Zamparini slams empty stadiums
Palermo chief Maurizio Zamparini believes that playing Serie A matches in empty stadiums would make this an irregular season.
The Government approved the 13-article decree with the new rules to combat violence, and the strict measures include the fact that stadiums that are not up to code will not be allowed to open to their fans.
To date only four Serie A stadiums fit the Legge Pisanu standard – the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, Stadio Artemio Franchi in Siena, STadio Olimpico in Rome and Stadio Renzo Barbera in Palermo, thus meaning that fans should be allowed into only three fixtures this weekend when the season resumes.
"With matches played behind closed doors, this will be an irregular League," said Zamparini to local television network Telelombardia.
"I think this might generate the opposite result. If they use good sense they will at least allow season ticket holders to access the stadiums, I hope an agreement is found between the authorities and the Lega Calcio."
The Stadio Barbera is one of the few which comply with the Legge Pisanu regulations, as the needed renovation was planned ahead of time.
"In Palermo we cooperated with the town council and the works were completed early and with no rush. Where they did things the ‘Italian way’, you can see the results."
Zamparini then commented on Lega Calcio chief Antonio Matarrese, who he believes should have resigned from his post after the astonishing statements released following the Catania facts.
"He should have left. He has no power inside the institutions, sometimes I really miss my old Lega opponent Adriano Galliani," concluded the Rosanero.
