David Stránský is a system administrator in an IT company in Prague in the Czech Republic.

His passion is football, he is part of the Slavia Ultras, Tribuna Sever (North stand) which are the die hard(est) fans of that club.  He has also established an Ultras group for SS Ostra a 6th tier football club where he and his friends show up with fireworks, megaphones, drums and sing and chant at games. Something that is unknown at football matches at that level.  They travel with the team and sleep on the floors of some of the shittiest hostels around.  Dedication I guess...

We talked about what it is to be a football fan, are all Ultras hooligans? Why do people become hooligans, is it a special type of person?  Why do we have hooligans in rich and highly educated countries (looking at you Netherlands and Denmark). And football clubs as a business vs Ultras, can they coexist?
