Just joking. I have friends in Belgrade and I have where to sleep

Croatia's success in the campaign was based on bad form and performances by their opponents + some lucky goals

Definitely! :drinks: Most probably I'll stay in Belgrade for 1 night. I'm still looking for my options for where to sleep (probably some friend's house) Who is going to let me sleep on his hotel room floor?

He's an idiot. He's the best coach in the world after Croatia wins, but his real side was shown after we defeated them. He was blaming the bad pitch (like it was good for our boys and it was bad only for them). He thanked for the hospitality here but after they went back home and after their medias made pressure because of the defeat, he blamed us for the hostile atmosphere. He even said that he'll never again buy the Macedonian watermelons You don't need him. You'll see his real side on the EURO when Croatia starts losing

I guess you'll be joining us (Macedonians) by the TV this summer :p

Greece/Bulgaria/Croatia... for me :p

For the 100th time, that's not true! That's far history and don't mention that! And can someone please PM the links from those articles on the other websites

Yes, they have some kind of Orthodox brotherhood with the fans of Olympiakos and also some friendship with the Spartak Moscow fans. Gate 7 come on all big matches in Belgrade and also members of Delije go to Athens and across Europe to support Olympiakos. Those groups are the only supporters group that Delije have friendly relationship whit

Are you really going via Skopje?

No one wanted to scare you, we just wanted to tell you that they are not that friendly that you will be able to drink beer with them like you did in Skopje and Munich. You will not be able to walk by yourself in your Bolton shirt to the ground. That's the only part from your Belgrade trip that concerns me

The gallery is still empty! I want photos in the gallery and videos on youtube

The fact is that Arkan was Serbian hero at that time and not just the Delije - Zvezda's fans, but almost all Serbians liked him. In the early 90's Arkan was the leader of Zvezda's fans. After the war everybody (especially the Western medias) connect Zvezda's fans with Arkan and his paramilitary forces. There were a lot articles which said that Arkan's main fighters in the war where the top boys from the Delije. On that way they connect them with killings and war crimes. That's why they hate being connected with Arkan anymore

The thing that makes Zvezda's fans very angry is connecting them with Arkan. That's far history now and you should try to avoid those things btw, have a nice time in Munich and send me a post card Good luck!

Yes, you'll be blended with that shirt between Delije

From unknown reasons that photo has problem with displaying Here it is again:

The official trip will be escorted and secured with heavy police. I advise you all who are not in the official trip to hire a bus and join the escorted official tour. Don't walk to the ground! Don't just enter a cab and tell him to take you to the ground. You MUST find a way to be escorted around the ground. I was there when Bayern's fans arrived at the stadium. They arrived with 3 buses. Maybe there were more people then usual in those buses but as you can see on this photo: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8361/25102007214rh9.jpg they were definitely not 9 buses like said before. 200-250 I would say I have nothing against flares, but UEFA has. Flares are forbidden on official matches. Let me just show you what would have happened in Belgrade if flares were allowed:

They were 3 buses, not 9. + some fans who came by their self, so there were 200 Bayern fans in Belgrade. Nothing of this is serious and that bad. Bayern's fans were throwing things too and they even lighted 2 flares after they scored the first goals. I don't know how they managed to smuggle them in, but I'm sure that I would have been arrested if lighted a flare in the other part of the stadium. I can surely say that Bayern's fans had the best time in Belgrade compared to the other away fans. You too shouldn't care much about your safety in the center of Belgrade and also during the match because there will be big security. The only thing that should concern the guys who will come on their self in Belgrade is how will thry arrive at the stadium before the match and then go to the hotel after the match

That was a question that I wanted to ask you too. Not just how do you plan to leave, but how do you plan to get to the stadium too? In any case, don't even think about walking to the ground like in Skopje, or getting a cab to the stadium. All of you who are not coming with the official trips should organize something so you all come together with buses escorted by the police. Bayern fans came with 3 buses to the ground. The buses were escorted with police. They arrived 30 minutes before the gates were opened for the other fans. The whole street and a small part next to the stadium was blocked by the high numbered special police while the Bayern fans were taken from their buses to their seats in the stadium. After the match they were kept inside the stadium for more then an hour, so all the fans leave the stadium and the area around the stadium. I know that a lot of you will come independently, but you definitely should think about how will you get to and leave the stadium. Maybe you can organize and hire a bus that will take you to the ground before the match together with the others who will come with the official trip and then after the match the same bus takes you to the hotel (escorted by the police)

Don't hope for 3 points in Belgrade. Bayern were outplayed yesterday with the help from the atmosphere created by the home fans. Zvezda were really unlucky and conceded 2 goals in the last 5 minutes after mistakes by their goalkeeper. I don't know how Megson will change Bolton, but if they continue to play like this then I don't see them taking even a point in Belgrade

Just returned home from Belgrade. Fantastic match and fantastic atmosphere. Too bad Zvezda was unlucky and lost the match in the last minutes. There were some 200 Bayern fans yesterday. During the day I noticed 3 of them drinking coffee in the center of Belgrade with their Bayern shirts and they had no problems with home fans. There were a lot of provocations and a lot thrown objects on them on the stadium, but that's not a problem because there is huge security on the stadium. I'll post more info and some videos later

10,848 yesterday against Portuguese club in the UEFA Cup group stage and 18,932 on Rabotnicki match against Macedonian club? What the hell is wrong with you Bolton fans? This and the Aris match could be your last home European matches for long time

awesome! I really enjoyed watching the videos and reading yours and the other posts. Like I told you in Skopje, I wish we had 1/10 of that atmosphere here in Macedonia. I wish we had that gathering before the matches in the bars, drinking beer before the matches, traveling in big groups on away matches, big number of away fans coming to your stadium, 10-15000 fans on the stadium, good atmosphere during the match... Unfortunately this is the Macedonian reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je2eOqKfpWA 3-400 fans on the average matches and 3-4000 on the big derbies. There's not much for remembering from the Macedonian football history
