Supporters
FC KooTeePee used to be perhaps the best supported club in Finland (official "best supporters" award by Finnish Veikkausliiga committee 2004), with notable large followings away from home. KooTeePee fans were considered to be extremely passionate, loyal and genuine, willing to give their all for the team. They always expect the team to repay the compliment and only one hundred (plus something) percent commitment is acceptable. Some of the younger supporters have started singing controversial lyrics of the Finnish semi-professional band, Molo Hasardi. Unfortunately inexperienced and unprofessional management let fans down several times. Current chairman and his organisation (Jukka Vilkki) are obviously closing down the club and its operational activity has been less than visible. As a result of this many previously active and passionate supporters have abandoned FC KooTeePee and are now following the original Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat.

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)

“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)
