I took both my parents to a game this year, one was without them and one with, the experience is noticeable.
I managed to get $30 tickets to section 114 for the Canadian championship.
- a lot of fair weather fans, a lot of parents and young kids, and a huge gap between both leaders.
We stood beside 4 guys from inebriatti, this one was pretty loud, he did sing over the dichio chant which I didn't appreciate. He also threw his beer up when the first goal happened ( not 17s trick). Beer landed on these non supporter fans, one was a lady who was dressed way to nice to be in the supporters,beer also hit this guy in front of them- some cross fit dude. Turned around to the dude who threw the beer and said, " you're gonna get your ass kicked"
A person like that is not needed, but his friend was cool.
My point- after giving it time, huge differences in the atmosphere.
The Viking clap has been uber terrible lately. I get going early than the 70th that it has been for the past two years. I seen girls drum during the chant , barely striking the drum1 with force. The pace has been stupid as well, either same amount of time between claps, or way too fast.
Last night, I thought the first 15ms the south was rocking, i sit 207 row 12 almost dead center, and was obviously chanting, most picked up the claps which was great.
After 15m, the supporters fizzled out hard, very noticeable.
Even after the first goal they went quiet, where as the innebriatti would get louder after a goal conceded.
Tried to be as objective as possible.
Also will say the innebriatti, did give me a memorable moment in the finals, as well as dancing on the street after the cup win and even chanting and singing outside the tunnel to liberty.
I only hope somehow we can create a new group and have guidelines to keep them in check.
