Antwerp Locos dissolve themselves after flag theft: “We have the ultra-code, but we will come back stronger than ever” | Antwerp
The Antwerp Locos announced the news themselves on Saturday. “After our group, our trip ended badly,” it said in a statement. “Three of our boys came across a large delegation from Brigade Nassau during the night, when they returned with the flag in a taxi to the hotel. Here, after a fight that was impossible to win, our group’s banner was stolen.”
Ultra code
According to the Antwerp Locos, only one thing can happen. “When your group’s banner is stolen, according to the ultra code, you must stop. We have decided on this one, even if it concerns a waving flag and not to stop all activities such as Antwerp Loco’s with immediate effect and to dissolve the group of Antwerp Loco’s. We lose the loss of our waving flag just as much as the loss of a banner and therefore keep the credit to ourselves. This is a choice we made as a group with respect for the unwritten code. Not like they did on the other side of town. But our honor and pride have been hurt too much.”
We will always provide Den Bosuil and other stadiums with the biggest pyroshows in Belgium as we have done for the last four years.
Future
They don’t know what the future will bring. “We are now as a group considering what our future will look like and how we will fill it. In our hearts we will always remain Loco and we will never stop fighting against modern football and the great repression of the police and the club against us. We will always provide Den Bosuil and other stadiums with the biggest pyroshows in Belgium as we have done for the last four years. We want to thank everyone for their support from start to finish and we will come back stronger than ever.”
