SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE ULTRAS PHENOMENON IN THE CITY OF TIMISOARA

Abstract

The ultras phenomenon in Timisoara has been represented by the gallery of the Politehnica Timisoara football team and has identified itself as „Commando Viola Ultra Curva Sud”. It is not at all a new phenomenon and its analysis implies radiography of the white-violet group. The aim of the present paper is the research on the model of the Timisoara supporter, his or her characteristic features and peculiarities, both as an individual and as a group. The investigation method used in order to collect the research data has consisted of observation and questionnaire. It has been noticed that there are two types of supporters within the group: mere supporters, present at the games in order to encourage their team and the ultras, active members in Commando Viola. The main differences between the two categories of supporters being defined at the identification level: to the ultras, the local team means everything, while to the supporters it means to identify themselves to the concept “to be born in the Banat region”.
