Hapoel Tel Aviv Fan Group to Halt Organized Support After Derby
The Hard Block, an organized fan group for Hapoel Tel Aviv, announced it will cease its organized activities after the upcoming derby match later this month. In a statement released on Friday, the group explained that they have been working for over a year to unify the fan base and bring everyone back to the stadium. However, they feel the club has not taken significant steps to facilitate this return.
The Hard Block stated that while they will continue to attend games as individual supporters, their organized cheering, flag-waving, and drumming will stop after the September 17th derby. They expressed their intention to return to the stands as regular fans, placing the ball back in the club's management's court.
The group urged the club's management to work towards healing divisions within the fan community and called on all fans to prioritize Hapoel Tel Aviv above all else. The announcement comes amid ongoing efforts to foster a stronger connection between the club and its supporters.
