Lazio, The Curva Nord Press Release: «Here’s What We Ask Lotito»
The Curva Nord of Lazio, through an official statement, wanted to express its dissent after the recent demonstration against president Claudio Lotito. Below is the message from the passionate Biancocelesti fans:
The Customization of the SS Lazio
According to the fans, Claudio Lotito transformed Lazio into a company in his image, using it to satisfy his economic and image needs. This management, characterized by a strong sense of megalomania and sinister personalism, is accused of canceling 124 years of history and passion. The Curva Nord reiterates its decision to continue the protest, which already began with a demonstration that saw over 15,000 people in the square last June 14th.
Attendance at the Stadium
Contrary to what Lotito might wish, the fans intend to remain present at the stadium. In fact, leaving the stands would reduce dissent, giving the president free rein to exploit the situation, portraying the fans as disinterested. The presence of 40,000 supporters, on the contrary, ensures that dissent is visible and not exploitable. According to the ultras, the stadium is essential for passing down values and passion to future generations and for continuing to support the team.
Boycott of Official Merchandising
The Curva Nord urges fans not to purchase official SS Lazio material. This action would directly affect the club’s economic balance sheet without alienating supporters from the team. Recent years have seen a decline in quality in merchandising, which is why it is recommended to rely on professionals who really know the world of Lazio. Hitting merchandising would reduce the company’s clean revenue and fuel tensions in partnerships.
Challenge to Mediocrity: The Requests to Lotito
After two decades of provincialism, the Curva Nord asks Claudio Lotito to put SS Lazio up for sale. Fans are tired of settling for mediocrity and a lack of sporting growth. A non-existent planning approach is criticized, based only on tidy accounts and compulsive savings. La Curva also highlights how, in the space of three months, two coaches have resigned, a record for a Serie A team. The request is clear: a change of management to aim for a more ambitious and transparent policy.
Additional Points of Contention
Do not subscribe to Pay-TV
The Curva Nord invites fans not to subscribe to pay-TV services such as DAZN and Sky, whose proceeds amount to 70 million euros for Lazio. Less participation would affect the appeal of the team in the eyes of sponsors, encouraging fans to experience the matches together, so as to reduce connected devices.
Strengthening Marketing
Lazio’s marketing sector is considered inadequate. It is unacceptable, according to the fans, that there are no official shops in the main streets of Rome, thus damaging the image of the club and the service to local fans. La Curva proposes initiatives to protect the image of the team.
Youth sector
Finally, the lack of pitches on Roman territory is highlighted as a critical point, with children often affiliated with other extra-territorial teams or clubs. This creates a negative gap, undermining the growth of future assets and the Lazio spirit in the new generations.
In short, the Curva Nord fans are calling for a radical change of management, inviting Claudio Lotito to sell SS Lazio to put an end to what they define as twenty years of mediocrity and provincialism.
