Nice post. I wish we could generate some of that atmosphere at our place. It sounds fucking awesome in that vid of the tunnel walk!A possible reason why our tunnel is so long is because the distance between the stands and the pitch is quite big. If your eyesight isn't the best you may struggle to see the other side of the pitch from the opposite! Also, from the front of the stand, there is a big drop and a gap, as well as a spiked fence, to ensure no spectators can go on to the pitch. It is impossible to pitch invade at Rajko Mitic stadion, these measures were introduced following past riots.
I believe the anti-fascist element who started out at the club was from 75 years ago, so this is a long distant past for many. Serbia used to be a communist state and many of the buildings and structure still reflect this to this date. The way our city looks is still very different to modern European cities.
In terms of the football, our standard is so much below Tottenham Hotspur. The Serbian league is possibly a similar standard to Championship (top half of the Serbian league) and League One (bottom half of the Serbian league), although I cannot make this comparison with any certainty. This difference of ability has been noticed in our away games in the UCL in the past 2 seasons, we have lost 4-0 at Liverpool, 5-0 at Tottenham, 3-0 at Bayern, 6-1 at PSG and 3-1 at Napoli.
What gives us any sort of chance is our home form, which is quite incredible considering how much lower our standard of football is. The stadium when it is full is very, very intimidating for every team who comes. It is deafening noise, everybody is stood up, and even all our ball boys, camera men, media crew are all passionate Zvezda supporters who cheer and sing through the game. Our home fixtures against the earlier mentioned teams have finished: 2-0 win vs Liverpool, 0-0 draw vs Napoli, 3-1 win vs Olympiakos. So we stand a much better chance at home.
My head is saying Tottenham will be too good for us, as you should be, so the score should really be 0-2/1-3. But with our home advantage we are strangely capable of anything.
Thank you

Shocking day when we signed this lad. Naturally a person called Thatcher turned out to be a right cunt.
There is another with him when he runs past someone and elbows them in the face but I can't remember who it was now.
Probably one of our players.

#GerryFrancisKetomineThe mid 90s to early 00s are a bit of a blur for me too.... Not sure why.
Forgot the year. 2022.
Fake news innit.
thought probably animal blood? not chalk...
Got a chisel did you Lord Snooty?
Would be OK if it was Charlie Adams
Found it
Aye, in my day you'd have to wrench one of yer own teeth out and use that....
yoof just lost 2-0, shocking defending for both goals in true spurs fashion-these kids have a future with the first team
Thats them in huge trouble to get out of the group.
I caught the game. Max Robson and Dennis Cirkin seem to have a bit about them. Robson looks a natural number 10, he reminded me of a Maddison/ Modric/ Eriksen mound player so one to keep an eye on.
We won't when we're being told to
"SIT DOWN, AND SHUT UP!"
Only saw last few mins when I got in there-decent effort from Bennet at the end but app that was the keepers only save:-/ I haven't been blown away by many of our prospects the last year or so apart from Parrot tbh but def some potential.
Nice to see Mason on the touchline regardless of the results though, hope he is successful with them.
Fake news... The date is 6th November but it says "last night" meaning 5th November..
Yes I am bored with fuck all better to do..
