Best Fan Klub(s) Ever


For you people who don't understand Plagiarism, I straight up thiefed some articles from different websites, so don't get mad at me for publishing someone elses opinions.


Check this out. My team has TWO fan klubs! we're the only team in Poland like this. We got the Jadar Radom fans, and the Czarni Radom fans. Two separate groups of fan cheering for the same team. I didn't understand this at first, fact i still don't completely. At one of our away games, i noticed there was two large banners with our team name, and the oppositions name as per usual, but then another large group of fans entered the gym also cheering for Radom.

So I asked a teammate what the dealio was, and in broken English they explained the following:

The Czarni are loyalists of the old Radom sport Klub. Two years ago, the volleyball Klub in Radom was Called Czarni Radom. It had been here for 80 years. and from what I gather, it had financial troubles, and had to close. At this point a whole new Klub was started sponsored by a corporation called Jadar, which it is still owned by today. When the new Klub was started, a new Fan klub came with it.

Now this is the conflict, The loyalists want the name of the Klub to be Czarni Jadar Radom, or Jadar Czarni Radom, but because of some rule pertaining to taxes, this is impossible, and the loyalists are pissed.

So thats the basics. So these two clubs come to all the games, they sit on opposite parts of the gym, and cheer their hearts out for us (and when they have a free moment, they yell at each other). Its great... the cheering for us part that is. Personally I think in this situation, a name is just a name, and the team is what matters, but I haven't been part of this city very long, so I can't really understand.

If you want to check it out, go to http://www.czarni.pl/ to see the Czarni, and go to http://www.ksjadar.pl/ and click Klub Kibica to see the Jadar fans.

From what i can tell, both groups of people enjoy the matches, and support us to the fullest; basically doing the same things. Its to bad a label gets in the way of these fans coming together.

p.s.

when you leave comments leave your first and last name so I can respond.

Hey you,

Dallas, I guess you are not long enough in Poland to understand the role of Czarni Radom...its part of a long volleyball history. How can you change the name after 80 years??!! Money can change everything though. Pathetic.

Have a great day!

yes, it's really difficult to understand this, but if U are longer in Poland maybe U'll capish it ;) Everybody has another concept of cheering. U think "one group, one thinking of cheering" - no. Everyone feel magic of the game in another way. Czarni Radom fans and Jadar Radom fans are shared but they're cheering the same team and that fact is important :)
