Fiorentina v Napoli: only 380 away tickets, fans protest | OneFootball

On Saturday at 8:45 PM, Napoli will be hosted by Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi. Initially, the Viola had decided to close the guest section; subsequently, they allowed its opening, granting only 380 tickets to the Azzurri fans. The Ultras from Naples protested, condemning the decision of the Tuscan club and pointing the finger at their own club for not protecting its supporters.

Fiorentina-Napoli, the Curves' Protest: “Unacceptable to Participate in a Lottery”

Complaints from the Azzurri fans ahead of the trip to the Artemio Franchi against Fiorentina. There is much anger over the decision of the Tuscan club, which had previously closed the guest section, only to reopen it, allowing the sale of just 380 tickets. We know that Napoli fans make their presence felt wherever their team plays, and that is why they find this limitation unfair. Below is the official statement released by the Ultras leaders of the two Curves, A and B:

“72 hours before the trip to Florence comes the decision to open the section to residents in Campania. However, the availability of only 380 tickets for guests is confirmed. We find it unacceptable to participate in a real lottery, which risks penalizing the majority of the young people who would like to honor the trip to Florence in the best way. We are tired of decisions that are changed suddenly and are discriminatory towards the ultras movement. We are struck by the complicit silence of SSC Napoli, which continues to be a winning model on the field, but has yet to learn to give proper consideration to its own “main clients.” They talk about models that, however, include careful marketing tools, which guarantee the best “clients” to always be present, without having to participate in impromptu lotteries alongside people who might find themselves, perhaps for the first time, in a guest section. To the gentlemen of the Observatory, we say to rest assured: under these conditions, we are the ones deciding not to be present in Florence, for our groups and for our dignity!”
