Udine-Trieste, only 84 tickets for guests: the harsh response of the Curva Nord

On Sunday, April 12, the Apu Old Wild West Udine-Pallacanestro Trieste challenge is scheduled at Carnera. The two-way ball is set for 4 p.m. A very heartfelt derby, which everyone cares about in a special way, starting with Pedone, president of the Friulian club: “I expect a very high intensity challenge, but above all a great show for the whole regional and national basketball movement, thanks to the transport and involvement of the public,” his words to Messaggero Veneto.

No doubt that the home crowd will be warm and ready to support the team throughout the game but, on the other side, there will not be so much support. The reason? The technical table of the city of Udine has yes given the okay to the presence of guest fans but in a decidedly small number.

In fact, only 84 tickets available for the fans of Pallacanestro Trieste, that is the current capacity of the guest sector of PalaCarnera. A decision that sparked an endless series of controversies. From Trieste they recalled that, for the first leg challenge at PalaRubini, as many as 300 coupons were made available to Friulian fans.

The Curva Nord, that is, the organized supporters of Pallacanestro Trieste, let it be known that they will not be present at PalaCarnera. This is the harsh communiqué: “We will not stand for these conditions. 84 tickets and other impositions are a joke. Curva Nord communicates that it will not participate in the next derby. To All Triestini we give appointment at 12 noon on Sunday in Via Miani to load the team for departure. Those who will decide to go to Udine, out of respect for our choice, please do not show up with group material.”
