The organized fans will attend the away matches, while the Fattori could be deserted for the home matches
Below is the long statement (titled “It is no longer a question of dignity but of survival”) signed by Ultras Padova, which follows yesterday’s meeting. The Tribuna Fattori risks, as stated in the text, remaining deserted for the home matches.
Supporting Padova has become INHUMAN! We are one of the most productive, thriving and important cities in the north-east, yet we still find ourselves with the most disastrous and least usable stadium in Italy. WE HAVE TRIED THEM ALL! We fought for the choice of the PLEBISCATE, still considering it the best solution for the sustainability of future clubs, for us fans, for the team, but swallowing a bitter pill. We have observed various “projects” of science fiction renovations of the Euganean “Stadium”, with related services, shopping and sports centers, melted like snow in the sun.
We agreed to move to the East Stand in the hope of modernizing the facility, with the obvious negative consequences of coexistence, both for the regular fans of that sector and for myself. Lastly, we have seen yet another concrete proposal quickly declined, even outside the Municipality of Padua, aimed at abandoning a decrepit, uncomfortable structure without any service, partially under seizure… a plant symbol par excellence of the mismanagement of public money , ours too!
We have always fought, despite everything, to give a future to our fans, with the vision constantly aimed at the new Biancoscudate generations! Everything, everything for the love of the PADOVA 1910 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. THE RESULT? We no longer even have the Tribuna Fattori, a sector in which, for better or worse, we have cultivated a worthy hard core for years. We are relegated, punished, helpless to observe what has become the classic unfinished work Italica. As if the pathetically reduced capacity wasn’t enough, which if you look at the availability numbers ends up favoring any visiting fans in proportion (the only case in Italy), the police headquarters were missing the requirements to modify and make the facility safe. Will the police commissioner be so diligent, as he has often been towards us, to deny us access for next season? The Euganeo stadium is nothing more than the mirror of a 360 degree disastrous situation here in Padua.
