‘A new chapter’ – Mazzara looks into latest issue between Curva Sud and Milan

In the past year, there have been several issues between the Curva Sud and AC Milan. Now, another has emerged.

There has been a lot said about the Curva this season, especially with them effectively banned at the start of the season. The loss of the group was felt easily, with away fans being the voice of San Siro. So, they were brought back.

A few weeks later, the banners returned, but it was not long before another issue arose. Before the derby, a banner was banned, and this caused them to hit out against the club for a lack of support.

Latest issue

This week, another meeting took place, with another banner being rejected, and new security measures arrived as well. Despite this, the Curva were still heard loud and clear throughout Sunday’s game, but whether any other statement will be made – like the one post-Inter – is yet to be seen.

Pietro Mazzara looked into the situation for MilanNews.

“The Curva Sud issue, a new chapter. On Saturday evening, following Thursday’s Gos meeting that also rejected the Axum banner, new security measures came into effect, valid only for Gate 14, which has become a sort of bunker.

“In addition to preliminary checks, the following procedure now applies at the second blue gate: handheld check, inspection, and a second police check, all of which are combined with a ban on name changes, as if ticket touting didn’t exist in other sections of the stadium.

“Furthermore, there were over 30 stewards wearing lighted vests to stand out, while elsewhere there was nothing. Visually, they resembled those Christmas lights you put on balconies just to illuminate them during the holiday season.

“Despite this, the Curva continued to make their voices heard for the team, creating an ever-increasing atmosphere of enthusiasm. It’s a shame that many AC Milan clubs didn’t join the initiative to not put up the banner. A shame, really.”
