<p>Our tifo video series rolls across from <a href="http://pitchinvasion.net/blog/2009/10/29/tifo-video-kv-mechelen-you-are-gold/">Belgium</a> to Switzerland, and we find ourselves in Lausanne, a small French-speaking city perhaps best known as the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee.</p>
<p>Swiss club FC Lausanne-Sport, founded in 1896 and successful for their first half-century, haven&#8217;t won the league championship for other forty years.</p>
<p>Their supporters&#8217; group <a href="http://www.bwfk.com/pages/activites.php">Blue-White Fanatic Kop</a> (BWFK) take their name from Lausanne&#8217;s colours, and their English spelling and use of Kop is indicative of their formation in the 80s, when the influence of English support on the continent was considerable.</p>
<p>The group recently celebrated their twentieth anniversary, and decided to mark it with a pre-game display translating roughly as &#8220;united for twenty years&#8221;. It&#8217;s fairly spectacular, despite the rather noticeably empty stands.</p>
