Gate 4 (Greek: Θύρα 4) is the most popular organized supporters group of the Greek multi-sports club PAOK. The group has played an important role in the club's course over the years affecting the club's decisions. They mostly wear black and white symbols and clothes, which are the colors of the club.
PAOK always had great support from fans all over Greece. Before the foundation of Gate 4 there were various football supporters' clubs all around Greece. PAOK's first fan association was the club from Neapoli district of Thessaloniki, founded in 1963 and considered one of the oldest in Europe. Gate 4 officially founded on 25 September 1976, but operated unofficially from April of the same year, taking its name from the homonymous 4th gate of the Toumba Stadium, from where PAOK's hard-core fans watched the games. The organized supporters' movement of PAOK counts over 120 groups in various parts of the world, in Greece, Cyprus, Australia, Belgium, United States, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. The headquarters of the organization is the so-called "Low-ceilinged", located on 39, Palaion Patron Germanos street in Thessaloniki.
Toumba Stadium, home stadium of PAOK Football Club, is infamous for its hostile atmosphere, a factor that led to the attribution of the Stadium as "The Black Hell". On high-profile encounters, when the players walk out of the tunnel, the song Hells Bells by AC/DC is heard from the stadium's speakers. Also, one of the biggest banners in the world was created by Michaniona fan club.
Friendships:
PAOK supporters' groups consider Grobari, the organized supporters group of the Serbian football club Partizan Belgrade a friendly group. On many occasions, fans from both clubs traveled to watch each other's games. They also maintain good relations with the fans of Russian CSKA Moscow.
PAOK fans also have good relations with the fans of OFI Crete, a friendship that started in 1986 when OFI's fans founded the organized fanbase under the same rituals as with PAOK's (same naming, and mostly because both clubs have many similarities). In October 1987, when OFI faced Atalanta for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup at Toumba Stadium, fans from both Gate 4 counterparts supported the Cretans.
Rivalries:
The rivalry between Olympiacos and PAOK, is long-standing, emerging in the 1960s, when Olympiacos unsuccessfully tried to acquire Giorgos Koudas from PAOK, approaching him directly without going into a negotiation with his club.
A long-time rivalry also exists between PAOK and local rivals Aris. Panathinaikos and AEK, Athens' two big clubs, are also considered major rivals.
