The fans of Lech Poznan: Hooligans world-class coming to Sarajevo
Soccer Club Sarajevo will compete in the second qualifying round of the Champions League with the Polish champion Lech Poznan. After yesterday conducted the draw in Nyon after the Bordeaux team found out the name of the opponent, one of the most pressing issues and have become fans of the Polish champions.
The fans of Lech Poznan are one of the most radical in Poland, but also throughout Europe. It is known to all clubs in Poland, in addition to ordinary ultras, have a hooligan teams and Lech hooligans are among the worst. While in Bosnia and Herzegovina of the opinion that the hooligans Lech called Terrormachine, that is not true. The word is the only one of the banners that can be seen on the club matches of Poznan.
'' MARISAN the meadow ''
Ultras are the ones who are responsible for the visual appearance of the stands, while the hooligans of course the only objective to be good "pomarišu" with opposing fans. Polish fans are mostly extremely physically ready. Going to the gym and learning martial arts is in their daily schedule, and are therefore a big bite for all your opponents. Agreed fights in Poland are not uncommon, and probably some of you are few who have not had a chance to see some YouTube video "MARISAN" on the lawn. Lech hooligans such calculations rarely lose.
But it was not always so. In the early 90s of the last century hooligans Lech were the subject of ridicule among the subculture in Poland. In the mid-90s of the last century, everything changed, and the two groups of fans Young Freaks 9 and Brygada Banici groups that make up the hooligans Lech Poznan. Their most prominent sections are Szwadron Gostyn and Legion Pila.
The triad of Polish - Lech Poznan - Cracovia - Arka Gdynia
Beats the forests are being caused by the control that the police do when it comes to fans in Poland. Hooligans are under video surveillance, and police often arrest these people like the notorious criminals in a well-planned actions. It is interesting that among the fans in Poland made a deal to get in fights does not use the weapon, but that certain groups, primarily those from Krakow, are not respected. Conflicts fans Wisla Cracovije and claimed many lives. The meeting was made in Poznan and was attended by all groups of Polish.
Conclusion of the so-called Poznanski pact agreed to in fights does not use any weapons, as well as to the meetings on the street do not destroy the vehicle. Any loss or damage must be compensated. The national team also no conflict, unless both sides do not want conflict, exclusively outside the stadium. All groups except those of Krakow respect the agreement.
All the fan group from the Polish have a friendship, and thus fans Lech cherished friendship with fans Cracovije and the Ark of Gdynia. This group is named Great Triad and the fans of Lech recently had a friendly relationship with fans Spartak Moscow.
Other wholesale Fans friendship among Polish fans Lechia Gdansk, Wisla Krakow and Slaska from Wroclaw, known as "Trzej Królowie Wielkich Miast", or literally translated "Royal three major cities." These two groups had a fierce battle ensues in 2003 that killed a fan of the Ark, and all participants of the fight ended up in prison. On both sides there were 180 people in a fight.
Although it is thought that all the supporters of Lech aggressive and the sole preoccupation of how to break a head, this is not true. Such has "only" a few hundred, and are no different from other clubs in Poland. The others are extremely loyal to his club, so for several years run record by the average number of spectators at the stadium during the season. The organization stands and commitment ultras Lech is very impressive. The choreography of which you can see breathtaking on YouTube, as well as the stunning fireworks.
Turning back ground and jumping and singing is something that we have seen in all the stadiums of the world, but it is believed that it was Lech fans started this trend, in late 1961. That is why we often have the opportunity to see how the cheering trend called "The Poznan", first of all, on the island.
The rivalry Lech Poznan and Legia Warsaw
The biggest rival Lech Poznan, the Legion of Warsaw, a team that comes from the Polish capital. Distance between Poznan and Warsaw is 350 kilometers, but nevertheless biggest rival Lech is legion. Interestingly, the Legion has a larger rivals of Lech. The fans Legion biggest rival is the team from Lodz Widzew, but hatred for both teams is similar. The biggest derby in Poland is the one between the Legion and Widzewa, but this one is much smaller.
The rivalry was created in 1980 in the Cup final, when there was a big mess you will have the opportunity to read below. Hatred is created and because Legia kidnapped one player from Lech during the communist regime. Legion was then a military club and she could practically have every player from the Polish who wished. It is a Mirosław Okoński, who at the end of two years of playing in the Legion back to Lech, before you will continue his career in the German Bundesliga.
On May, the day of victory against fascism, there's been the greatest tragedy in the history of Polish football. The match, which is often called the Polish Heysel was played at the stadium in Czestochowa, the Polish city of the world visit it each year thousands of believers. On that day, visited by thousands of fans from Poznan and Warsaw. The day before the match, the first trains and buses with fans started coming to the city. The crowd was met on the streets and there was a riot, and as a weapon used by all they came to hand.
The day before the game and players were attacked Legion who went to visit the church of Jasna Gora. Lech fans pelted the players Legion stones and bottles, and the previously mentioned Okonski was declared a traitor and was not allowed to leave the hotel Patria. The following day, from the morning, several incidents on the streets of the city, and as it approached match, riots they approached the stadium. Every hour in the city came to the buses and trains of Poznan and Warsaw, a few hours before the game there was a fight in which was attended by 1,000 fans.
A large number of fans remained lying on the streets in blood, and fight they used a variety of objects, such as chains, stones, knives. Police in Czestochowa has been unable to curb the fans, and they were helped by the unit in Katowice and other nearby towns. Legion was eventually won with 5: 0, and during the match were flying objects from one to another cheering sector. One goal is scored by a hated and Mirolaw Okonski. This match has been called the Polish Heysel and the fans of the Legion and Lech point out that the communist government hid the number of injured and dead, and that he does not know to this day.
In the years that followed, the rivalry continued. In the season 1992 / in 1993. Legion passed first through the finish, but was ultimately stripped of the title. In the last round runner-up LKS Lodz was needed victory by three goals more than the Legion. In the end, the Legion celebrated 6: 0 against Cracovije, while LKS Lodz won against Olimpija from Poznan 7: 1st Supporters of the Legion celebrated the title, and then they were taken away from her because of doubts about the setting and assigned to the third placed Lech Poznan. Supporters of the Legion set fire to the door of the Football Association, a legendary player of this team Wojciech Kowalczyk said: "Unfortunately, the crowd set fire to the door of the building. Too bad, you should have set fire to the whole building."
Agreed fights in the center of Warsaw
Hooligan clashes between the two fan groups are the worst in Poland, with those between the Legion and Widzewa. One of the worst recorded more than ten years, but that had been in the center of Warsaw. Lech in 2000 dropped to the second division, which is why fans have not been able to meet for two years, but in August 2002 agreed to street fights. About 120 hooligans from Poznan clashed with around 150 hooligans from Warsaw. The fight took place in the center of town, more precisely in the main street of Warsaw, Wolski. After five minutes of fierce fighting, Lech hooligans who controlled an away ground.
Oh, the opinion prevailed, fans of Lech Poznan are not ordinary idiots pumped up on steroids, whose only goal is to destroy everything in front of you. Of course there are some, but this club from Wielkopolska has an enviable fan group that is undoubtedly the 12th player of the club. Will have the opportunity to the fans but also the players of Sarajevo on July 21 are on the Miejski, or how it is from the European Championship in 2012 called - INEA. We hope to after the games matches to write about the great success of our club in Europe and a fantastic atmosphere in the two games and not on possible conflicts among fans.
