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:
“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)
“The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opponents than from his fervent supporters. For his supporters will push him to disaster unless his opponents show him where the dangers are. So if he is wise he will often pray to be delivered from his friends, because they will ruin him. But though it hurts, he ought also to pray never to be left without opponents; for they keep him on the path of reason and good sense.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“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)
