This happened yesterday, 24 hours before a Romanian top flight match between Rapid Bucharest and Petrolul Ploiesti.
Rapid are in a difficult financial situation, they were forced to let some of their best players go because they couldn't afford their wages any more. At this time there are several semi-pro youngsters in the team and they can't hope for more than a mid-table place. Moreover, some of the players have not received their wages in months. But their fans are awesome.
Here's what happened: the players had arranged to go to the cinema to watch a movie the day before the match. The fans found out, contacted the club manager and arranged to buy all the remaining tickets. The movie was about to start when the fans started singing the club anthem:
Needless to say that most of the players had tears in their eyes at the end of this display of passion and unconditional love.
