In an angry speech, the old fan slammed the club, which led to a surprise result.
A fan who is 85 years old went on a very angry rant after hearing that his team was moving home games more than 300 miles away.
While it was being built in 1965, Taranto FC 1927 has played their games at the Stadio Erasmo Iacovone.
The stadium is in Taranto, but the club has to move while a new one is being built there.
So the Serie C team has done something that has angered some fans: they are moving the team 310 miles north to Teramo.
One old supporter, Carmine, was very angry about the choice and let everyone know how he felt during a very angry rant.
He stated: “It’s been 75 years that I’ve been coming to the stadium.”Since I have a season ticket, I should be able to see the games here in Taranto, or at least if they were 40 km away.
I have a few years left, I can’t miss what keeps me living. I enjoy watching my Taranto, so why do you have to break that fun?These are the colours I use. If you don’t fix it, I’ll curse you forever in heaven.”
Carmine cried during his speech, but C. Capuano, the head coach of Taranto, later asked him to join a press conference.
Capuano told Carmine it was an honour to host the fan, and Carmine asked again for the club to stay in its city.
When asked about the plan, Capuano said, “It’s an honour to have this gentleman here who I didn’t know before.” It gives me goosebumps.Not football, but sports from all over the world, not just Taranto. Some kids asked me what they were going to do next year this morning.
“It’s not a plea for Taranto to be safe; it’s for people who live for their own team, whether it’s basketball, football, or handball.” You can’t take away someone’s emotion, not even from a child or this guy.
