Inter Ultras plot 'peaceful invasion'
Thursday 15 May, 2008

Inter director Ernesto Paolillo is sad to see away fans banned from the Stadio Tardini and it seems the Curva Nord Ultras will head to Parma anyway.

It was confirmed this morning that away supporters will not be allowed to watch Inter’s Scudetto decider away to Parma this Sunday.

After Roma fans were prevented from travelling to Catania, it was deemed unfair for the Nerazzurri to have the benefit of support at the Stadio Tardini.

“I’m disappointed not only that our followers can’t got to Parma, but also that Roma fans can’t go to Catania,” Inter official Paolillo moaned.

“For the good of football, the fans of all teams should be able to go to the stadium to watch games.

“We didn’t want any privileges or favours, but just that Roma and Inter should be allowed to play in front of their supporters on Sunday, so this decision has really upset us.”

However, it appears that Inter’s Ultras are ready to make the trip to Emilia-Romagna against express police advice.

“From within this chaos that reigns, the Curva Nord wants to confirm the only certainty – the Inter fans will be there,” a statement on their website reads.

“It’s clear that on Sunday, like it or not, there will be a Nerazzurri invasion that will be absolutely peaceful and our voices will roar inside or outside the stadium.

“They can’t think that the 60 miles that separate Milan and the Inter fans from the possibility of winning a Scudetto can be an obstacle.

“The wish that we have heard from thousands of emails and phone calls is to welcome the players as they arrive and leave the ground, even if we can’t go inside.”
