Cilj je ovog rada obnoviti sociološku raspravu o problemu nogometnih navijača u Hrvatskoj nakon dva desetljeća nepostojanja terenskih istraživanja, i to u četiri koraka: prvo, objašnjavanjem promjena u hrvatskom društvu; drugo, davanjem kratkog pregleda promjena u modernom nogometu; treće, opisom teorijskog i metodološkog okvira hrvatskih istraživanja provedenih u prošlosti i opisivanjem suvremenog teorijskoga konteksta u kojemu se odvijalo naše vlastito istraživanje; četvrto, predstavljanjem preliminarnih rezultata našeg istraživanja koje je provedeno unutar projekta FP7 MYPLACE (Memory, Youth, Political Legacy and Civic Engagement). Hrvatsko društvo prošlo je kroz bolan proces rata i tranzicije, a nogometni navijači ojačali su svoju ulogu društvenih aktera, posebno u svjetlu vlastite formalne organiziranosti, nezamislive u jednopartijskom sustavu, i s obzirom na vlastite društvene akcije poput protesta, bojkota, demonstracija, peticija i drugih oblika otpora lokalnim i nacionalnim političko-ekonomskim elitama novog potrošačkog društva. ; The aim of this paper was to re-introduce the issue of football supporters in Croatia, after two decades of absence from sociological field research, in four steps: first, by giving a brief explanation of the changes in Croatian society, secondly, by giving a brief overview of changes in modern football, thirdly, by describing the theoretical and methodological framework of Croatian research done in the past as well as by describing the contemporary theoretical context in which our research has been performed, and finally, by presenting the preliminary results of our ongoing research within the FP7 MYPLACE (Memory, Youth, Political Legacy and Civic Engagement) project. Croatian society passed through the painful process of war and transition, and football supporters strengthened their role as social actors particularly regarding their own formal structure which was not imaginable in a one-party system, as well as regarding social actions like protests, boycotts, demonstrations, petitions and other forms of resistance to the local and national political-economic elites of the new consumer society.

As opposed to the discourse marking the division between the subculturalists and the post-subculturalists, we hold that subculturalisation and tribalisation are essentially the same social process. The process within which the Croatian ultras subculture was formed, took place from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. Nationalism and violence are broadly acknowledged as the main features of this new subcultural style in socialist Yugoslavia. However, to fully understand the process it is necessary to study broader spectrum of influences and relationships between actors on the social scene. Therefore we put emphasis on the interaction between football supporters and subcultural styles founded on rock and similar genres of music. This interaction proved to be crucial in anti-establishment and anti-mainstream sensibilities of the emerging football supporter scene. This is particularly important while these sensibilities have remained one of basic characteristics of the ultras subculture in modern Croatia.
