Fans

The supporters of organised Colligiana began in September 1977, thanks to Team "Guelfi Colle", that was like driving the white and red cheer until 1983, when they took over "the shock wave, which, after some years, in the early nineties due to some internal divisions broke up. His place was then taken from the "Youth red and white" (born in 1985) which still represents the organised supporters of Colligiana.

Record attendance, with 4361 attendance in league IV Series 1952–53, during the derby with of Siena, won by Colligiana with the result 2–1. Another victory over Siena in Serie C, then in a friendly game of 1987, result of 1–0 with a network of Ilium Giovannetti. A fact which has increased this old rivalry dates back to summer 2000, when the city council decided to remove the lily from the patch, unleashing the wrath of many Colle. Many citizens felt that Hill's decision came, taxation "policy-banking" as a real "coup against the old traditions" Colle who have always considered a pillar of the Florentines. Just from the summer of 2000, fans of Colligiana often sing "Hill has been and will remain lily" to emphasise that the old traditions are not touching. During the friendly Colligiana-Siena rivalry of 2007, there have been moments of tension and teasing between the sides.

The Gracciano was founded by Aldo Grasso in 1964, graccianesi precisely because they wanted a strong club that was only Gracciano graccianesi and "independent" from Colligiana (the "too close relations" between the two companies have often vexed sports Colle, is both white and red-white), while loving the city and although filofiorentini as red and white fans. So we can say that Colle di Val d'Elsa (like all big cities) reality always has two football "in bell" between them even if the rivalry is much more felt in the house-white.
