They were to be found and known in every game of the MVV for causing trouble at every opportunity. Because of increased Dutch legislation concerning hooligans in stadiums and the poor performance of the team, the fan group is now considered tamed. Due to the sporting failures it was also financially bad for the club. In 2003, therefore, was discussed at Maastricht Town Hall on the municipal bond. Mayor Leers wanted to end financial support for the football club, which would have had the bankruptcy of MVV result. Numerous club supporters gathered then around the town hall, threw bottles and stones and tried to partially penetrate into the building.
