Persebaya Surabaya (Persatuan Sepakbola Surabaya) is an Indonesian soccer team located in Surabaya, East Java. In 2006, Persebaya played in the First Division of Liga Indonesia and now back to the top league of Liga Indonesia.
The supporters of Persebaya are known as Bonek (Bondo Nekat). They are known for their eccentric way of supporting Persebaya. They usually go by train with small budget to the opponent’s homebase. The great thing of Bonek is their loyalty to Persebaya. They always stay and support Persebaya by causing all sorts of riots and fights with the opposing teams’ supporters.
Bonek terms, acronyms of the Java language Bondho Nekat (reckless capital), usually directed at a group of supporters or supporters teams Persebaya, although there is a formal group that is supporting these teams Surabaya Supporters Foundation (YSS).
Bonek term, was first raised by the Daily Morning Post Java in 1989 to describe the phenomenon Persebaya fans who flocked to Jakarta in large numbers. Traditionally, Bonek is the first Indonesian supporters who mentradisikan away supporters (soccer supporters who accompanied the team come to the pujannya other cities) as in Europe. In the process, supporters were also accompanied by the action fight with supporters of the opposition. No one knows the origin, Bonek become radical and anarchist. If we look back to the reference year 1988, when 25 thousand Bonek leave from Surabaya to Jakarta to watch the final Persebaya – Liverpool, there are no riots whatsoever.
Traditionally, Bonek have opponents, as befits supporters abroad. As the era of the union, the traditional opponent supporters Bonek is Bobotoh PSIS Semarang and Bandung. League in the era of Indonesia, the traditional opponent is Champions Malang, supporters of The Jak Liverpool , and fans of Man Macz PSM Makassar. In the era Ligina, Bonek can instead make peace with Bobotoh Arsenal Supporters PSIS Bandung and Semarang.
Several events caused chaos “Bonek mania” among others, is violence in the game Copa Dji Sam Soe between Persebaya against Arema Malang on September 4, 2006 at Stadium November 10, Tambaksari, Surabaya. Besides destroying the glass at the stadiums, the supporters of this Persebaya also burn a number of cars outside the stadium include a television station owned car quiz, Telkom’s car, a car belonging to the TNI Navy, an ambulance and a public car. While dozens of other cars damaged. Commission on Discipline PSSI about this incident has dropped penalty (before appeals) and are prohibited to compete in East Java for a year to Persebaya, then entered the stadium ban anywhere in Indonesia to the Bonek for three years.
Around August 2006, Bonek had five times get a sanction because following the behavior of those who always entered the field when the game against Persis Solo Persebaya in the final of division one. Ironically, in 2005, it would be punished Persebaya degraded to division one back, due round of 8. The Party reasonably to protect the club in order not to hurt Bonek.
But act Bonek not always anarchist, when Persebaya teams lose. In 1995, when Ligina II, defeated Putra Samarinda Persebaya 0 to 3 in Gelora 10 November. But no Bonek completely berserk. The Bonek just yells out insults Persebaya coach who wants to retreat.
While still in Division I, never bent PSIM Persebaya 1 to 2 at home. At that time there are no riots. In fact, if look at the facts of history, relations with PSIM Persebaya fans got worse, following the death of one of the supporters of Persebaya in riots, when the union before.
The term appears Bonek sudden and large because the media, as well as a good in beginning which gradually shifts precisely understanding and ultimately more negative connotations. Still remember the first time how “the post of Java” with the coordinator Dahlan Iskan Cak, ever dispatch hundreds of buses, train cars and dozens of aircraft flying to Jakarta.
Tret.. tret.. tetttt… the stretcher that was the theme in 1988 Post Java’s. And for fans of popular titles Persebaya time was ‘Green Force’. Enthusiasm not only from surabaya alone, but also come from major cities in East Java. Even in a field in Java for 7 days post there comments consecutive always impressions of the participants “Tret tret tett” a written reply with a photo of the participants along with they address.
The enthusiasm from the post of Java until the head line news writing “Hijaukan senayan” and response from surabaya community and EAST JAVA very extraordinary . In the story there is reply “There are up to pawn his motor cycle, sell TV, Tape, a jewelry of his wife, and other household equipment, many young people reply must first singing in public just for to be able to visit senayan!!. Capital’s commitment to the spirit ‘Hijaukan senayan’ so passionate. While yg has a mediocre money there is another way of ‘menggandol’ truck in the relay started from Surabaya – Jakarta while singing in the streets.
There was even waygoing far day before the final (Persebaya though not necessarily in the final) The way is ride with a Pertamina train, that train runs like conch…The important they go to the Jakarta. Positive spirit and enthusiasm without any anarchism and mass riots involving many procurer’s thumbs widely in Indonesia at that time. For the record senayan when it was packed with 110 thousand spectators from Surabaya and Bandung!!
Supporters Persebaya own approximately 40% of them (still losing a lot with bandung who’s closer distance). A record number of viewers where perhaps until now not yet solved. Not to mention the heroic spirit of some supporters Persebaya with climbing and crawling to roof building circular senayan, reply was just to spread the super giant banners of green and white paper where’s the writing that read “Red My Blood, White My bones, Unity In my spirits”.
That spirit was justifies any means that makes Persebaya support team came to senayan and make some news media, especially as a forerunner JAPOS began Bonek mengistilahkan (Bondo Nekad), in their writings as that spirit alive and to advance the human spirit needs to have a capital and strong determination. Capital determination or Bondo Nekad (BONEK) or not true as shown by the Bonek generation at this time, Bonek current tends anarchist, daring in the sense that justifies all way and that’s not from the nature of the real Bonek.
Actually, errors are also derived from the previous Bonek that does not leave a legacy the real of Bonek, the media also sometimes participate fanning the reply and even seemed to come to justify. Even Bonek riots had become a livelihood for them, because the news about Bonek course will enhance their newspaper circulation.
Another term from reckless and determination, actually a similar but not equal. The determination is more to the passion to do action, while “reckless” is more to the act they do. Should not “Bondo Nekat” but “Bondo Tekad”… but for ease of pronunciation is more likely to Bondo Nekad aka Bonek.
Football supporters come from Surabaya is known as “Bonek” (Bondho Nekat), who took a train (KA) Pasundan, Surabaya, majoring of Bandung, raged across the region Solo City, Friday.
Thousands of supporters Bonek will watch the game between kesebelasannya, Persebaya against Persib, in Bandung.
As the train entered the Solo area, they are seen throwing stones from inside the train with the target is communities and various other places along the train line. They looked crowded with railway Pasundan of eight carriage. In fact, relatively many desperate fans on go to the roof train ride.
