The dislike against BFC Dynamo in stadiums around the country and the hatred of opposing fans welded its supporters together. A unique hooligan scene with groups, structures and training rooms would emerge at the end of the 1980s. A group of 500 hooligans of BFC Dynamo raided a gas station in Jena and attacked the Volkspolizei in connection to an away match in November 1989. The disorder at the stadium would not cease and the match was eventually interrupted. The riots in Jena caught rare attention by East German state media, which until then had been relatively silent about football related disorder.
