about the stadium and why it's empty! It's not just about the running track!
The Juventus fans are furious against Juventus director Antonio Giraudo. The main reason is his plans for the new stadium were the fans will have to sit, and were there will be new and strict rules impossible for the ultras fans to respect. The fans are also angry that so little is done to make more people come to the stadium, discounts, marketing, promotions etc.
The fans think that the Juventus directors care little about if people come to the stadium or not. The important thing for them is all the money they receive from the TV-rights. The fans are specially angry about a sentence that Giraudo said to the press recently: "In Athens there were only 17 Juventus fans, but we still won". What does that mean? That the support from the fans doesn't count? Some fans think that the reduced capacity was decided long ago, and that the directors have raised the prices so that fewer people go to the stadium, and therefore can't complain about the reduced capacity.
The Juventus directors have raised the cost of the prices this season up to 20%. Is that the way to bring more people to the stadium? In fact 4 000 Juventus fans didn't renew their season tickets this summer. The cheapest season ticket this season(Curva Scirea and Curva Nord) costs 180 Euro, compared to 150 Euro last season!. The Juventus directors spend a lot of time on marketing, but they have never marketed anything to bring more people to the Delle Alpi stadium.
The cheapest single ticket for the stadium this season costs 20 Euro, compared to 15 Euro last season. The cheapest ticket for the big matches costs 35 Euro. In the game against Udinese the 9th of November this year the fans protested against Giraudo by beeing silent for the entire first half. Giraudo hasn't understood that football would be nothing without the fans.

Annoys me!?
Fans!
- Believe it or not, when Swedish Channel 5 was down in Turin they were walking around and asked ppl. if they were going to the CL qualifying game tonight! I think it was one person that knew there was a game to begin with! And surprise, he wasn't going!
but who knows, perhaps everyone they asked were Toro Fans!
tough luck!
- The ones that beside JUVE support any of the top 3-4 Serie A teams.
Or also supports any of the top teams in La Liga and EPL
scandal
- That we have this doping trial going on...
If you have read my previous post on this topic you will see that this
isn't something that was started by JUVE. Even in the 60's players from many teams have commented about "injections" and etc.
