Napoli eager to reopen
Napoli are desperate to open the Stadio San Paolo to season ticket holders as soon as possible, according to director general Pierpaolo Marino.
The stadium was not included in the list of venues allowed to host spectators after the new safety laws were implemented and the Azzurri were forced to face Piacenza on Saturday in an empty arena.
"We have been working for about a year to renovate the facility in order for it to meet the safety measures," Marino told Radio Anch'io Sport.
"I don’t know when we will be able to reopen, but we are doing all we can to allow our season ticket holders to return to the stands as soon as possible," added the official.
Napoli’s stadium, as well as many others all over the peninsula, had bypassed the 2005 Legge Pisanu thanks to a special permit granted by the local Chief of Police, but that was revoked after last week’s events in Catania.
"We had been granted a pass, but we had kept on working hard nonetheless, agreeing to pay in advance as the town council did not have the money," explained Marino.
"We have ordered the turnstiles needed and they should be delivered shortly. The revocation of the permission we had been granted obviously created some problems.
"In the meantime, we will refund season ticket holders for the matches they will not be allowed to attend, although I don’t think money is the problem.
"The real damage, that cannot be refunded in any way, is that they will not be able to be close to the team," concluded the club official.
