The Northern Guard Supporters are an independent supporters group for Detroit City FC (DCFC) of the National Premier Soccer League's (NPSL) Midwestern Conference. The Northern Guard have received national and international attention in the soccer community for their passionate and creative support in the stands at DCFC's home Cass Tech High School stadium that exceeds support traditionally associated with the fourth tier of soccer in the United States. The former commissioner of the NPSL, Michael Hitchcock, called the atmosphere created by the Northern Guard "One of my US Soccer highlights" and an "incredible experience." and Sean Spence, the editor of SB Nation's Chicago Fire () blog, wrote that "When association football takes over the USA...It will be because of ultras like the Northern Guard, Detroit City FC's rabid, profane, hilarious supporters group." == History == Founded in 2012 by brothers Gene and Ken Butcher, the Northern Guard brought drums, smoke bombs, flares and flags to the first-ever DCFC match to create an atmosphere similar to European supporter stands.〔 Over the course of two seasons, attendance in the supporters' stands at DCFC matches grew to fill the 800 person-capacity section and many more supporters began to bring their own drums, flags, smoke and costumes to add to the atmosphere. In June 2013, a pair of Northern Guard Supporters were married at midfield at halftime of a DCFC match. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northern Guard Supporters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
