Ticket ban satisfies Zamparini
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has backed the proposal to ban the block sale of tickets to away fans.
The Italian Government is set to confirm the introduction of various new football security measures following the death of Filippo Raciti on Friday.
Among the many proposals is bringing an end to the block sale of tickets, designed to avoid large groups of visiting supporters organising trips to away fixtures.
"I hope this measure will be useful," Zamparini told Sky TG24. "If there are no visiting fans there should be no need for police to be at the stadium.
"This absence might also decrease the violence inside some of the most fanatic groups, who see the police as their enemy.
"In any case, these criminals must be punished adequately after they are arrested, otherwise all this will never change."
Zamparini added: "We mustn’t forget that supporters today can choose to watch the matches on TV, that was not possible in the past.
"The tickets cost so much also because of the increased expenses that clubs have to face for the security inside the stadiums.
"The Italian Government earns a lot from football thanks to the taxes we pay and this must not be forgotten now that new regulations are needed."
