Des Moines, IA - Splitter supporters group Paul’s Boutique announced, today, that they were splitting from the splinter group 125 Casuals that formed from other dissident members of the Des Moines Football Club supporters group South Stand Ultras as the sub-sub group lambasted the group’s group stating it has, “become everything we fought against.”
“I didn’t intentionally form a group of friends in one section of the stands that somewhat came from another group of friends in a larger portion of the stands to combat the original group of friends with a non-social, non-dues paying ultras collective to have it become the status quo responsible for the quiet death of the supporters group culture in the stands,” stated Paul’s Boutique member Ezra Hastings. “This was supposed to be the group that was loud and rowdy and instead we are having online meetings about chant sheets!”
Hastings split off the 125 Casuals from the South Stand Ultras due to their perceived lack of action on gameday as he attempted to create a unified front of people who, “want to be loud without all the drama.” However, he quickly realized that the politics and organization of the splinter group were too much like the parent group and so he started a splitter group off the splinter group that would allow him to take back control.
“The ultras were just not listening to those of us who want to push things,” stated Hastings. “And the Casuals were too much like the Ultras in the end. I’ll keep organizing sub-sub-sub groups until we are all lighting off flares with the giddy fervor of a Balkan terrace or I burn out and stay at home complaining about the people that won’t listen to me.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hastings creates a new twitter account to announce that he is leaving his old twitter account as it has too many followers and has gone corporate.
