In moments when we have to get up, the fans of Florentine they have always been there. La Nazione talked about it this morning, underlining how the sale of tickets for the match with Milan was pulverized in about three days. First the availability ran out in Curva Fiesole, then in the two Parterres and in Maratona, until the Grandstand was full. The Viola club thanked them yesterday for the support, with the stadium sold out thanks to more than 32 thousand (CLICK HERE for the exact number) paying spectators.
With the Curva Ferrovia closed the total cannot go any further, but everything has been scraped together, including those low-visibility tickets put on sale by the club and immediately sold out. Because the event is significant, like years ago against Benevento. The first without Joe Barone brings with it two missions on the part of the Viola people: to pay homage to the memory of the general director and to drag the Italiano team out of the drama. The ultras will give the first charge to the team around 6.45pm, when the bus is scheduled to arrive at the stadium. The meeting point is there, between the gates of Fiesole and Tribuna, where the team bus will stop for a few minutes to welcome the embrace of the people. Then the wait will move inside the stadium. The guys at the curve have been working for days a maxi choreography that will involve Fiesole and Maratona (not something new in the history of lily typhus, but still a significant aspect). It will be displayed before the minute’s silence with the two teams lined up in the middle of the pitch. The Viola will play with mourning on their arms. The other commemorative initiatives are being examined by the club. Joe’s seat will remain empty in the Authority Tribuna, while the snapshots of his five years in purple will scroll on the giant screen.
