[edit] Disambiguation Page?

I think there should be a disambiguation page to decipher this page and Sons of Ben. -OKTerrific

Look. There are enough bots out there screwing up Wikipedia pages without people using the infinite power of veto to silence what is a great group of people. If I find out who is messing up this page, I will get the Duke, Lee Marvin, Sam Peckinpaugh, and the Barra Brava to come after you.

[edit] Citations are a joke

Using citations from the British media calling this group "raucous and rowdy" is a complete joke when any reader of BigSoccer knows that a bunch of members of "Sons of Ben" were expelled from the group because the founder's wife was offended. Some fat guy painted his chest and took his shirt off. and for that he and a bunch of his friends were expelled from the group--any soccer supporters club should be ashamed for that sort of attitude, and they are obviously talking out both sides of their ass for claiming they are "raucous and rowdy" while being offended by guys who are so inoffensive that they were never even asked to leave by the Spectrum employees.

Obviously you weren't there because your info is clearly second hand and sad. Was anyone ever expelled? No. Were we rowdy that day? No. Was anybody's chest painted? No. Liar. Bryanjames76 (talk) 12:56, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Relevant/Notable/Important?

Is this page even notable? How is a fan club worthy of an encyclopedia entry, especially a MLS fan club? MLS fans are so small in number in America and the fan clubs are an even smaller fraction of that group.130.127.3.249 (talk) 18:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)JML
