So .. my vote goes to Switzerland I really like the movement there . Being between two countries with a strong fan culture ( Italy and Germany ) they managed to mix the style really good .
Hey Gate 7... First of all let me congratulate you for your initiative in opening this poll. It's a good one ( initiative ) and i wish more of our guys would do like you. Second....why just these countries? Countries like Spain and Portugal don't deserve at least a mention? Granted they're are not the best... but they do at least a decent job ( Sevilla, Rayo, Atleti, Betis, Zaragoza, St.Andreu, Sporting, Vittoria, Porto,Braga are more than ok in my opinion). And then there's Bosnia , Russia, Bulgaria and POLAND ...can't belive you did not mention them. These are more than ok ultras scenes.... And i'm heartbroken you didn't mention Romania...
Now my vote....i will have to vote Germany...and let me tell you why.... I'm from Romania, and in my country there are just about 10 or 15 teams that have a decent following and a so called ultras scene around them... But in Germany....there's no end in sight. It seems that every team has it's passionate fans, you have more than ok scenes in about 30 or 40 teams . If we take a look at 2 Bundesliga this year , with teams like Eintracht Frankfurt, Dynamo Dresden, St.Pauli, Hansa Rostock, Brauschweig, Furth, Union Berlin, Karlsruhe,Duisburg, Dusseldorf etc... you'll see what i mean... and that's only their second division. There are also teams like Koln,Dortmund,Schalke,HSV,Bremen,Jena,Erfurt,Bielefeld,Reutlingen,Stuttgart,Leipzieg ( with two teams Lok and my absolute favourites Chemie Leipzieg and their wonderfull fans ),Zwickau, Munster...and the list could go on and on...
So for me Germany wins by the huge number of teams that have top quality ultras followers.
I have to go with Italy. Yes they are having a hard time now , with all that represion and the "tessera del tifoso" , but let us remeber...THEY STARTED ALL THIS. Without them we wouldn't have this wonderful thing we call ultras. So, yes, my vote goes to Italy... in my opinion they are still the greatest.
I'm usualy posting stuff from Switzerland , and it's no coincidence....i like them a lot. For such a little countru they have a really good ultras scene.
Italy, of course. They're below their best but still are above all others. Just behind them are the top groups from the Balkans and the Swiss and French scenes.
