an entire supporters group section, they know who are the members because we are the most vocal group and we make up a large amount of season ticket holders. I know we have an open dialogue with the FO and I have brought up suggestions with tifo, pyro, smoke bombs (light versions). We have the ear of the owner and general manager as well as the coaching staff. Hell the owner of the club comes into our section all the time to sing and support his club. They fully support us because we bring that amazing atmosphere to the matches. And the players on the pitch love the passion we bring for them. But we know that if we up, we could face being shut out of even disbanded by the club. That is something that I nor any other SG member here in Victoria lose.

Gothamite Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah. If the Orlando fans are out of control, it's because Orlando City allows them to be. And they should be held accountable.

VictoriaGooner Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 1906 Ultras are the only Earthquakes SG that have acted anything like The Ruckus.

rams80 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 How about this. If you put "Ultras" in the stationary, you're banned. Instantly. There is no room in sports for the Ultra subculture.

I was really steamed at dbadefense1990 for calling out all Earthqaukes supporter groups as thugs. Ultras 1906 are a stain on Earthquakes fans unfortunately.

Norva Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The league will have to force Orlando City to rein in the morons.As they should.As someone who is excited about having an MLS team in my city next year, they better. It makes it really hard for me to root for this team sometimes. I know most OCSC fans are fine, but a few can spoil the whole bunch and I am sick of the attitude we have to deal with at the games. It's humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
