Ultras prepare silent protest

Serie A’s Ultras are planning to watch this weekend’s games in silence as a mark of respect for Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri.

The nation's Ultras have embraced Lazio fan Sandri as a martyr after he was accidentally killed by a police officer on November 11.

While games will take place this weekend and fans will attend, some groups are planning to protest by singing only songs for Sandri rather than their teams.

As the Ultras are the most vocal fans who are known for their rousing chants, many games will be played in eerie silence.

At Lazio’s game against Parma - the only clash where away fans will be allowed to attend - the Biancocelesti Ultras are planning to enter the stadium 20 minutes after kick-off.

Similar measures were taken by sections of supporters at a basketball game between Milan’s Armani Jeans and Lottomatica Roma last weekend.

It is hoped that there will be no protests in the streets or any repeat of the ugly scenes that followed November 11’s tragedy.

Meanwhile, the clamp down on violent Ultras gathered pace with the arrest of six fans in Genoa.

The men in question were wanted for their actions during the Derby della Lanterna between Genoa and Sampdoria on September 23.
