Gate 7 08/02/1981 "A different day for Olympiacos Fans"
The Karaiskakis Stadium disaster was an incident that occurred on 8 February 1981, in the Karaiskakis Stadium in Neo Faliro, Greece, after a football match between Olympiacos and AEK Athens FC. It is the biggest football tragedy in Greece's history. A total number of 21 supporters lost their lives while rushing out of the stadium to celebrate the victory of Olympiacos against AEK Athens FC (6-0). The accident took place in the historic "Gate 7" (Θύρα 7). There are still debates regarding the causes that led to the disaster. The main cause for the accident, according to the official police report, seems to be a partially closed door. While exiting, some fans lost their balance and fell on the last steps. Dozens fell onto each other and were stepped over by unsuspecting fans who kept coming. 19 supporters lost their lives within the stadium, while another two died of their wounds in hospital. At least 55 more were injured. Most of them were teenagers and young adults.[1] The accident occurred in a gate where supporters of Olympiacos were concentrated, however one of the victims was reported to be a supporter of AEK Athens FC. In memory of this event, every year on February 8, there is a memorial service at the stadium in honor of the supporters that died in that incident. The service is attended by thousands of fans every year, who are rhythmically shouting the phrase "Αδέρφια, ζείτε, εσείς μας οδηγείτε." (Adhélfia, zíte, esís mas odhiyíte, "Brothers, you live, you are the ones who guide us."). At the tribune part of the stadium where now is the gate 7, some seats are colored black instead of red, shaping the number "7", whereas there is also a monument on the eastern side of the stadium, bearing the names of all 21 supporters killed on that day in the stadium. Even though this incident affected almost solely the fanbase of Olympiacos, other teams occasionally pay their respects to the people killed as well, as they consider the incident a tragedy not only for one team, but for the whole country. In the past, even foreign teams, such as Liverpool F.C. and Red Star Belgrade have honored the incident's victims. "Gate 7" (Θύρα 7), οne of the most supportive fan clubs of Olympiacos was named after the incident. Although "Gate 7"-members are considered to be ultras, the people sitting in that gate before and during the incident were normal supporters, the majority of them without season tickets.

ORTHODOX BROTHERS : DELIJE SEVER & GATE 7 from 1986 until today...
Belgrade distance from Piraeus is approximately 1,200 kilometers. As a first sound heard many or at least enough to make it harder to maintain a friendship. The relationship of organized supporters of the Red Star with those of the Olympic is now well known. Lately become much talk, and not unjustly, for this relationship, as the reputation of fraternal friendship which have developed over 21 years has surpassed the borders maskai has reached football venues across Europe. We went to Belgrade and even during the two days the Red Star greet the "hateful" Partizan. In "El Clasico" in Serbia, where the Olympics are accustomed, as did this time, give this potential in a motion in support of "Reds brothers." We had the cave ... the organized supporters of Red Star "Ultras Boys", who also are responsible for this 21-year old friendship with the fans of Olympiakos. You see, the oldest of them were those who met the "Fat John" - as he stated, then having the general order to "Port 7", known hangouts and the Reds as "John the submersible." We walked with them on the road from the pub-hangout to "Maracana", watched the derby from the port of fanatical Red Star (although we can say we got lucky, since the group-this-even defeated Dusan Bajevic with 4-2 of the "black and white") and today we present the notorious Serb, who many times are said to have come to Greece.

The meeting:
Belgrade had received ... the martial aspect imeratou derby between Red Star and Partizan, as everywhere were skirmished police (even if they tried to be as discreet as possible) ready to intervene if necessary. Derby Day for the capital and nobody seemed to forget. In our hotel, and some are Greeks, who have been found again in Belgrade derby day. "You see what derby. People are simply incredible! "We say and did not have much time to see for myself. Four Serbs, with two cars come to the hotel to greet others who drink their coffee there. They are all fans of Star. Having made ​​the necessary systaseiskai acquaintances to explain who we are, prior telephone contact in recent days, and board the car to go to the place where he was to become the party ... prepare for the big derby. In Serbia there are links such as fans know them in Greece. The groups created a formally-link-opt a pub, a hangout for everyone-whatever the "coreligionistic" non-knowledge that is theirs. So we went to one such, but the most hardcore ...!

In the pub:
We stop outside a shop, where they heard deafening music. Opposite, we observe two policemen, while the whole pub goes out and greets them "brothers" from Greece. The atmosphere is festive and very friendly. The store are only fans of Red Star, mostly older, who have begun the necessary ingestion of beer. We know Mark, the President-most-of that link and ask him to tell us what he feels for twinning with the fans of Olympiakos. "Pride" is the first word he says loudly, bringing along his hand on the heart. "We show all these years that a friendship between supporters of movements can evolve into something more than the groups in human relationship," he says, and refers us for more information on so-called "grandfather". The Kirle such as the name implies, is a 46-year-, ordinary man. Seated at a table with two other "colleagues" of. We were welcomed with a smile after making the necessary recommendations to unravel the "skein" of memories, the end of which is the beginning of this friendship possible.

Everything Starts then:
"It all started in 1986. We played game with Panathinaikos for the Cup UEFA, the Olympic Stadium. We arrived in Athens the night before. At the hotel we sat came "Fat John" and asked me tickets for the game that we gave. He explained that Panathinaikos is everything and Partizan for us and she wanted him and his friends to support the Red Star in the game. I said "okay" how many tickets you want? "" Two hundred, "he answers. Not believe him. I laughed and explained how he wants two hundred tickets cost enough money to rely simply on his word. He asked how much money I needed and then some time calculating the said amount. He does so and begins counting money. "Tomorrow we will be there," he says. And it was. They came, they called us, helped us a lot. "At the end of the match coming up again and tells me that the booster will come from Athens by bus, to support us again. It was there that I laughed a lot. Then I used to go with either a team to fight abroad, especially when they were fans of another team. John saw that I smiled and told me in a serious tone that the morning of the day would play against Panathinaikos will be in Belgrade was a coach of Olympic fans. The following talking amongst ourselves and laugh. Came the day of the race this morning to warn that some Greeks are looking for tickets. I went and saw not one but two coaches waiting outside the "Maracana!" Gone mad, I could not believe it, "says" Grandpa "and his face shines. Inside the pub people come constantly. From the loudspeakers playing nonstop songs of the Red Star and, often dense, all gathered, hugging and singing the lyrics. Difficult language to Serbian, wants exercise to understand a word. We ask the Kilter what he feels about the friendship that has developed between them and the fans OLYMPIC, launched from a platform ... and now holds 21 years. "I do not know if you can understand, but for me it is very important. Now I can do anything for my friends the Greeks. I can fight on their side, if I asked. It is very possible, "he says and begins to list of stories and situations that have lived all these years. "Even in war we had when we asked for help from our brothers, we had. They gave us money when we needed to live or to strengthen families who were hungry and this is something I can never forget, "says" Grandpa ", who boasts that since 1978 started the course in golf, it has never done ... step back, so the sides are far fewer than normal! Our discussion hears another fan of Star, who will speak: "Dude, you know that friends of Olympiakos are our friends. The Olympics are brothers and our enemies, our enemies. I have not ever been to Greece but I'll go sometime. Panathinaikos is our enemy. There is no point in going back. I will do whatever my brothers in Greece. " Clearly see the eyes of some hate to overflowing. Hate when that is over or even verging, as in Greece in episodes of Peania, certainly does not lead anywhere.

Road to stadium:
The hours passed and the world ever grew. Should be left one hour from the start of the race when the slogan was leaving the pub. With a nod to "grandfather" and protrop'i Mark, we all got up. Poured on the road starting the course from an alley which was located next to the pub. You must be over one hundred people started the "walk" while the challenge was to find "mice" as facetiously characterizing Partizan fans. During the course did not speak hardly any. With a harmonious anarchy ... we walk the narrow streets until we came to a central, while at the back seemed longer pillars land. We understood one of the two traffic lanes and walked into it. Ask the "grandfather", who stood beside me: "The road is closed because of the derby we close it now?" "This road is mine," he answered smiling, hitting a back-friendly. Approaching a court. There is the familiar "Maracana" but that the Partizan. The two courses are within three hundred metroo, although the organized supporters of groups which are blatantly hated, which, if anything, is surprising. "They put Klidarithmos the draw, so when one is playing at home, the other plays off", we answer the question about how "living" the two groups. Passing next to the stadium and after Partizan now escorted by police forces, some flying beer bottles on the walls and stronger intensity of the cues relative to the start of the march, which at that time numbered over three hundred people.

Maracana:
Approaching the stadium "Maracana" people see the course and away from the sigontarei slogans screaming fans. Walking proudly in the "home", of the northern curve, called "Sever", which is home to hardcore fans of Red Star. The world is waiting to get into the stadium lot. Overcrowding at the entrance doors. We walk into the stadium. Horseshoe is nearly packed

The Game:
The Game Red Star - Partizan derby is, in every sense of the word. The two petals dispute to reach it ... air that hovers over "Maracana" with shouts and slogans. A police helicopter rides ever made ... The stand organized the Red Star is the same as that of Olympic. Erythrolefko color everywhere, people of all ages, women and children, were all there. Banners, slogans, drums ... The same and opposite, they only wear black and white colors. One side says that waving a flag of PAOK, but I can not pick. The label looks like Partizan PAOK, like fans, who sing like the Thessalonians slogans.

The goals of Partizan spurred opponents to "burn" the grandstand where he was. Dozens of flares were lit in the moment, while at the same time the Red Star supporters chanted slogans even harder to keep up the morale of the players.

With the start of the second half the Red Star managed to equalize, causing wild enthusiasm at Horseshoe. Torches are lit and all sorts thrown in koulouartou land. The image of you brings to mind the door 7 in the old "Karaiskaki" and the two officials who were responsible for turning off firecrackers are thrown in special buckets ....

Partizan air quickly gets two goals that cause the intense celebration of "black" supporters. The Red Star, after a momentary numbness understand how the defeat on the pitch is inevitable and take defeat in their struggle, this battle of the platform. Choreography start, sikontai banners, fireworks lit ... A banner measures 30 to which the town Red Star and Olympiakos, covering the railings in front of the petallo. "21 years our heart beating loudly and proudly in Belgrade, brothers together forever, Delije". Horseshoe applauding and shouting "Olympiakos - Olympiakos". While getting up a banner indicating all groups with which it is twinned fans of Partizan. The signals of AEK and PAOK in it.

The celebration on the podium, in contrast to the funeral ... in the pitch-still exists. The final whistle of the referee signals the frantic manigyrismous Partisan and anathema to those of Red Star. For the eleventh consecutive year, Partizan won the "Reds" to "Maracana". Information that in Serbia the process of Doping control is still unknown, perhaps to explain-maybe not-the superiority of "black". As it anyway, Partizan won the derby and the players left with ... underpants from the stadium.
