Protests banners appear during Parma-Milan over Australia game and ticket prices

The Curva Sud decided to make their voices heard again during the game against Parma, protesting against perceived issues.

It was confirmed in the build-up to the match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday night that the Curva would be present in the away section but would remain silent for the first 15 minutes of the game, having voiced anger about the ticket protocol.

During the game, Parma’s ultras took aim at the planned game between Milan and Como in Perth, voicing support towards the protests. Their banner read: “Koalas, kangaroos, poisonous snakes. No to Serie A in Australia. Football belongs to the fans.”

The Curva Sud displayed the message: “40 euros. This is not a ‘settore popolare’ (section for the fans).” Sharing the images on social media, the group added: “The only major European league not to have capped tickets in the away sector, with stadiums bordering on decency… shame on you.”
