No trip to Livorno for the Robur fans. The decision of the competent authorities, evidently considering the match at Picchi at risk, has aroused anger and disappointment in the black and white fans, already ready to support Bianchi and his teammates in the most heartfelt match of the season. Just as it had been in the first leg when the old Rastrello was filled with flags, scarves and colors and warmth, as had not happened for a long time.

I Most faithful have their say. "It had been a hypothesis for a few days, but yesterday it became official - they explained in an official statement -: the Juventus fans will not be able to travel to Livorno for the most anticipated away match of the year, despite the Curva and the Club having already filled five buses. There would certainly have been five hundred people in the away section of the Picchi". We honestly cannot understand the reason for the decision taken by Livorno Police Headquarters – the note continues –, if not to simplify their Sunday work. The black and white fans are correct as demonstrated by the many away matches organized over the years, from Serie A to Serie D, passing through the Eccellenza where the security service has always been limited to a few presences, perhaps precisely because the correctness of us fans was recognized. Even in Livorno, where in past years and in any category we have always been present with significant numbers, no incidents have ever occurred, something that cannot be said in the matches played in Siena, as in the first leg, when there were disturbances aimed at the police, almost entirely attributable to the Livorno fans".

The disappointment, beyond the sporting aspect, is for the image that the decision to prohibit the Siena team from travelling, attributes to the Robur people. "Obviously we accept what has been established - conclude the Fedelissimi -, but we reiterate our firm protest that makes a fan base and a city appear to be what they are not. The collaboration requested, in respect of roles, has always been there and this makes it even more bitter to accept a decision that we do not agree with, that penalizes us and that deprives us of what would have been just a day of sport. At least on our part".
