Delle Alpi to be restructured (14 Viewers)

Which option for the delle Alpi: Restore or Rebuild?

  • Restore = Pisanu/UEFA compliance, 50k seats, same structure, same stands-to-pitch gap

  • Rebuild = 40k seats for brand-spanking new park socking us into debt. (Costs 10x+ more than Restore)


Results are only viewable after voting.

Abete said this in some statement today:

Now the focus will be on removing the possible 'scapegoat’ of crumbling and poorly organised stadiums in Italy. "The priority is prove that we are able to renovate the stadiums even without the European Championships, this is our challenge. Euro 2012 was an opportunity, but not the only one to improve our facilities", he concluded.

The exec did, however, stop short of giving any details of potential Italian central government aid to speed the process along, nor did he outline a plan. FIGC are, however, expected to be formulating a plan to put the bitter disadvantage to sweet use and finally reform and refurbish Italian stadiums so that they reflect the quality of football played inside them.

Here is what Reuters said:

The country's failure to get the European Championship, however, leaves the timetable for change -- especially the structural works -- uncertain.

A winning bid would have given the federation, the government and the clubs a set of deadlines for stadium renovations, which UEFA had asked to be completed by June 2010.

The bid also foresaw the ownership of stadiums being transferred from city councils to the clubs, with the money for renovation being raised privately between clubs and investors.

If this transfer does not take place, the works risk getting bogged down in the old arguments between clubs and councils over who should pay for them, which is the main reason Italy has so many outdated stadiums at present.

As for the three new grounds, only the new Delle Alpi stadium proposed in Turin, which would be part-funded by Juventus, looks certain to go ahead.

The others in Naples and Palermo could be put on ice, particularly now that there is no longer the prospect of a glamorous Euro 2012 stage to showcase them.

we're supposed to be one of the best football leagues in the world, yet looking at acommodation we can't compete with Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, France,...

It's taking a long time for the italian minister of sport to get some insight.

So we will restructure Delle Alpi although Italy failed to host the EC?Hopefully...We are such a traditional club with loads of fans and we have such a fooking stadium. The problem is the Stadium is boring&shitty with that running-track. I'm sure the stadium would be more filled if we rebuild Delle Alpi. But I think about 45.000 places are enough. The fans should be as near as possible at the playing ground.

Sergio Chiamparino, from the Trade Union in Turin said the following:

"The city won't invest one euro in the stadium's restructuring. The stadium is Juve's and they know what to do"

I think you guys should expect more of this, It is should be well known by now that Platini is with the little fish in the pond. He would support them all the way. If I remember correctly, he had "reducing number of teams qualifying to CL from the big leagues" in his agenda of candidacy to UEFA presidency. Though I hate that Italy lost the bid, but I really can't decide if his decision is good for the game as a whole or not.

Too bad we lost our new stadium. But I'm sure there will be a solution, life hasn't ended yet :)

PS. to all those conspiracy theorists, I hope you're kidding about Moratti .. He is Italian too FYI. I hate the guy but I don't blame him for every freaking thing goes around in Italy.
