How passed Gypsies (Delije) and Grobari only they know, Torcida Split was totally destroyed, and fans of Priština massacred. Firma Novi Sad twice arrived in Skopje and always passed without incident for the simple reason that with them had good relations. Through their existence they left significant seal in the history of Vardar and with their support at the matches they have always been the 12th player of the team. 'Komiti' have followed Vardar on many away matches in former Yugoslavia, all over Macedonia and everywhere across Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word supporters:
“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)
“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)
