Supporters
F.C. Copenhagen is the most supported club in Denmark, and it has the biggest fan base in Scandinavia. The official fan club, F.C. København Fan Club (FCKFC), has, of March 2009, more than 20,000 members, which is fewer than in March 2007, the time the fan club had 21,399. FCKFC was founded on 24 October 1991, approximately half a year before FCK played its first match. Furthermore, there are many unofficial "fractions" connected to FCK, and the biggest are Urban Crew, Copenhagen Cooligans and Copenhagen Casuals.. These are also reported to have friendships with fractions from Hamburger SV, Rangers FC and Helsingborgs IF. For the 2006–07 season there were 23,795 spectators on average.
For many years the lower part of the "C-stand" at Parken Stadium, Nedre C, has been the main stand for the supporters of FCK. In 2006 a part of the lower "B-stand" was made a fan section and named Sektion 12 and Stemningstribunen (translates to "atmosphere stand").

Famous quotes containing the word supporters:
“The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
