Fiorentina fans boycott Napoli trip

Fiorentina fans are boycotting their away match at Napoli.

Viola supporters are abandoning the trip to Naples in protest after discovering they'd been assigned only 30 tickets.

"Our association, along with the Centro Coordinamento Viola Club and the Collettivo della Curva Fiesole, had filled five coaches for the away game at Napoli," explained Walter Tanturli, President of the Associazione Tifosi Fiorentini.

"We would've brought a total of 250-300 people to the San Paolo on Saturday.

"However, we were told that the authorities in Naples had released only 30 tickets for the travelling fans.

"As this is an insufficient number to satisfy the requests - which I'd like to point out were around 300 and not 3,000.

"Therefore we all decided together to reject this offer of 30 tickets and not make the trip to Naples on Saturday."
