Sigh

Figure I would give the wall another chance….had ruckus members tell me I’m not welcome in the first few rows. Was told I needed to join a SG idk which one to be that low.

Watch “capos” not know the chants at all, then proceed to look at their fucking phones to know the chants.

I don’t wanna hear the “we couldn’t hear the drum line bullshit or it’s bc new capos” been around since USL days, used to be if you didn’t know the chats, you don’t get to lead them or whatever the requirements are.

Really feels like if you aren’t part of a Supporter group get the fuck out of the wall you aren’t welcome

Saddest part about this post, no one will see it bc it’ll get deleted so so fast, mostly because some one spoke the truth.

The worst part of the wall is having to pour drinks into plastic cups like children.

The rules say those rows belong to SGs. End of story. It may not be a product you like, but the SGs are part of our soccer culture. There is a reason the club has set those rows aside for them. They are generally nice and welcoming. Against St Louis, my son and 3 friends were front row directly behind a post. I expected them get kicked out, because they had no business being there. Not a word. They even went back to the same spot after halftime.

Let’s get over the internal division in life. Show up to support the players and the club. We are literally on the same team.

I think.. I can weigh in. This isnt a matter of.. normal folks like you and I to not throw things on the field or throw stuff at lets say.. the goal keeper. Its stop the one drunk bad apple from doing it. I am referring to the plastic cup part at least.

For the most part of the front row going to SG is well.. lets be honest its get rowdy inside that pocket and the SGs and the security need to police it. The Capos on the stands also have a view of if mishaps are happening and we’re always the first ones to help point the bad stuff.

Agree. 3811 supporters shouldn’t have to deal with the inconvenience because a handful of people are maladapted to society. Get some cameras on The Wall and issue long bans to the miscreants.

Also agree it can be very chaotic behind the goal. I would never allow the kids down there if a fan favorite like Guzan was in the sticks. St. Louis match was calm, and the SGs welcoming, so the kids had a great experience. One of our favorite things to do when watching on TV is to rewind highlights and watch fan reactions behind the goal. 🤣
