With 1 win (last February 17th against FeralpiSalò) and five draws (Spice, Modena, Pisa, Parma And Citadel) in the last 13 championship games the vertical collapse of Bari continues which, having started with playoff ambitions, finds itself in a dramatic situation in the standings with 90 minutes left in the championship.
Third last place in cohabitation with theAscoli (who yesterday took a point from Palermo), two points behind Ternana and three give it Spicewith only one of these teams being able to celebrate direct salvation next Friday.
The last day of the championship against Brescia it will be crucial for the Apulians and their possible stay in Serie B, which could also go through the post-season playoffs.
The climate in Bari is really hot, and for two games no one has taken part in the press conferences after the matches. Added to all this is a fan base that blatantly contests the ownership and technical market choices of the Sports Director Ciro Politowho between changes of coaches and two highly disappointing markets, brought Bari from just touching Serie A (denied by a goal from Pavoletti in the 93rd minute of the playoff final with the Cagliari of the last championship) on the verge of a very bitter relegation.
Meanwhile yesterday, as a corollary to a heated situation, the club’s sporting director Ciro Polito was the protagonist of a real attack during his return from Padua with kicks and punches from a small group of red and white supporters. The episode occurred in a motorway service station near Eyebello. An episode, yet another of a season to be forgotten, which further exacerbates the gap between the Bari fans and this club in a season to be archived as soon as possible, hoping for salvation at the last minute.
