ANCONA Advance sales for Ancona-Lucchese are suspended. A real bolt from the blue that struck yesterday on the long eve of a match long awaited by the Doric fans. A match now seen as a sort of light at the end of the long dark tunnel that Ancona has had to go through in this troubled season with various types of complications. In addition to the technical-tactical difficulties, the somewhat disturbing transfer sessions, the succession of three coaches, and the resignation of the sporting director, the disciplinary issue has also arrived.
The Observatory
The National Observatory on sporting events took care of stirring things up in Ancona when everyone’s attention, club, team and fans, was already focused on the most important match of the year. A match that in case of victory for the red and whites is worth direct salvation. The aforementioned Observatory has sent a circular on the risks to the competent bodies with which it orders “the identification of adequate rigorous measures” for next Sunday’s match. As a result, Ancona was forced to suspend the pre-sale of tickets pending the decisions that will be taken in the specific meeting scheduled for this morning at 11 in the Prefecture in which all the various components of the Gos, the Security Operational Group coordinated by an official, participate. of Police designated by the Police Commissioner who brings together the various bodies that deal with the safety of the event.
In the official statement issued yesterday by Ancona, in addition to the suspension of the presale, the statement by the CEO Roberta Nocelli is reported which confirms the “possibility of a measure due to the events that occurred last Sunday during the Pescara-Ancona match”. Nocelli will participate in the meeting in the Prefecture as a party “to discuss the limiting decisions taken by the Observatory on sporting events concerning Ancona-Lucchese”. In practice, the motivation for these “adequate rigorous measures” lies in the excesses that occurred among the fans last Sunday at the end of Pescara-Ancona for which both clubs were fined two thousand euros each.
The scenarios
The ball passes to the Gos who will have to decide what measures to take tomorrow morning. The field of hypotheses is varied, ranging from a simple warning to a warning, the closure of a sector or, in the worst case scenario, the match being played behind closed doors. All that remains is to wait for tomorrow’s decisions from the Gos, in the hope that common sense will prevail, taking into account that the match against Lucchese, given the small number of fans following, cannot be classified as being at risk and that prohibiting entry could create a delicate situation outside the stadium also because the Doric fans in Pescara are not guilty of such serious sins as to provoke draconian interventions.
There were certainly some bruises among the police after the match and investigations are underway which also concern the Pescara fans. As reported by the Pescara Police Headquarters, Digos has in fact started the investigation to identify the alleged perpetrators, also through the analysis of the images extrapolated from the video surveillance system of the Adriatico stadium and the surrounding areas.
