    Last month I was in the Canary Islands, and I met up with Armada Sur, the supporters group for CD Tenerife. When the subject of MLS comes up one fo the first things they ask me about is if I've heard of the Riot Squad and they mention that one of them has a LARS shirt, and describes the gask mask guy logo.

    Halfway around the world and I can't get away from you guys?!?! :eek: :D

    (They did tell me how the Galaxy and Tenerife have some kind of partner club agreement and one of their supporters joined you guys for a Galaxy match a few years ago, but I still found it funny that one of the first things they asked me about was LARS)

    Hahaha, that's awesome!

    Do you remember the name of the person you talked to?

    Years ago, an Armada Sur member named Andy was visiting LA with his girlfriend. He met with a few LARSers in Santa Monica and Hollywood and we exchanged soccer stuff, including LARS t-shirt, Galaxy scarf & jersey. I still have my Tenerife scarf and a jersey that has the Frente Blanca Azul logo on back (of which Armada Sur is a subgroup of).

    They live and still remember LARS. That's freaking cool.

    Great chant for you guys to cannibalise for LARS ends.

    "I went to ask old Bill Shankly,
    Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury
    He said no, i don't think so
    But I've heard of the Elland Road Ultras!

    Don't know the tune but it'd go well aimed at other big clubs fan clubs....

    I don't feel like registering for another message board for a one time post, but feel free to copy it over there if you want.

    And it wasn't Andy I talked to, but his name was mentioned as the person who had the shirt and had visited LA.
