It was the Boulogne boys that I was familiar with. Very political, very violent, and there was always nonsense with OM throughout the 90s until the boy got stabbed to death and the ban on travelling fans started. My mate grew up in the outskirts of Paris in the 90s and he told me some tales. He's PSG and he hated them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

A Police team in a Police State. Sounds a bit Facist no?
Reckon it’s the right wing establishment team.

Apart from that one weirdo on the FLA thread who's probably wearing his brown shirt as we speak.

Great insight into how the teams worked as well as being a great historical read. I'd say they were socialist at the time rather than communist.

From what I`ve seen in Spanish football , left / right difference between rival clubs is pretty insignificant . Real Madrid were referred to as the team of the " regime " ( meaning Franco`s regime ) but Atletico Madrid were Atletico Aviación with even closer links to Franco`s regime and certainly their " Ultras " now are eve more right wing than anything that follows Real Madrid . Never thought of Barcelona or their fans as being left wing and can`t think why anyone would think differently . A very rich club with many rich supporters ( could be compared with tennis clubs in Barcelona but on a much bigger scale ) . Some politicians ( almost all or all right wing Catalan nationalaists or right wing Catalan independence supporters ) have used Barcelona CF to boost their political careers and club have tried or still try to use political issues to boost income but knowing that internal Spanish issues won`t affect their enormoyus popularity outside Spain especially outside Europe . Seville is a bit like Edinburgh in that there are 2 teams with similar supports , Sevilla with a slightly bigger support within the city while Betis are very popular in villages all over Andalusia ( competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona ) and in other parts of Spain where there are a lot of Andalusians particularly Catalonia ( especially poorer parts where Andalusian / Extremeño workers settled - mainly left - wing anti Catalan independence if political labels have to be given ) . Sevilla is supposed to be the " establishment " team in Seville but that was a long time ago and Spain has moved on very fast in the last 40 odd years and in fact Betis ultras are right wing while Sevilla Biri Biri are left wing . In all cases , talk of Ultras is of a tiny percentage of club supports so I would say political influence in club supports is far less than many observers might think or hope for . Rayo Vallecano havae been mentioned before on this thread as having a left - wing support which I`m sure is true - Vallecas is a poor area of Madrid with a high percentage of Andalusian " immigrants " ( like many areas of Catalonia ) and most fans will be local who have no affinity with gloryhunters following Real and Atletico .

and the divide with the Barca support is like fascists vs anarchists.. Very complex..
Saying that, there was equal amounts of fans from both teams in every bar, and no sign of violence..
The same trip I was in a bar in Malaga when we beat the Rangers 3-2 again, and a grown man, with 3 kids in tow, called me a Catholic *******!!!! Ugly!!!
