GdS: “Regina excluded from B: 2000 people took to the streets to demonstrate”

Regina expelled from B: 2,000 demonstrated Southern newspaper.

At least two thousand fans gathered in Piazza Duomo yesterday afternoon. Seeing so many people dressed in amaranth at such a difficult moment showed once again how deep the city’s connection with its football team is.

Yesterday afternoon, a demonstration organized by Curva Sud presented a picture of a wounded but still strong and alive regginism. The choruses that made the air of Reggio Calabria vibrate are a sign of a football life that nourishes a hope that is still alive. The flags did not stop fluttering for a minute. These were the scenes that gave moments when the beauty of the images managed to distance itself from a particularly disturbing temporal context.

“Football,” Arrigo Sacchi once said, “is the most important of the least important.” A concept that finds an almost natural sublimation in Reggio Calabria. A city that will have more serious problems, but will not want to lose one of its main means of promotion, as well as a reality that can guarantee a lot of induced activity in a chronically troubled economic situation. Especially if you play in such an important category as Serie B. The event was a clear signal of the mood of the area.

Residents of Reggio feel a little lost, left without direction and worried about the worst, which is no longer a distant hypothesis. Over the last month, they have seen so many question marks come up and receive very few answers. Despite everything, they feel they have been hurt by the mocking expulsion and hope that the door to B will be reopened through appeals. Other speakers on stage were Deputy Francesco Cannizzaro, Acting Mayor Paolo Brunetti, Metropolitan Mayor Carmelo Versace and Sport Managing Director Giovanni Latetella.
