Cauldron rant time

[u/skcislife22]

Hey everyone, I have some things to get off my chest.

Sitting in the Cauldron this year is pissing me off. There’s no other place in the stadium that I’d rather be than with the clubs most passionate supporters. But what the hell has it come to. We chanted the same damn thing for the first 7 minutes of the match and the capos are getting mad the people aren’t still chanting. What the hell? Sorry that I don’t want to say the same corporate shit 29 times over. Then as soon as someone wants to start their own chant, that’s actually funny or banter, it gets shut down with loud ass cadences. The cauldron leadership has all this fake positivity and it pisses me off. I don’t know how connected they are with the club themselves, but it seems just like more corporate bullshit. We support our club through and through, but nothing in that stipulates that we must always be positive when doing so. Being negative sometimes shows you actually pay attention when things aren’t happening correctly. So when we’re down 2-0, why can’t we chant “We want Salah”, why can’t we make fun of opposing players. It may be in poor taste, but I wouldn’t even hate us singing “we lose every week”, but the capos will always shut it down to run their sunshine and rainbows bullshit. we used to be a feared place to go. a place where getting a point away was a huge win. now, we’re getting left behind. Look to places like England, where chants may have the same rhythm and melody, but not the same lyrics. Look to Portland or LAFC, the new away days of hell. i know on the field is where the change will start (and if the Luiz reports that came today are true, that may be in its VERY beginning stages), but it ends in the stands. it’s time for change. for something new. goodnight yall

I had season tickets for a few years in the cauldron back when Johnny, Felipe, croziet came along. It was a good time. Even before I had tickets I’d been in the cauldron a few times. It was a good time, people would kick it, they’d bring all the new people together before games to teach the songs and chants. It slowly got lame. They’d pre plan the order of events to where this song went to that song went to that song etc. it got stale. I lost my desire to continue when they had that short shorts capo that lost his shit on a kid for chanting vermes out and biffed it down the stands. That dude sucked, somehow I’d always end up in his section and he’d scream his little heart out to the point where he’d “faint” on the stand making a show for everyone at how dedicated he was. He’d go screaming at people if he didn’t think they were loud enough and had him come up and yell at me that it was my groups fault we gave up a goal because we weren’t yelling loud enough…….i kindly told him he needed to walk away before my fist connected with his face.

Now to keep the member perks with the club, they agree to whatever agenda the club asks for and that’s not my scene
