On holiday last week and managed to take in a game with O.F.I. the team in Crete. They play in the second tier of Greek football and I would guess their average attendance is in the 3k mark. Their club shop puts ours to shame with the range of T shirts and casual wear available - they even have their own easter eggs ffs. However the standard of play wasn't fantastic and the refereeing makes Gollum look like the best the world has to offer. All in all a great day out and the atmosphere was impressive given the numbers. They have a conductor, as it were, who has his own podium on the terracing facing the fans with a megaphone and makes sure everyone is singing along.Quite how they manage to get all the flares, smoke bombs and bangers in I'm not quite sure as the search upon entering would put the airports to shame. Never seen so many riot police for a game of football but they told us they regularly have trouble at the games,although there are very few, if any away fans, although after the final whistle they are quick to get onto the pitch to escort the incompetent officials to safety as fans came from everywhere to try and lynch them.
