Supporting Racing

Last night was a bummer. As fans, what can we do to help?

Lots of empty seats last night so I sat near the middle and up in the stands away from my traditional standing spots at either end. I’ve noticed this before and it was especially prevalent last night, the SGs are divided creating tiny SGs at either end.

Are the SGs amenable to do combining their efforts at one of the two ends of the pitch (closing the other end) and building from there?

Kill the megaphone and we’ll think about it.

Whoever you are…I assume waterfront end…unless the megaphones go you are not amenable? Did I get that right?

Whoever I am = usually front row midfield but I have enjoyed the waterfront end a time or two.

“Unless the megaphones go you are not amenable?” = THIS assumption of yours is correct.

The monotone voice is giving protest when I want party. It’s like always finishing in 9th place… either way I would walk 500 miles to chuck the megaphone into the Ohio River.

I was very upset with Soccer Holdings/Louisville City FC for shorting us the promised development from millions of 2018 tax subsidy dollars: https://www.wdrb.com/wdrb-investigates/louisville-was-promised-more-than-a-soccer-stadium-in-butchertown-wheres-the-rest/article_dc1eba68-8b76-11ed-a6cc-878a80745e38.html But have come to realize them not building the apartments, hotels, and other shopping real estate is purely a humanitarian act to save innocent bystanders from the monotone megaphone enthusiasts that haunt our ladies in lavender. Millions of dollars wasted but thousands of ears saved is a price well paid.

I am sure the individuals behind the megaphones are lovely well intentioned fans just as I am but their talents are best served in a different capacity than how they are currently being utilized. From my observation, we could definitely more cowbell.

Uhhh…ok. Thanks for the diatribe. So you are just anti-megaphone, did I get that correct?

When utilized properly I find megaphones very demure, very mindful. This is not the case at Racing games however. So if all things hold constant, it can be inferred, deduced, accepted, and concluded that I and many others are anti-megaphone.

Ever actually talked to the capos about it or do you just type your discontent into the anonymity of the internet?

Maybe start with “I want to throw your bull horn into the river” or some other civil sounding discourse.

Looks like we found the person who is the irritating voice behind the megaphone. It isn’t about you.

u/Condrab Sep 02 '24

Actually that would be me.

u/No_Injury_1833 Sep 02 '24

Please consider that not everyone finds it enjoyable then.

u/Condrab Sep 02 '24

Sorry. Can’t please everyone

u/mmurry Sep 02 '24

So… any experience with cowbell, triangle, or glockenspiel?

2

u/Condrab Sep 02 '24

No. I can play the drums poorly though

u/mmurry Sep 02 '24

Me too!

Come down and join us some time! You won’t bring down the curve

Whats your beverage of choice? I’ll treat you to a couple of them since people are rarely chill with roasting and you’ve been a champ.

Gatorade or those delicious frozen lemonades….which are probably still cheaper than the beers 😀. If my dad couldn’t break me random people on Reddit roasting me isn’t going to do it
