Check out Felipe Neto’s petition, which asked for support from other Botafogo fans
“The Initial Petition follows asking that the courts not allow the 2nd half of the game to take place today, as it will be behind closed doors.
Give it to a lawyer, ask him to edit the data and prints and file the lawsuit.
It is very important that as many people as possible go to court, showing the size of the absurdity that the CBF is doing to the Botafogo fans.
Furthermore, rescheduling this second half will prevent the match against Fortaleza from being postponed, saving thousands of fans who will lose all the money already spent on tickets and accommodation.
If we are to lose, let us fight and show the CBF that we will not accept this nonsense in silence.
Greetings Alvinegras!”
