Podcast: Behind the scenes with Zagreb ultràs

White Angels Zagreb fans [Credit: Andy Hodges]

Dr. Andy Hodges spent years in or around the Zagreb fan scene, in particular looking at two distinct groups, the Bad Blue Boys of Dinamo Zagreb and the White Angels of NK Zagreb. What he found makes fascinating listening and he summarises his findings in his book, “Fan Activism, Protest and Politics: Ultras in Post-Socialist Croatia“.

We also discuss the fan cultures of Pula and Split.
