Really worth posting.

Hajduk Split celebrate 100 years! Club were founded 13.02.1911. in Prague (Czech Republic) by a group of students from Split and club has played an important part in the city's culture and history. Hajduk fans (Torcida) were organized in 1950 which make them the oldest supporters group in Europe.

Celebration started days before 13.02.2001. Torcida decorated whole city with flags and graffiti.

On Saturday 12th February official celebration started. In Split fans put flag on top of the church and lighted flares.

In Dubrovnik (city 230km south from Split, whole Dalmatia region support Hajduk) group "Torcida Mokošica" lighted few hundred flares and created beautiful pictures!

Exactly in midnight thousands of signal rockets and flares were lighted in the sky over Split. Crazy show! Also almost every city in Dalmatia made similar pyro show, but of course little bit smaller.

Looks fantastic. I followed them in the 80s, Hajduk had a really good squad and were fun to watch. Also produced a number of good national players. Respect.
 
From the title I thought this was a thread about an ability in Street Fighter.

Then I realised it was about a city being on fire..in celebration!?

But fair do's to them. Imagine how mental the council/government would go if United fans turned Manchester red one night.
 
Bitchin' stadium, bitchin' tribute. Well done Hajduk. Still got beat by Shels.
