Boycotting making the news - Lazio (1 Viewer)

[Monners]

It probably won't make much difference, but as an awareness raising protest it seemed quite effective. Quite well organised also.

A completely empty stadium bar away fans would never make the news....

Erm... Hello!!! Have you not even read the link?!?!

The home fans that did attend were there to protest (flags and banners)

Sarcasm gents

Shame our fans who attend don't put up banners.

They put up white hankies and wave them.

Their reason for boycott ..........

"Fan anger has grown amid poor league form, a lack of incoming transfer activity and the January sale of playmaker Hernanes to Inter Milan"

Makes you think christ what would it take for the fans that go to sixfields to boycott?!

Makes a mockery of us.

I'm not convinced that Lazio fans would see this as a reasonable summing of their history..





Lazio: a brief history

• Lazio have won two Serie A titles, in 1974 and 2000, as well as six Italian Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup
• Paul Gascoigne played for the Rome club between 1992 and 1995
• Former England boss Sven Goran-Eriksson managed Lazio to their second league title in 2000

"After the sale of Hernanes, around 40,000 fans took part in a protest march"

the only person who protested after the sale of Leon Clarke was Rory Donnelly

 

[ccfcway]

the attendance was still more than our last "home" game !

Why don't you go and put up a banner

Surely a thread about Italian supporters should be in the "Fickle fans" thread....
