Mate, listen here.
Remember Visoko (your home town club) won the cup in 96/97. Well, people in Visoko still talk about that. Now the team is in the third league, do people still go to watch them? Do they fuck. There are crowds of under 200 this season, and most of those are friends and family of the players, or club patrons. Well, when City were in the third league, there were crowds of 28,000+ at every game. That's more than went to watch Bosnia v Portugal. And it had been longer since City had won a trophy (23 years) than it is for Visoko (14 years). If and when they get back into the Bosnian Prem, then crowds will swell again. That just doesn't happen so dramatically in Britain.
Supporting football in Britain is TOTALLY different to in ex-Yugoslavia. You've given an example of Siroki vs Sarajevo- this is all about Nationalism and right-wing politics, not football. Millwall (and possibly Chelsea) aside, there is no English club whose violence is based on anything apart from the football itself. And nobody here is proud of this violence any more. When I explained to you about me caring more about the Premier League than the Champions League, you thought I was lying. Well, look at the general attitude on here, and you'll see I'm not the only one. We just think differently about the sport, and support our teams in different ways to Eastern Europeans and people from the Balkans.
Also, BHF don't really make it into the media abroad in the same way as they do in Bosnia. Fair enough, when they had an agenda with the Federation, they made headlines (especially in countries with large diaspora populations). But now that the organisation is full of children who've joined, basically, to 'have a fight', they are pretty insignificant. Most of the original/older members have left, and the youngsters don't care about the choreography, just about winding up/fighting with the opposition fans. The only people who care about that kind of thing are Russians and Ukrainians these days. Aris Salonika put on a better show against us than BHF ever have.
