Railways, and the Football Supporters

In Indonesia, football and fanaticism are like two sides of a coin currency keeping inseparable. In many areas, fans flocked to the stadium stands to see and support his favorite team compete on the gridiron. Stadium stands are always filled with fans who are willing to come to the stadium with all efforts. Not only at home, far away party was followed by the fans that move massive amounts of supporting their team pride lead the party away.


Unfortunately fanaticism fans in Indonesia often led to violence among supporters in a variety of forms, ranging from mass tawur, throwing the opponent supporters ride vehicles, sweeping to other supporters and the like. Not infrequently, the vehicle becomes a victim of the unrest due to the behavior of supporters. Among the modes of transport that are victims of the most severe is the train. Iron Horse is frequently subjected to fans who rampage telibat physical conflict.

Is an event in early 2011 where sweeping is carried out by supporters of Lamongan to train Kertajaya, which tragically claimed the lives precisely in the sweeping actors, triggering anger of fans in this city by pelting the passing train. Inevitably, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) is a party that suffered substantial economic losses. The passenger train also became alarmed in case of throwing the train they were traveling.

As a reaction to the riots that happened, PT KAI even issued a threat banning soccer fans take the train. A threat that is understandable, because PT KAI is an entity limited liability industries oriented to the economic benefit.

Trains and football are two things that are interrelated. Football History documentary narrated how the development of modern football is always directly proportional to the introduction of railways in Britain, and then spread to Europe along with the construction of the railroad. The workers who built the railroads and then followed the railroad company workers initiated a football game around the railway station. Whether accidental or intentional, the name also refers to several clubs train, call Locomotive Moscow in Russia.

In Indonesia (Dutch East Indies), the early history of football is also of strike by railroad construction. The founders came from the club PSSI, where they traversed the city by a railway line was built by the Dutch government in the 19th century AD In 1930, PSSI stand set of representatives of Voetbalbond Indonesische Jakarta (VIJ), Bandoengsche Indonesische Voetbal Bond (BIVB ), Association football Mataram Yogyakarta, Vortenlandsche Voetbal Bond (VVB) Solo, Madioensche Voetbal Bond (MVB), Indonesische Voetbal Bond Magelang (IVBM) and SIVB Soerabajasche Indonesische Voetbal Bond (SIVB).

For the record, the railway line in these cities is still active, but the railway line that crosses the city of Magelang which had been buried by the construction of roads and houses after not activated since the 1970s. In cities that are still active train track fire, there are train depot and a large workshop and a large train station as well.

Gathering of railway workers in large numbers allow them to play football in his spare time. Coinciding with this, the spirit of the movement is also being tempestuous struggle among railway workers. Keep in mind also that the founder of the PSSI, Soeratin Sosrosoegendo background also civil engineer who has a spirit of nationalism and interact with the movement of the fighters. From this background, there are similarities between the early development of football in Europe and in Indonesia, where in both these areas the spread of football development is closely related to the industrialization that was raging since the late 19th century AD until the early 20th century AD

As a mode of transportation that is cheap and also can carry passengers in a massive amount, train until today remains an option for the fans to support his favorite team play, especially in away out of the city. Is Persebaya supporters, who later became known as hooligans (bondo reckless) the first time (the first) started the tradition of supporting the out of town teams massively, even the biggest (the biggest), by utilizing the rail. When Persebaya competed in the finals of the mid-1980s, the fans diving Persebaya bus ride away with their rent, and the more massive by train heading to Jakarta, where the final round of the mat.

After this, the train quickly became a favorite means of various groups of supporters for supporting the teams that they are proud of, especially in a live game away. Unfortunately, then train a large contribution in ushering the fans should experience a tragic fate. Throwing the railway carriage to be one form of physical harm suffered by the iron horse.

In fact, if traced, the train had rendered great services to deliver the supporters as well as introducing football to various places, including Indonesia. If so, the saying goes "replied milk with water tubes" could be some truth in the contemporary relation trains and football supporters.
