After searching about fans and watching some videos on youtube, I got the idea that we can maybe have a thread about it here, so everyone can share some amazing fans, choreography's and many stuff related to football or sport generally supporting. You can share your local teams fans video, or some amazing big club such as Borussia, Atletico Madrid (I'm really impressed by fans of these 2 teams)... Also, don't hesitate to post some great basketball, rugby or whatever supporters you want. I just thought that football supporting is most popular, so I posted it under "Football" section.
I'll start with Red Star Belgrade and their 69th birthday anniversary. This is how fans celebrated it and I really like it. There were some technical problems with these "eyes" and fireworks under it, but it looks good after all:
No specific rules except basic ones:
- No spam
- You can post as many as you want videos, but try not to post few consecutive replys
- Some chat about football supporting, fans is always welcome, so - let's get started!

Well, as you guys know, I'm a fanatic Feyenoord fan(though I live too far away from them to visit every match).
I'm thinking Feyenoord has great fans as well. I guess nobody can deny they have the best and most loyal fans from the Netherlands, and probably in the Top 10 of Europe as well, though you can't really make a Top 10 of that, I suppose.
This is the first thing I found:
Keep in mind, it's not even against Ajax or so, but a worthless club that has already been relegated now Edited by Jesleyh on 27-04-2014 20:40
first thing that came to my mind was during the 2012 London Olympics, men's hockey semifinal, Team GB v The Netherlands when Team GB scored the 2-9. if I recall correctly the english fans started to sing against the dutch fans "You are not singing anymore" however I couldn't find it so I might be wrong
then I became my pessimistic self and thought "other then Feyenoord you won't find them in the Netherlands. the fans here have sent trainers away (by threats) twice this season and almost burned down the field of the National cup final

ignore the commentary and don't click the vid, it's full with links
edit: at least in soccer

One thing that is always crossing my mind and I would like to hear the answer: Americans has some great supporters and coreography, but why the fuck are you guys so quiet? I mean, you guys are singing some "real" songs with even instrumentals and literally 2k group from my town would be louder than you. It's just not normal that 50k people are so quiet (jseadog1's video).
Just check my two videos above, I think that songs are as important as coreography, if not even more. I would like to get a proper answer on my question, although it's general one and can be hard to answer on.

This happened on Saturday at Huddersfield, where Leicester won 2-0 (I went). Huddersfield fans invaded the pitch because it was their final home game and because we won the league we decided to come on as well. Was crazy
I come on at the bottom left and shake the manager's hand at 2:57.
I can't find you but can't even find the manager so doesn't matter much (I also suck at were's waldo)
but witness a storming on the field twice. the first time actually I was played when the public stormed the field and the second time while waiting to play my own (away) match and their first team was having a championship game or something.

It's in a way even the contrary to your statement, but what I always came across as well:
I guess American sports are just more about the "make some noise" attitude to impress on TV/feel superior (-> Seahawks world records) or distract the opponent (->Broncos Super Bowl) for a bit while supporting always was about feeling a part of a united group on the stands in Europe, and it just happens to possibly motivate the team as well.
At least that's what I thought when I talked to Cardinals fans in a Phoenix hotel while watching NFL.
I was close to say "pff, that boring yelling is what YOU call great atmosphere?".
Plus, NFL tickets are probably too expensive to create the family feeling of the hardcore football fan section in our stadiums where you are standing on the same spot every second weekend, know most guys around and everyone knows all the songs.
You only have to watch Bayern games to see how quiet and unorganized it can be when there are few pure fans left and the game is not good.
All this is obviously only my interpretation, I'd like to know a bit more about the background or reasons from some Americans as well.

Texas A&M versus TU in the 80s, the play clock wouldn't start until QB gets under center under the rules in those days.
This is "Midnight Yell" there was 40,000 people there just practice yells for the game. Double that noise and that is the actual game.

It's not just an attitude, the jumbotron usually just says, in big words, "Make Some Noise"
You do realize we cannot keep up a chant of more than three words, let alone a song...

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
but they had a punishment cause of that punishment their stadium was closed. But Turkish Football Assocation made a rule at the beginning of the season, the rule was : If a team got punishment, their stadium will not close, just 12 yo or less and women can go without fee.
55.000 women and child fan was there and they celebrate the championship. And women also bring torches to the stadium (which is also prohibited) ! Just like men fans!

Galatasaray fans can go wild really good but only if its a really really important matches like Derbies or Champions League matches. The average fans (Galatasaray) in the Turkish Cup is 10,983 in 55.000 stadium this year. what is this?!? This cant be compered by Dormund!
GS at Turkish Cup Quarter Finals (nearly 8,000 / 55,000)
Dormund at DFB Pokal Semi Finals (Full)
Fenerbahce at Friendly match. (46.000 / 54.000)
GS at Turkish Cup Semi Finals (nearly 25,00 / 55,000
Galatasaray fans can organize really well and go wild at the stadium but they must support the club when it comes to other matches such as Friendlies , Domestic Cup matches.

This definitely is not a place where you should praise your team and show their rival in bad light. Of course that the most important matches will have most fans, most beautiful coreo's and stuff, that's just normal. I like to watch both Fener and Galata, but Galatasaray just has one of the best fans on the world and you have to agree on that.
Okay, when we're talking about rivals, here's the Partizan fans - Grobari. They're probably the best fans in hall and indoor. Just listen to this:
