Official Back From Chicago Thread

[Shaughno]

I see how it is eh.. us North Enders smell or something?

Yes, you smell. Actually I do believe Pedro said he never wanted to move the group to the south end if he was able to.

Naw I dont think we would.. I was just being finickery

[Kevvv]

the announcers at the begining of the FSC broadcast mentioned something going on during the anthems. do you know what that was about?

The issue with the anthem was that we were noisy when the US one started. The reason we were noisy was to get our section to remove their hats. Fire fans may have thought we were being dicks, because you could barely hear their anthem. But as was said, we picked it up from “rockets red glare,” more or less.

No, but 16+16 more than meets the qualifications.

Basic math, 22 goes into 44 more than 44 goes into 22.

Some people literally couldn't believe we travelled so far for a "sawwwwker" game

Unfortunately, US and Canadian customs agents are amongst the non-believers.

[Mrs. Workie]

ESP on Forza having them cooperate with us like that is simply amazing...

We could hear this loud and clear on TV- amazing guys!

You sir, are a mean little leprechaun.

[Shaughno]

Yeah.. but I shit it out this morning.

Yeah it was cool Mel you missed... and were missed down there. TRN really got some respect from me for their efforts down there.. Instead of the usual Tink Tonk Tink...

Guys (and gals)
I couldn't make the trip..and haven't been able to access the board all weekend but this thread. which I am reading at work is one of the funniest f****ng things I have read.
Nice job

[masrawy]

Big fuck you goes to everyone that thinks organization doesn't work. We just topped Montreal, by doing what, improving the organization in the stands.

It was funny to see some "supporters" sulking and bitching about the chants while the "tourists" were shouting their heads off. I take back what I said last week about the people I used to call casuals, there are still a few out there that we can reach out to.

Shaughno, you killed it on that drum. That was the funnest time I've had in the stands ever. Deniz, if you people want to see what support is about, look at this dude, I don't think he saw more than one minute of the match, back turned to the pitch and ensuring the crowd was going the whole 90, the way it should be done. Flush took over as capo for the top half, did a great job, it was also good to finally meet your bros. Big shout out to TRN, I take back everything I said about them, solid group of guys, and the sound they bring is awesome.

BC and Barbarez, wish I could have chilled out with you guys later at night, they wouldn't let my sister into the bar so I had to dop back to the hotel. Next time.

And just incase you missed it:

Quickly... we were in row 12, seats 9&10. Girl in row 11 ate a bottle to the head from the bald fire fan who was calling us all on. We didn't go right after him, but after another bottle came in, bottles were sent back in return. This just escalated until the fight(s) broke out.

-100 points to the "security" at the stadium, what a fucking joke. Way to watch bottles fly and not make the least bit of effort to do anything.

Sometimes you need to protect the people you're with, and this was a case of exactly that. I'll sum the incident up by saying yes, we agitated the shit out of the Chicago ("fuck chicago, fuck fuck chicago" for example, or the thunderstick one... (which was gold btw) ), but we DID NOT instigate. There is a fine line between the two and we walked it with the best.

If we're going to talk about it, this is good.

And this is bad

Did you guys teach those Fire fans?

kthxbye.

[masrawy]

Just a little thing.

Couple of us NEE who paid for the shuttle bus to and from the stadium couldn't get on one on the way back. All of them were full, assuming a bunch of people who didn't pay got on. One bus had space, we get to the door, some RPB in the first seat told us we can't get in, only the people behind us could (who were RPB). I nearly got into it with the dude. Anyways, we were lucky one member brought a van over, else we would have been stuck in the middle of no where.

Just something to remember next time.

I was in row 2 and had B&W facing me the whole night. You are right it is amazing. I can vouch that he could not have seen more than 2 minutes of the game. I just wish my voice could go 90 minutes. Damn thing was shot after 45.

Not sure what's up with the code in the second vid...

Dude, mad props all over. Amazing support, best yet by far. Having Big Red right beside you was KEY. Made the second half somehow more enjoyable than the first.

And I fucking LOVE that chant.

and to those who said a Capo was not a good idea, if you enjoyed the support in Shitcago, you enjoyed a capo. Thanks D.

Having capos was awesome. It really really cleaned things up once people figured out what was going on

[The Professor]

Now that the system is back up and running - here are a few highlights from the tailgate, the march in, and the game.

[Ryan1984]

my favorite part of the game was when they brought the dog out to run around the field and some guys were chanting kill the fu*king dog. seeing the look on the faces of the fire fans was priceless
