“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.

Check what you will find in the debut issue of our magazine (80 pages, full colour!):

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(...).

Wahnsinn....die Fotos schaun ja schon mal echt toll aus!

Respekt, ich glaube niemand kann auch nur erahnen, wieviel arbeit dahinter steckt.......mir sind mittlerweile schon die einzelnen Spielberichte zu blöd zu schreiben!

[rude27]

klingt sehr interessant, werde sicher ein paar nehmen!

finds super dass sich Leute immer noch die Mühe für solche Heftln geben. ich weiß was es heisst sowas zu erstellen, das ist ein rießen Aufwand. Wenn ich es gelesen hab, gibts natürlich ein fettes Feedback.

[Chris_SKV]

Sieht sehr sehr verlockend aus! Respekt!

Einziger Nachteil für mich: Alles ist in Englisch verfasst.

Aber ich denke, dass meine "English-Skills" doch ausreichen werden, um dieses Fanzine lesen zu können. ^^

[Wien Favoriten]

Heftl erstellen ist zwar anstrengend, macht aber auch Spaß mMn. Und wenn man dann das Ergebnis sieht weiß man, das sich die Arbeit gelohnt hat

“SATURDAYS HEROES” Nr 1 – April 2012

We provide you the newest issue of our magazine, addressed to the fans from around the world, interested in the ultras/casuals/hooligans things. Check what you will find in the newest issue of “Saturdays Heroes” (80 pages, full colour!):

BEAST FROM THE EAST

History of Polish hooligan movement!

“(...)In such conditions of increasing level of aggression, in the 90’s, a modern hooligan movement was born at stadiums in Poland. While fans from many European countries drew inspiration from the Italian “ultra” style, Poles were fascinated by the hard, violent, English style. "Hooligans" captured the stadiums! Many fans/hooligans were also skinheads, so heavy Doc Martens, bald heads and flyer jackets (often reversed on the orange side) dominated the sectors of most ardent fans in those times. (...) Fights usually broke out at the terraces, but hooligans were also arranging numerous ambushes on a opposing group traveling by train (which was the primary mean of transport to away games). Typically, a train with hostile fans was boarded by a “kamikaze”, who at the agreed place pulled the emergency brake. Train stopped, and then hooligans lurking nearby, began the attack. As a rule, they firstly threw stones and smashed most windows in the carriages, then tried to get on the train (if the victims panicked, it was very easy to beat them practically without losses) (...)”.

(Huge article – 20 pages (!) with 54 bloody photos from 1995-2010!)

5 INTERESTING INTERVIEWS:

TORCIDA – A BRAZILIAN WAY OF SUPPORT

We talk with the Brazilian Gabriel Uchida, football fan, journalist and terrace-photographer, enthusiast of spontaneous, Brazilian ultra movement. This interview is decorated by phenomenal photographs, made by Gabriel. You have to read, especially if you want to learn more about Brazilian football fans!

“ULTRAS RAPID” PROBLEMS

After last year's derby of Vienna, unfinished due to the massive invasion of RAPID fans onto the pitch, the ultras of this club had a hard time. Firstly, "Ultras RAPID" suspended their activity, but in the spring 2012 they returned to the stadium. Oliver, a long term leader of the “Ultras RAPID” group, tells us about the current situation of RAPID Vienna fans.

“ZABRANJENI” - PARTIZAN BELGRADE

“(...)It all started at the beginning of second round of last season, we couldn’t accept some things and finally our revolt started. Alcatraz used to cooperate with police (...) We would like to bring the old school climates at the South Stand, no pussies, but brother next to brother, one for all and all for one. Since the conflict has began, there is less and less people in our once glorious section.(...)”

ZALGIRIS VILNIUS “PIETU IV” - “FAITH THAT SURVIVED”

The oldest and largest ultra group in Lithuania is "Pietu IV". It exists for 27 years now, and actually the first fans in green and white scarves appeared in the stands even earlier, in 1980. We present a conversation with Storas, the undisputed leader of the firm, a witness, and later an active participant in its development from inception until today. The conversation starts in the days of the Soviet Union, when the history of “Pietu IV” began...

LADS `82 - DINAMO MINSK

“(...)L82 was established in 2004, following merging of the firms "Patriots" and "Capitals Legion", at the same time it was also joined by many new boys. At the beginning we were oriented to compete with firms from Europe and Russia, as in Belarus, we practically had no proper rivals. (...) You want to break your life and career in a second? Join us! Sooner or later you will understand your place in this country and come to the conclusion, that it is better to live out of this system, like we do, than to be a tiny screw in all this. And although in the past years many of our young boys felt the burden of life and went to jail, we don’t give up and move on.(...)”

OTHER ARTICLES:

DUNDEE UTILITY

We would like to invite you to a series of articles on Scottish hooligans firms. In this issue, you will meet a team quite strange and characteristic, as the hooligans of both clubs from the city of Dundee (United and FC) are united in the same firm, "Utility":

“(...) In 2007, Dundee FC, played at home a friendly match against Millwall. To meet the Bushwhackers, we gathered around 90-100 people, and it was a kind of achievement, considering that for the last 3 years we have failed to mobilize more than a dozen people. Firstly we tried to attack them before the game, in the city center and after the match, 20 hooligans from Utility firm made a kamikaze-style action and charged whole Millwall contingent, marching in full escort to the railway station.(...)”

FOOTBALL FANS IN ULSTER

“(...) At the end of the 70’s Linfield’s “Section F” firm was created (it took name from the home end at Windsor Park). Generally, the situation can be compared to that in Serbia, where Arkan recruited his "Tigers" at Maracana in Beograd. In a similar way, UDA and UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force), acted at Glentoran or Linfield terraces, and the IRA (all of its branches) at Cliftonville.

In the 80’s and 90’s, major riots broke out during games between Linfield and Glentoran, the two clubs, supported by Protestants. Fighting took place both at the LFC stadium, and at The Oval (home of GFC).(...)”

NORTH AMERICA ULTRAS

“(...) In 5 years, I think the Ultras mentality will have spread well throughout the entire league. Its a slow process, but it is moving. People have to remember that this is a very new type of culture here in North America. People here are used to going to sporting events and sitting down and clapping, but it is slowly changing here. (...) In Canada, there are very, very strict laws on the use of pyro, and there are large amounts of police at each game in Toronto. In the USA, the laws aren't as strict, but it's still very risky to light pyro.(...)”
