This article uses elements of postmodernist spatial theory to explain aspects of ethnic identity among a group of soccer 'hooligans' who follow a traditionally Croatian-based team in Australia's premier soccer competition. While not supporting the practices of vilification evident in the group, the article seeks to understand the significance of such practices from the subcultural perspective of its members. To this end Soja's concept of 'Thirdspace' and Bhabha's related concept of 'third space' are used to explain how members of the group found a metaphorical space within the soccer stadium to construct a unique social identity
