Abete unsure of future
Monday 12 November, 2007
Italian Football Federation President Giancarlo Abete is refusing to rule out a suspension of the Serie A season or a ban on travelling fans.
Calcio is once again in crisis after the accidental shooting of a Lazio fan by a police officer led to violent protests from Ultras across the peninsula.
It was a very sad day, Abete told Radio Anchio Sport. We need to take stock of public opinion and have meeting between all the areas of the game.
I dont know what will happen and it seems risky to say anything now, but there is a problem that goes beyond a possible suspension of the championship.
Aside from a possible hiatus in the Serie A campaign, Abete discussed whether or not away fans would be allowed to attend games.
You cant solve a problem just by banning people, he stressed. The answer isnt to stop people watching football
As far as travelling fans are concerned we are looking at public safety before we make any decisions
Im not ready to think that in 10 years time there will be a situation where you can only watch your team on TV.
