Bologna, Satisfaction with Postponement with Milan: Complex Scenario at the Stadium, “Mockery” of Away Match Avoided
In the end, common sense has prevailed. The Bologna-Milan match has been postponed to a later date, the scenario that the rossoblù club was confident in after the order from the city mayor, Matteo Lepore, which arrived late on Thursday afternoon. The idea of playing behind closed doors was rejected, with the fixture instead moved to a later date.
The scenario at the stadium has been complex since last Sunday, with the Lega Serie A determined to let the match go ahead, while Milan was keen to play, and Bologna was caught in the middle. But the orange alert issued yesterday made the Municipality close schools, parks, and sports centers, including the stadium, on Saturday.
The most likely scenario was playing in Bologna behind closed doors, but the order issued by the prefect, after a meeting with the mayor, prevented even that. The stadium is usable, but the surrounding area is still affected by debris and damage from the flood. The police are required elsewhere, especially with the unstable weather still affecting the city.
Bologna was not keen to play away, citing the damage of losing the proceeds of the match, which were to be donated to the flood victims, as well as the embarrassment of having to travel and organize a match on the road. A total of around €2 million could have been lost, including sponsor money.
The club held out, and the postponement was the wisest choice. “There is a situation of objective difficulty at the stadium, with some collapses and the solidarity with the affected families that we continue to express,” said CEO Claudio Fenucci. “Postponement is the wisest choice, as it allows us to safeguard the proceeds of the match, which will partly be donated to the flood victims.”
The question now is finding a new date for the match, with the League’s responsibility to resolve the issue. According to Fenucci, “There were organizational issues to resolve, defending the interests of the parties, but also organizational needs that are the basis of every football match. And I believe that playing matches behind closed doors or without an audience is always a defeat for the sport.”
