Udinese fan shows real loyalty

DA9

The only away fan to make the 350 Mile trip to Genoa

Interviewed on Italian TV he said he had the day off work and nobody wanted to go with him

Rewarded with 2-0 win

and i thought our away support was junk !

Greenie

Brilliant, top man!

Strange how huge away culture is in this country but really isn't adopted in the likes of Spain and Italy.

bloodnut

i bet he didnt throw a chair or do a dirty protest?... would have been great if he was standing there with a flare though!

oohaahmortimer

should he really be standing in an aisle when there are seats are available .... siddarn

bloodnut

his mexican wave is crap too.

bloodnut

good shot in those pics of some of the safe standing they have in italy with the barriers between seats.

Dizzle

I wonder how many chants he started

oohaahmortimer

i know there's a bit of facial hair but.....

He did and then went on the internet and grassed himself up after the club appealed.

Ha ha what a hero!

Away fan culture is lesser in Italy, but it's also a bigger country. If he travelled from Udine, that was 318 miles on a freezing Monday night to a stadium they play at twice a season. And that's just across the north of Italy.

Still though, you'd expect a few more there. Fair play to the guy, I suspect he'll be getting a few drinks brought for him at their next home match.

Remember looking at the skysports app on my phone yesterday and the result was already in at about 7pm

Not sure why they are playing fixtures on Monday afternoons.

it was a 6pm kick off here, so 7pm there.

I'd like to think that he had his own personal turn-style operator, barman, burger-flipper pizza topper, bookie, programme seller and safety steward. And that they were all different people; no doubling up on jobs.

he is the mob--he is the mob--he is he is he is the mob

Would love to have seen the final whistle moment with the fan and the players.

He should do the tunnel jump.

I went to Pisa on my own during the Selhurst days for a PSF and never saw another CAFC fan. No photo evidence, mind you...

Chris_from_Sidcup

It's quite amazing to think that a side who get about 20k most home games and play in europe each season couldn't find more than 1 fan to travel to an away game which isn't even that far really.

WillmoreTheRed

What a loyal, true supporter :-)

GretnaGreenAddick

That is brilliant and away fan culture is not what it is in the UK, which does not make them wrong, just different.

sm

But does he go to the reserve team games in Watford?
