Interwiew with an Olympiakos supporter
1.) Hello to Greece! First i will say that i am very proud to get an interview with one of the most famous and best ultra groups in europe. The “Ultras Gate 7” make headlines around europe. Please tell us how the group come into existence and what's all about it?
Hello mate. Thanks for the good words. Gate 7 (Thira 7) officially starts 1982. Before this there was several united groups/firms but after the incident at gate 7 of Karaiskaki stadium and the death of 21 brothers all the groups get together and in memory of our brothers fisrt and secondary cause the gate we was stand the nae is Gate 7. All about? OLYMPIAKOS
2.) In Italy or at O. Marseilles the Ultras finance themselves by merchandise or a positive club politic. How do you finance your terraces shows?
Every Gate 7 club have materials and members that pay every month a fee. The biggest percent of the money is going to a unite account so we can do anything we want.
3.) I often saw that supporters in Greece climb big high fences. Is this a Greek cult?
Yes you can say this. Haha, we have missed this cause now the Clus and the Police gets awaya those fences.
4.) What is the reason for that massive rivalry in Athens. Are political things the only reasons for that violence?
The rivarly between the supporters in Athens and Greece it is noway political. It only fans subjects. Hate, Rivarly say it as you want. But it is NOT political. The only political reasons for violence here in Greece is the riots against the state, police and other for the new laws against the supporters and fan clubs.
5.) Piräus is a dock and working class area. Is that area a social focus and is this the reason for the rivalry with Panathinaikos, cause their supporters coming from richer areas?
This is the reason that this rivarly starts. Olympiakos supporters was always in lower socail classes but not only for Piraeus. Te major and the hardcrest clubs are at Athens (Yes Athens and Pireaus is almost the same town) and we are much more at this places also.
6.) I heard that at a derby in Saloniki was a dog burned because his coat had the colours of a local rival. What is the difference to the scene in Athens, or is there also such a big rivalry between the teams in the north of Greece?
Yes i remember this. Haha, it is fucking stupid man. This is not violence. The north scene is sometimes only good but it is small. It is like people that know it's other and it is not real incidents. The truth is that the derbis at the north have good events. South is more real hooliganism and the scene is very good. Older days at derby days at Athens there was chaos. Nowdays, and cause the new laws, there are many especially casual groups that doing all the "job". So the difference between north and south is that at south there is a trully and smart scene.
7.) Did the victory at the euro 2004 in portugal changed something in your fan scene? Less rivalry, or is there no interest of the Greek Ultras to the national team like at the Italian Ultras?
Non of the Greek Ultras have interest for the national team. But the victory change a lot of thing. Now the goverment, the police and the journalist trying to close all the fan clubs. It is a fucking war with them.
8.) What is the general situation of the Greek Ultra scene? We heard about hard procedures against violence in Greek stadiums?
Yes the things are very difficult today. There are huge numerous of undercover policemans at the stadiums and at the streets. We have the biggest problems with the state cause we are the biggest greek ultras fan club with more than 15000 members and big incidents events. Many guys of us went to jail and some clubs closed for sometime by the police. Like i say to you above, it is a fucking war.
9.) What do you have to say to a guy that compares your scene with the Italian Ultra cult?
We have many common and many different things. I believe that Greek scene is more hardcore. Italian scene is more organised at some things like movements against laws and the state. We are more violent when we react. We have respect not to all but to some italian ultras like AS Roma and some others.
Short words to:
a) Glasgow Rangers
b) Otto Rehakles
c) Fans in der Turkey
I don't have something to say about the 3 thing you ask for.
11.) OK! Thanks for the interview and the friendly contact to you!
Ok, mate. Have fun adn keep the spirit alive.
