“SATURDAYS HEROES” Nr 0 –
January 2012
"We provide you the first issue
of our magazine, addressed to the fans from around the world, interested in the
ultras / casuals / hooligans things. Our dream is to create a magazine on a
global scale, that is accessible and understandable for fans in all countries!
We certainly intend to write about all the countries, in which organized fans
movement exists. We are not debutants in this area, as for over 10 years we
have been issuing monthly "To My Kibice" (“This is us, the fans”)
dedicated to Polish ultras and hooligans, and also, for over 8 years, a
quarterly magazine "To My Kibice Plus", which contains reports and
interesting facts about football fans from Europe and sometimes also from other
parts of the world. Now we go one step further, and will choose the most
interesting themes from both Polish magazines, add even more content and
present it to you in English!
Every corner of the world and
its ultra movement specificity will find it’s place in our magazine! Our ambition
is to contribute a little to popularize the traditional ultra style, despite
the trends of modern football."

REPRESSIONS IN POLAND
against fans before Euro 2012
“(...)However, it all started
earlier, in 2003 and 2004, when there were two big fights involving football
fans. The scale of those events was huge and the authorities, for the first
time, got truly terrified. Polish stadiums have never been peaceful, on the
contrary, in the 90’s fights and demolishing were on a daily basis. But when in
the spring of 2003, before the Slask Wroclaw-Arka Gdynia game, two huge firms
clashed on the main street of the city (there was about 800 hooligans involved
in this brawl, one of Arka fans was stabbed to death), and a year later, during
the match Ruch Chorzow-LKS Lodz, perfectly organized hooliganism with sticks
threw out numerous police forces from the stadium (the coppers had shotguns,
but they didn’t help) the government finally understood, that something has to
be done. Soon, first major repression and arrests began, and the hooligans
began to descend to the underworld (...)”
ULTRA – SCENE IN BULGARIA
Bulgarian realities, firms review, summary of
the season in Bulgaria!
“(...)In Plovdiv, the second
largest city of the country, there is also the rivalry between two powerful
teams: Botev and Lokomotiv. The potential of these firms is based in 99% on
guys from the city of Plovdiv, the clubs have only few fan clubs. Botev has a
very large group of fans, even though the inept actions of the President made
the club bankrupt and for more than two years they wander through the lower
leagues. Supporters, however, excellently present themselves in the stands. The
main groups of Botev are “Ludata Banda”, “Izgrev Boys”, “Brigada Trakia” and
“Bunta Sever”. Botev fans get on well with the famous Aris Thessaloniki firm,
“Super 3”(...)”
FANS’ SCENE IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY
“(...)Sport has always been
very important in the Basque tradition, but tough mountaineers preferred the
traditional Basque pelota (something like a combination of tennis, hockey and
cricket) from "foreign" sports. Eventually, the British sailors and
traders managed to infect the Basques with love to football and rugby.
Today, certainly, all major
Basque clubs in the play in the Spanish leagues. There is also a national team
of Euskadi (Basque Country), which enjoys great support from fans from all over
the country regardless of club colours they represent(...)”
INTERVIEW: “ITALY - A PARADISE FOR FOOTBALL
TOURISTS”
In the 90’s, Italy truly was a
paradise for football tourists. Impressive choreos, spectacular pyro shows and
a lot of hooligans’ actions. Today we speak with Rene from East Germany, who
often travelled to Italy in the 90’s. Altogether, he attended there in 156
games and was an eyewitness to the development and decline of Italian ultras
scene. He will tell us, among other, how difficult it was to get by train to
south Italy and betray us, which matches he remembers best.
AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL: SITUATION IN ROMANIA
“(...)A new law was issued by
the government. A few sanctions from this law:
Prison for any pyro: "The
attempt to enter, to have, to prepare or to use any pyro inside
the stadium will be punished
from 2 to 5 years of jail"
Prison for the attempt to
enter on the pitch(...)”
WKS ŚLĄSK WROCLAW – THE EUROPEAN TRAIL 2011
“(...)The times when they were
mentioned among the three best groups in the country passed long time ago-it
was around 1995. Since then, they had ups and downs, but recently, fans from
Wroclaw, look quite good, both in terms of numbers and cheering. Neither the
club not the fans are known in Europe because for the last time Ślask played in
European cups … in 1987! And finally, after so many years of waiting, in 2011
they returned to an international competition. This fact raised among fans from
Wroclaw understandable mobilization, and their European adventure lasted for
three rounds. All the matches were interesting in terms of fans, as you'll read
in the following relations of fan from Wrocław(...)”
Reports from Slask games in
Europa League against Dundee United, Lokomotiv Sofia and Rapid Bucharest!
LEGIA WARSAW – THE EUROPEAN TRAIL 2011
(...)After leaving the train,
Poles were attacked by fans of Spartak. Russian began to whistle and throw
coins at them, after the Legionnaires began to sing their traditional
“away-game” song “We are always there ...” While leaving the tube station,
Poles found themselves in serious trouble, as they were attacked by Russians,
according to witnesses: a good few hundred Russians. Fortunately for the
guests, attackers failed to break through a strong police escort. Some of Poles
have admitted, that if the locals were more determined, that fight could be very
serious(...).
