Pigeonho said:Purely out of interest, what are Napoli's 'Ultras' called? By that I mean do they have a name? Seen a few documentaries about Italian fans, the Irreduccibili of Lazio, the Drughi of Juventus - have these Napoli Ultras got a name? Is it political like those of Lazio?pete1201 said:Fanny Fart said:Had a great night last night in Naples. Not a hint of trouble whatsoever.
Everybody very friendly, giving us free drinks in bars etc.
Met Paddy V on an evening stroll.
Everyone seems to love Balotelli, even heard a couple of kids trying to sing his song!
FF lets hope it stays that way...I had coffee yesterday morning with some Ultras and they said things shuld be ok ...but that they could not legislate for some of the idiots in the city...they complimented City fans fr the way they were received in Manchester
1st let me tell you Drughi and Irreducibli are pussies of the highest order. Last season about 50 lazio fans were at san Paolo and Juventus not many more. When Dyer did his progs Napoli were in serie C and not considered. When Nap0li travel Italy trembles especially up North...there is no other fans like the Ultras of Napoli not even Roma (in fact they are pussies). With other fans in Italy it is not only football it is a cultural divide. Napoli is a forgotten city and blames its ills on the north and Rome. Neapolitans are proud because they have a culture even more historic than Rome. Napoli will regularly take 5-10,000 to their northern cousins. If you were to tell a Napoli fan to be scared of Drughi or Lazio he would literally p*ss himself laughing.
That said...every fan I have spoken to here and also the London branch could not compliment city enough.....I pray all goes well today...but who knows
