Lecco case, mayor says: “Real sport is stronger than bureaucratic technicality”

Mayor of Lecco Mauro Gattinoni turned to the notebooks of today’s issue Gazetta dello Sport case of the stadium and the subsequent enrollment in Serie B of the Lombards: “The city is in apnea. No one can understand how a well-deserved result on the field can be distorted by the generally accepted rules, which forced the club in a very short time to complete the formalities, which, moreover, were completed with a delay of several hours. A reasonable person cannot really want to subordinate athletic performance to certain things.

Real sport is stronger than bureaucratic technicality.”

Is this the message Lecco wants to send to the top of football?

“Exactly. We are well aware that there are rules, but we also know that this anomaly in registration for the Serie B championship, this slight delay, is not due to Lecco, but to third parties called upon to make decisions in a very short time. I mean first of all the authorities of Padua, to whom the club approached about the stadium and who by right should have carried out checks, taking the necessary time.
