Ultras prepare picnics
While some stadiums will host games behind closed doors this weekend, supporters are planning anything from protests to picnics outside the gates.
The clampdown on security in the wake of the Catania rioting has seen several venues fail new laws, although San Siro has been able to negotiate an agreement to let in Milan season ticket holders only for the match against Livorno after installing 28 turnstiles.
The Serie B Week 23 games was played today with only five of the 11 stadiums allowing in the fans, but it proved to be far from a silent weekend.
A group of Napoli Ultras protested outside the Stadio San Paolo as their team beat Piacenza 1-0 to go top of the table.
A small number of the tifosi were accompanied into the stands by police to lay out a banner for the players that read: ‘The law divides us, our grit unites us. Keep going to the bitter end lads – Curva A.’
Around 200 Juventus fans travelled to Vicenza, despite the Turin club refusing to take its allocated 1,000 away tickets. They hung up banners, chanted their support and played football among themselves while the Bianconeri drew 2-2 in the Stadio Menti.
There were similar scenes in Brescia – where fans sang, drank beer and ate pizza – and Pescara, while a group of 50 Udinese fans have announced plans to travel to Florence for tomorrow’s game and eat a picnic outside the Stadio Franchi with 1,000 Fiorentina supporters.
The Presidents made a gesture of their own in Serie B. Modena patron Alfredo Amadei sat in the stands of the Curva Montagnani, where the hardline Ultras usually reside, while his team lost 3-0 to Albinoleffe. Triestina President Stefano Fantinel did the same at the Stadio Nereo Rocco.
