I don't agree with the decision, but neither TR nor any other supporter group has much leverage or credibility because a few individuals can't follow simple directives, and it's going to get worse. A "petition" does little good when you are compiling it from the Chateau Bow Wow.Why the TR group don't organize a PETITION against this stupid decision of the NJRB ?
Back To Red Bull hatred. Seriously do they not expect these thousand people just to end up mixed in the crowd somewhere else and for more trouble ?
I suspect the theory is that limiting the number of people who are surrounded by like-thinking crowds will reduce the enthusiasm for bad behavior. It's also giving TR and the other groups added incentive to police their members (and I know they are working on it). Yes, they may end up spreading the NYCFC fans throughout the stadium, but they are limiting the degree to which people will egg each other on to behave poorly.
Yes but if more people are mixed together aren't we increasing the odds of some idiot starting a fight?
Here is what I have heard the deal is (for what it's worth). This particular sanction is from the Red Bulls. However, the league also is reviewing infractions from our fans both at home and away games and likely will issue additional sanctions to our supporters. Nice job by a few knuckleheads publicly embarrassing our fan base and team, and causing continuing repercussions for everyone, OVER SMOKE. And I'm afraid we are doomed, as the few cannot help themselves (comments by the few on various other forums make clear that they are either too stupid, too selfish or too immature, or all of the above, to stop). SMH
Twitter folks reporting sanctions from the league mean we're only getting 530 tickets in the official allotment, all in the back of sections 219 & 220.
Cause that'll prevent us from buying tickets mixed into the crowd, so it'll just be a mess.
Would like to start discussing ticketing plans asap.
Im staying home helping mls ratings amd avoiding thay mess getting back to Queens. I'll save my money and energy for Yankee Stadium games.
I agree. I was at the First RB Match and How they treat Us vs how we treat Them is ridiculous. All I ever see is there guys starting shit with us. Screw them I'm not going to give New Jersey United Presented by Red Bull GmbH another dollar. I'd rather help the MLS ratings and avoid the BS.
Apparently the MLS sanction email went out to Third Rail. Purportedly, for the next 4 away matches no tifos, instruments or large flags. I'm not Third Rail - just Facebook hearsay.
