‘Absurd situation’ – Curva Sud announce continuation of absence for Milan-Cremonese

The Curva Sud Milano have once again communicated that they will not be cheering the team on against Cremonese on Saturday night.

The atmosphere for the game against Bari has been compared to a ‘funeral’ despite over 71,000 fans being present. The issue is the absence of the Curva Sud due to what they claim is ticket blacklisting, leading to a mass boycott.

Members of the media from Michele Criscitiello to Antonio Vitiello have called on the two sides to resolve the issues for the good of the team, but at present it doesn’t seem like any reconciliation is forthcoming.

A crowd of over 75,000 fans are expected at San Siro tomorrow night for the first league game of the season against newly-promoted Cremonese, but the Curva will not be present with chants and banners.

“We thank all Rossoneri fans, both fans and non-Rossoneri, for the thousands of messages of solidarity and expressions of support we’ve received in recent days.

“We also want to thank those who made themselves available through their social media channels, even those we couldn’t attend, so that everyone could be made aware of this absurd situation.

“This is the reality today; our desire is to return to cheering in our seats with banners, flags, and choreography, under the same conditions as the other fan groups who come to San Siro.

“In the coming days, we will keep you updated on developments and any new initiatives. Unfortunately, tomorrow the situation will be the same as it was for Milan-Bari, with the same restrictions…”

  1. dont need fake fans who boo the team constantly and then feels good about themselves like they achieved something

      1. Bro dont even try to talk to this kind of the american plastic fan‘s who doesnt have a clue what they are talking about! Curva Sud is the Soul of Milan wich is the only thing at the Moment that has Milanista Value. Hope they come back as soon as possible to bring back life to the team and San Siro!!!

    1. LOL. The only fake fan here is you. It’s disgraceful and shows your lack of understanding of what is happening that you posted that.

    1. Joe youbare tipical man who think he understand what is football at Italy and this planet. Your nickname tell me you should watch basseball example,beautifull game for you,you can sleep at that march

      1. No doubt a foreign concept. You’d be thrown out of an NFL game with such obstructions. Rather than choose to take offense, why not consider this entire notion is outdated. If violent criminals are needed for Italian football… what does that really tell you?

  2. What a sad bunch of attention seeking babies. Not to mention criminals and thugs.
    Upset that they can no longer shake down beer vendors, run a ticket scalping scam and sell drugs out of the stadium, so they will not cheer for the team they supposedly love. Good riddance to the clowns.
    On top of that morons that don’t understand the concept of protesting. They are only hurting the team and the players on the pitch. Not impacting the ownership at all.

  3. What a bunch of attention seeking babies. Not to mention criminals and thugs. They can no longer shake down beer vendors or run ticket scalping schemes in the stadium so they won’t support the club they supposedly love? Good riddance to these fools.
    While they seem to love protesting more than they love the club, they don’t understand the concept very well. They are not hurting ownership one bit, only the players on the pitch.

    1. Your world is so simple and cute 🥰 Thanks for your expertise from someone who have never been at San Siro. Keep watching the games at Hooters, if you’re not underage, which is doubtful.

      1. I have been to San SIro, but what difference does it make to what I said? If that’s your only defense of these clowns, it’s not a very good one.
        Go ahead and explain to me the complexities of the situation. The good side of these illegal mafia related activities and why the club should allow that to continue… Because they make some cool banners and chant throughout the match?
        I watch for what happens on the pitch, I’m not going to miss them 1 little bit.

        1. Every one of your comments is so Manichaean. You would side with an ownership destroying every bit of tradition and ambition but would spit at lifelong fans representing one of the biggest traditions of the club by stigmatizing every one of them. Reality is more complex than your childish opinion on every matter. And I wonder what you were doing at San Siro if it’s not for the atmosphere, you would be more comfortable in your sofa with camera angles and replays.

          1. That’s right Bart, You are the one who thinks that how big of a fan you are is determined by your proximity to the stadium. If you live a block away you are more of a fan than someone who lives 10 miles away. Forgot about that amazing logic.
            What I would never do is not support the team, not cheer for the players on the pitch because I don’t like the owner.
            Curva Sud cares about their own self interests more than they do the club. They are making that clear to everyone.

          2. That’s right K, you’re a better fan than Italians growing in Milan, spending the week preparing the game and spending the weekend cheering for the team, half of the time on the road, singing by heart every Milan’s song. Curva Sud is protesting at your beloved owner because he’s destroying the club’s soul with consumerism while having poor results. I’m sure you were as obedient and ecstatic during Li Yonghong’s tenure.

          3. I can’t help it if some of these people have no life whatsoever and their entire identity is wrapped up in being a Curva Sud member. They are still just fans like everyone else. It doesn’t give them some authority to tell the club what to do, like when they tried telling management what coach to hire. Or to demand that the players come see them after the match so they can berate them. Or to run illegal activities in and around the stadium. Period.
            They can buy tickets like every other fan and sing their little hearts out, or don’t, but they are not bigger than the club. They think they have way more power than they do and it’s about time someone stood up to them.
            “I’m sure you were as obedient and ecstatic during Li Yonghong’s tenure.”
            I’m glad you at least acknowledge that era. Most on here like to pretend that Milan were winning trophies every year before the evil Americans took over…
            Again, it doesn’t matter who the owner is, I cheer for the shirt and the players wearing it.

          4. You Right but dont waste your energy on this payed comment‘s from the American Social media team, even this Platform is 100% supported and controlled by them!

          5. yeah I would side with a ownership that has more than doubled Milan’s revenue for the first time in 20 years while your traditional team was staring down at mediocrity since 2008

            If you like the mafia so much go join them, no one is stopping you

    2. They protested half of the games last season. It gets old. Really old. But I prefer them being silent to the singing the same somg over and over. If that was a song. I don’t remember. Maybe if it would have been a good song maybe it would have been fine. But it was grating to hear game after game.

    3. Mk again you are big fun i see here,probably you never watch Milan game at stadium. Were you from,east Europe?

  4. I think the problem is curvasud anymore. We need to identify a new fan leadership but not these guys. Everyone loves Milan but not curva. Who do turu think they are? Bigger than Milan. Management lose money sometimes because of theese dans maybe, but they dont cry. When curva sus Earn illegal money and when they cant they start to cry. Leave the team to real fans who feel the colurs inside.

  5. No Curva, No Milan. Curva Sud is the soul of the club. I mean, without the Banditi, San Siro is like a theater, and nobody is going to San Siro to watch a theater show. Except maybe the tourists who are there to “watch the game” lol… Without Curva Sud, Milan is just a football team, and now Milan fan accepts the word just in the same sentence with the holy name of our club AC MILAN 🔴⚫️

      1. No idiot Mk,you are dump to understand what man wrote. Curva not bigger,just without Curva,Milan not club.
        But for your brain this is difficult understand.Were you from America? 😂

  6. Enjoy watching home games like they’re away games Gerryboys. Just don’t get triggered when you’re up against another “told you so”.

    1. Sorry, told me what? Management completely screwed the pooch last year.

      This year they completed the financial journey removing FIFA oversite. Suddenly the mythical 20m cap is shattered by Jashari, Boniface, etc. Deadwood has been trimmed.

      Statements like this are proof you live in the past and seem largely unable to process that maybe these Americans are not evil, but learning. And maybe while learning removed an onerous burden.

      I will not say “I told you so” if we win the Scudetto or the Copa. I will celebrate along side you as a supporter of AC Milan.

      FFS Ted, everything is broken. Welcome to the human condition. So for you to tell us over and over is tantamount to some sort of medical condition.

      1. I’m speaking generally and you’re the one attacking me directly for it. Who’s the one with some sort of a mental condition here? You’re problem if you found yourself in my comment as an offended little Gerry’s Nance.

  7. Too many american plastic fan‘s, the Redbird Elliot influence and the agenda to destroy the Milanista feeling is already there but you know one thing you are just a Bad weather you‘ll Go Away as this owner‘s one day and we the real fan‘s and the Curva Sud we stay Till the end here.

  8. “What a bunch of attention seeking babies. Not to mention criminals and thugs. They can no longer shake down beer vendors or run ticket scalping schemes in the stadium so they won’t support the club they supposedly love? Good riddance to these fools.”

    *

    I sign below, that’s it. And I’m already fed up with reading about this stupid and useless subject.

    1. No Li i understand you. Not same watch game on tv from China,and from stadium, but you not understand us and that is your problem.

  9. They don’t support the club. The players should not have to suffer from lack of support because the curva disagree with management. Maybe it’s time for new supporters groups who care enough about the players to stand behind them.

  10. Regardless of what side you are on, this is a problem. Our club lacks the game day support it deserves.

    May I suggest we collectively call for mediation of a solution, rather than further dividing ourselves?

    May I suggest (as someone who favor mgmt in this issue) this is mgmt responsibility to use a tool like mediation in order to reconcile and move forward.

    Management you are letting us down. This is nothing more than a labor relations problem. So, solve it.

    1. No it is not a labor dispute. They do not work for the club. Nor should they get special treatment. If they want to support the club they can buy tickets like everyone else and sing and chant and support the club. The self-importance of these clowns is unbelievable. Putting out press releases about how they are not going to cheer for their team. Get over yourselves. Sure the tifos are cool but nobody watches the games for them. They watch for the players on the pitch. There will be 75,000 fans in the stadium. Hope fully they will make some noise and cheer on their players like true fans do.

  11. Blacklisting fan(or ticket holder) who is having a negative voice to top mgmt of Milan,

    That sounds like a dictatorship, lol Milan is being run like a commie, thanks haha 😀

  12. Does anyone remember that Paolo Maldini was booed at his retirement match at San Siro by these hyenas organized in a pack who call themselves Curva Sud ? That’s because Maldini had criticized them very harshly but true. I don’t want to generalize but many of them are individuals who have no other activity than being ultras and together with their pack of hyenas carry out all kinds of illegal activities. For a long time they lived off Berlusconi’s money who paid them because otherwise these hyenas do what all hyenas like this do at other clubs, they blackmail the club by asking for money for choreographies otherwise they take action to challenge the club’s management. That’s my opinion and if it bothers anyone I don’t care.

  13. The obvious solution is for some of the approximately 55,000 fans who are not seated in the Curva Sud to make a little noise. Don’t act like the prawn eaters at Old Trafford!

  14. Support you and hope this ownership go soon from our club.
    Club without suppoters is nothing,and soon or late all will see that.

  15. Milan started playing better during covid 19 “without fans” after a long period of bad games. So the Curva should not be 0.01% reason why Max. and his boys would be worried. if them not coming for the games would give us the league then i’m cool with it

  16. Curva Sud are protesting Why? Because thing are changing, which is normal. Soon Curva Sud will be even better without the criminal element among them. We as fans should support the club and those truly Curva Sud to clean themselves. Meanwhile I think the rest of the fans and stadium should be as loud as possible during the game today to prove the point.

    Imagine if EPL did not clean their equivalent of Curva Sud’s, where would they be? If you go to a gem today you ha e it all in the stadiums, including ewuivalent of Curva Sud, they are loud, pationate but do not yell at players, do not through bananas at black players and do not think yhey have any rights to make money out of the club they love. It doesnt get any more pationate the Glasgow Celtic game, but again no one thinks they have the right that curva sud does.

    I mean, do we want a club in 21st century or one stuck in 20th?

    Management are doing a fenomenal job, learning from their mistakes, forcing to get a new stadium, growing finance year over year, cleaning the house from fraud, mafia and bad influence, we had one of the best transfer windows, the future looks bright ahead, and the results will follow.

    Forza Milan. I too am curva sud!!!

    1. “I mean, do we want a club in 21st century or one stuck in 20th?”

      Still that same argument. Consumerism disguised as modernism. Milan was focused on winning in the 20th century. Milan is focused on brand, IP monetization, ROI, etc. these days so I know which version I prefer.

      “Management are doing a fenomenal job”

      8th in Serie A, ridiculous in UCL and UEL over the past two years, out of European competitions, wasted so much cash on poor players, created so many drama with terrible choices of executives and coaches. With absurd claims such as “winning is boring”, “I’ll pack Leao’s bags”, etc. Phenomenal indeed. If the previous management didn’t win and grow the commercial part, it would be even worse right now. The redbird army is insufferable. I hope you get paid for that.

      1. What a drama queen Bart. Milan finished 2nd the previous season, and the season before that made it to the semifinals of the Champions League. So you are literally talking about one bad season. Remember the 10 years before American ownership took over? How was Milan doing then? No champions League, no Scudettos. Please drop the fantasy.

      2. Bart,

        Whqts wrong with 21st century and all what you linrd up there. Real.Madrid have evilved and i think you can clearly see the gap.

        Decline of Milan started with Berlusconi, nit with Americans.

        After all i am sure you do not ride your horse to work, see you and I can argue here, it all is oart of advancements and journey in 21st century

        Now on positive side, lets hope our team play well today and win

        Forza Milan!!!

      1. Ted cares more about chants in the stands than he does about what actually happens on the pitch. Most people could care less. If the team plays well and win I will be happy. And even a little more enjoyable knowing that people like you and Curva Sud will be upset about it. When the team keeps winning without them and they realize how insignificant they are they will come crawling back.
