Every games against croatia was an awesome game, there was one game i remember it was either 97 or 98 season it was at knights stadium. the place was packed we were all like sardines in there, anyway hellas and croatia supporters were there from at least 1 hour before the match and i kid you not minimum 50 flares went off before the match even started many more during the match. both sides started lighting flares when the players came out to warm up, both sides were chanting from the moment the fans started rolling up the athmosphere was amazing. i have never been to another match in the nsl with an athmosphere like that game had, not even the 1991 final came close (better crowd than the final against carlton). Best part about the match apart from hellas winning was there was no trouble or aggravation between the supporters. the match itself was of the best quality. those were the days, now hellas vs croatia you are lucky to get a crowd of 2000 at either ground.
