Fans
The first time, when a large group of people who support the team with flags, scarves and songs started in the end of the 70's and the early 80's. Then the so-called differentiated English Sector of the stadium, was named 'Ninth September'. So because of traditions, and to this day the fans of Chernomorets Burgas are considered old school and one of the oldest and traditional fans in Bulgaria. Full 2000-3000 people at each match, the English Sector became emblematic in the city and in the whole country for its devoted supporters.
However, the importance of the match determines to a large extent the number of fans visiting the stadium. And while meaningless games had 20 000 people, the unbeaten record to this day remains a semifinal match of the Cup of Bulgaria against Levski Sofia in Haskovo in 1989. Around 7,000 supporters from Burgas filled the stadium in the southern city to see a 3:1 victory and a final ranking for the Cup, ensuring the club's participation in the European club tournaments.
In 1998, a group of supporters of Chernomorets decided to officially join in the partnership, with creating the fanclub Blue Sharks. Roughly at the same time began the separation of certain groups and factions, mainly conceptual or with district basis. The fanclub doesn't maintain close relations with any of the organized supporters of other Bulgarian teams, but it has better relations with the fans from other countries across Europe. Good connections with the Blue Sharks have the supporters of PAOK F.C. and their prominent fanclub GATE4, which prepared and even had a cooperation agreement also with the Dutch ADO Den Haag.
On October 22, 2009 Krassimir Balakov officially opened a pub and a fan shop for the fans of Chernomorets Burgas. From 2012 it's closed.
In November 2012 it was created united fanclub called United Fanclub of Supporters of the Chernomorets Burgas - Blue Sharks.

“My beautiful, my own
My only Venicethis is breath! Thy breeze
Thine Adrian sea-breeze, how it fans my face!
Thy very winds feel native to my veins,
And cool them into calmness!”
