S.C.F. Hooligans

S.C.F. Hooligans (Sport Club Feyenoord) is a Dutch football hooligan firm associated with Feyenoord. The number of supporters in the year 1990 was estimated at around 350[1] people (often called hooligans). The characteristics are a tattoo on the right forearm, some clothing and a hat.[2] The group consists of a mix of men from different backgrounds, both workers and students and working fathers. There are often two distinct groups: the 'old' hard core (active from the year 1970) and the 'new' hard core (active since 1990 and violent), also known as Feyenoord third generation Rotterdam (FIIIR).[3]

After this there came a third younger group, who frequently used hard drugs. In order to distinguish them, the SCF hooligans sometimes calls themselves 'real S.C.F.' analogy of the Real IRA.[4] Moreover, the distinction between the 'new' hard core and the 'elusive hooligans' are thin: both groups afford football a subordinate role and focus more on riots.
