It appears fast-growing Galaxy fan group Angel City Brigade have had enough of the typically over-zealous Home Depot Center security after events they contend occurred at the recent derby with Chivas USA.

The group plans this event Saturday night when the Galaxy take on Real Salt Lake:

“In this demonstration of unity, the ACB requests that all of its members and guests wear a black shirt for this Saturday’s game along with a white shirt underneath (or separately) to wear for the second half of the game. The ACB will stay seated during the first half of the match. No songs or cheers will be heard from our group in order to prove the importance of our presence and the change of atmosphere in the Home Depot Center. At a designated time at the beginning of the second half, the black shirts will be requested to be taken off by our song leader. This transformation will allow everyone in the venue that evening to witness the impact that our group has on the atmosphere, the game and the overall Home Depot Center experience.

We ask you to spread the word and promote the cause by wearing black in the first half and our typical white in the second half. Please refrain from using any foul language or any form of aggressive behavior toward security staff (especially our faithful section 121 guards) and any other patron. Display the personable side of the ACB that attracts prospective members, take the higher road.”

The group apparently has a meeting scheduled with HDC management.

The protest is canceled. Received this e-mail earlier Friday evening from the ACB media rep:

“We had a wonderful meeting with Tim Martin and Tom Payne of the L.A. Galaxy. There will no longer be a “Rebel or Fan demonstration”.

We’re finally on the same page with L.A Galaxy Front office.”
