“The fact that the penalty is divided in half – continued the mayor – even if positive, does not pay a company that has been badly damaged due to the facts and events to which it has nothing to do. This is why we are not satisfied while knowing, however, how the evaluation of the second level of judgment of the abnormality of the first judgment, excessive punishment for the Reggio Calabria team and its fans”.
“In any case – he continued – the possibility of playing the next game in Pentimele, even behind closed doors, will not only avoid damage but even more insult to the Reggio club. We are sure, however, that no one and nothing can stop the ride of coach Cadeo’s boys who, until now, played a season worth remembering that made the hearts of Regio people who love the ball.
