TORCIDA DUGI RAT


How many members does you group have?
Lets say 15 or 20 of us are always active.For a derby that number can reach anywhere from 50 to 100 easily, but as I said, 20 of us go to all the games.

When did you start going to home and away games?
80's.Since the old league.

How often do you go to games?
All the home games and away games as much as we can. I can't say that we go
to all of them, but around 60-70 %. Someone's always going, some more often than others... We use to go with cars, trains or buses.Now we mostly travel with Combi.

Did you organize a bus to Rijeka?
We didn't, that was planned by the guys from Duce. We're not with them. We went to the game with combi and it took us 13 hours to get there.

Is the banner that you have with you the only one you have?
We have 2 others, big one that says "Mi Bili Zivot Cili" and 10 meters long, red-blue "Torcida Dugi Rat". Now we take this one with us until we make a better one.We use to have a flag Torcida Dugi Rat with a
shark on it, that flag went through everything...

Have you ever lost one?
Never. 

Were you ever beaten up on a game?
Ah, yes.

You were in England for Euro 96 ?
One of our friends went, he use to work for UN back then, and couldn't get a day off, so he put on a fiber glass on his hand, to trick them, and they've let him go.

Why did the members of T.D.R. took their clothes off on Poljud's east?
We were drunk. There were 3 of us on the bottom of the east standings. The rain started falling and we decided to take of our clothes half way down, but one could not resist taking it all off.Then there was the response from North standings by Torcida. It was totally insane.He later had to be in a court for that, even the judge laughed at him.

Gabric and Erceg (ex-Hajduk players) are from Dugi Rat, what can you tell us about then, from supporters point of view?
I, personally don't like Gabric, because once i ran on the field after Dinamo, and I called him (Thinking he knows me, he'll do something), and all he did was wave his hand in un proper manner and went away. Thats when Sizogoreo came and rescued me from the cops. Erceg is OK for me.

Do you support your local club Orkan?
That was before. I know from the stories that there was a support for Orkan, and there were travels to away games. A lot of flares...there use to be a factory, so the ships were there all the time and flares too.
