Lazio ultras suspend boycott

Good news for Lazio, as the Curva Nord ultras announced they are suspending their boycott of home games.

It will be active from tomorrow evening's encounter with Juventus.

The supporters of Lazio and Roma have been boycotting matches at the Stadio Olimpico since last year.

They were protesting the introduction of security barriers in the ‘Curve’ – the ends where hardcore supporters stand.

“We are returning to our home to do what we love the most, in other words to cheer on our Lazio,” declared Curva Nord representative Riccardo Rastelli on Radiosei.

“We want to understand better how things are going, to see if we can overcome these barriers. They can invent anything they want, but they won’t stop us supporting our team.

“Often the Curva Nord has taken decisions that were misunderstood at the start, but that’s fine. We return, hoping that we will be allowed to do so.

“We hope this will be a season full of satisfaction for us, for the team and the environment around us. We hope all goes as it should and to see many victories for our Lazio.”

Roma ultras had been expected to suspend their boycott, but renewed it before the season opener against Udinese.
