Lazio Ultras Announce Stadium Return Against Milan in ‘One Last Act of Love’ | OneFootball

WE FATHERS, CHILDREN, GUARDIANS OF “THAT” HISTORY The history of S.S. Lazio is made by us supporters — that damned history — built by those who love these colours unconditionally, without interests or convenience. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by Fortunato Ballerini, the president who decided to turn the pitch of the Rondinella ground into a great “war garden” to help the people of Rome during the World War I. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by Giorgio Vaccaro, the general who refused a merger out of respect for something that was born pure and has remained so for 126 years. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by those madmen of 1974 who, led by the immense Tommaso Maestrelli, carried the capital’s first team to glory and to its first Scudetto against the overwhelming power of the football lords of the north. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by Eugenio Fascetti who, together with his players, chose to stay — solely out of love — at the helm of a group that saved a club that was being torn apart. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by Sergio Cragnotti, the president who turned the dreams of a people — who stood firm in the stands despite a thousand storms — into reality, taking us to the highest peaks in Italy and Europe. The history of Lazio, that damned history, was written by Vincenzo Paparelli, who died in the stands of the Curva Nord, and by Gabriele Sandri, killed by an executioner — both bound by their boundless love for our Lazio. The history of Lazio, that damned history, is made by us — those who follow it every damned Sunday, support it, love it as the very reason we live.

Only a greedy man with a cold heart could fail to understand the history and the feelings that move these people. And for that reason we have no choice but to leave them alone. But before saying goodbye, we have decided to dedicate one final act of love to this sporting season. We invite all our Lazio brothers to enter and fill every section of the Stadio Olimpico for the match against AC Milan on Sunday the 15th. Let’s give ourselves one last choreographic display. Let’s show our support for the team and the coach. Let’s keep making our dissent heard. Then, for home matches only, we will no longer enter the stadium until the end of the season. It is a very painful decision, one that for the first time will see us away from those stands that are our home. But we believe this is the only way to make this ownership understand that we will not be complicit in their failures. FOR LAZIO. FOR LAZIO FANS. FOR OUR HISTORY.
