Support

Czarni Radom fans in 2001–12 season

Initially cheering for volleyball was created by fans Radomiak, first in the hall in Sadków (Radom), then in Broń Radom Hall (now the MOSiR Hall).[4] The first steps to create a Fan Club Czarni Radom supporter started at the beginning of 1999.[5]

In 2003–07, they were supporters without a club. They were conflicted with Jadar Radom because the club did not continue the history and tradition of Czarni Radom that had gone bankrupt. Since 2005 they were not allowed to watch all matches of Jadar.[6] Through their activity, in 2007, a newly formed association RCS became the successor of the club from 1921.

Their motto is: "The tradition that has survived in our hearts – we are faithful to colors, always dedicated to Czarni Radom".
