Could anyone tell me more about each individual club? For example, history, famous projects, etc.

If possible, I would like to know which one would be the best fit for me if I went to a match. Here's some info about me...

Age: 16
Gender: Male
Language: English, Spanish (Pretty Good), German (Pretty Good), French (A few words)
Experience: I formed my own ultras group for the Columbus Crew soccer club here in the states. We're small, but have grand visions. I have stood with Sam's Army, the US National Team supporters. I have never attended a European football match before.
Politics: Left (I don't know if that would be a factor, it shouldn't, but just in case)

Thank you so much!

ALLEZ PSG!!!

The "Authentiks" would be the best fit for you , they are young ( 15yo to 20 yo ) and very noisy and their stand is not full yet.They are the little brothers of the Supras Auteuil.

Hmmmm. I wouldn't suggest joining the Boulogne Boys...

Unless you like the ruck now and again.

btw: Didn't realise the Authentiks had a spiffy new logo. And a cool site to boot. Is that new? I've never seen it before.

EDIT: December by the looks of it...

Can you give specifics behind each club, for it's advantages and disadvantages? Thanks!

Yep.

But I was thinking more of age, and the type of supporters.

They are far more 'ultra' than say the Supras. Historically, they are the kings of the PSG ultra movement. I think for a young first-timer, joining the BB is not the ideal solution. Maybe when you when are older and have lived in Paris for a while. Then maybe....

Just maybe...

Thanks for the list anyways. I probably couldn't describe them as indepth as you could.

[cass75]

You're right.
But you can find tickets in Boulogne for all games.In Auteuil,it will be very difficult for Legion04 ( Except if he wants to stand in G with the Authentiks ).

[cass75]

I forget to mention that the red ones were the non-official groups called in Paris :les indep' ( the independents ).

[Legion04]

Thank you very much for the background on the supporters clubs. I do have another question though, what's the difference between Virage and the Kop. I just want a supporters club that has passion, doesn't get involved in conflicts, loud, artistic, and fun-loving.

I also didn't know that the different clubs had quarrels with others. How did those start? Along with that, if they aren't on good terms, how do they coordinate massive projects together?

Thanks again !

Allez Paris Saint-Germain!!!
