The Belgrade Derby

[safc_till_i_die]

Anybody been?

We're off there over Easter Weekend. Our host is only willing to sort us tickets in the Red Star end (the away end). Should I be shitting bricks?

What's the story behind those two? Is one the army team and the other the old communist party team?

Some corn beef went missing in the early nineties and they have been at each others throats since

that's the origins of the two but until you've been to serbia it's hard to understand why this is a nasty affair

Do not go!

I was there at the weekend and was intimidated enough by the Red Star fans wondering up to the ground for their game even without me having any allegiances. Being in that atmosphere and being associated with one of the teams doesn't bear thinking about. They breed them big and mean in Serbia and this game is about much more than football.
