Reddit mentions of A Massive Season: Sirk's Notebook chronicles the 2008 Columbus Crew

• We were the first MLS team.
  
  
• We hate DC for knocking us out in the playoffs a lot.
  
  
• We hate TFC because their fans are assholes who riot in our stadium when they loose.
  
  
• We hate Chicago because they're fart faces.
  
  
• "Massive" is our tagline, the Crew's website has a pretty good write up on it here.
  
  
  
• Steve Sirk's "A Massive Season" is a good book.
  
  
• Our stadium is typically where the USMNT chooses to play their biggest home games.
  
  A very brief list of team legends include (but are certainly not limited to):
  
  
• Frankie Hejduk - captain of the championship team, awesome guy. Currently the Crew's "Brand Ambassador". You'll probably see him in the stands/tailgates if you come to a game.
  
  
• Robert Warzycha - Great player. Bad coach, but great player and definitely a legend.
  
  
• Brian McBride - Number one overall pick of the MLS inaugural draft and very much deserved it.
  
  
• Guillermo Barros Schelotto - The man, the legend, the god. Amazing player, league MVP during our championship season. I still contend that he is the best player MLS has seen (obviously not as an entire career, but the best player while they were playing in MLS).
  

The story behind that dates back to before the Nordecke section was formed. Each of the three groups were in different parts of the stadium: HSH was in the old north end, La Turbina was much smaller and was in the NE corner sometimes and Crew Union was in 103 on the east endline.

When the stage was built prior to the 2008 season the groups met and decided it would be worth a shot to stand together in the NE corner of the stadium. There's a whole chapter on Crew supporters in Steve Sirk's book about the 2008 season that has a lot more history including old groups like The Contractors, NorthEnders and V-Army.

To expand on the three groups, as Metelteeth said:

Crew Supporters Union Oldest group of the bunch having been the remains of what was once V-Army. Also tends to be more young professional, but has a wide range of ages overall. Does a lot of fundraising for MidOhio Foodbank as part of it's not-for-profit status. Hosts large tailgates prematch. Known for throwing large parties like the Crew-Newcastle Supporters party last week.

La Turbina Amarilla (The Yellow Turbine) is largely latino. Mostly El Salvadorians and Mexicans with a healthy dose of other nationalities including a growing number of caucasians who just enjoy the drumming aspect of the group.

Hudson Street Hooligans Have a private club/bar owned by original members of the group where members go pre and post match. The "edgiest" of the three groups. Draws a lot of it's membership from Ohio State students.

There have been speed bumps here and there, but for the most part the groups get along well on match days. The largest chunk of the Nordecke is possibly independents who don't have a group affiliation.
