Key points
- Curva Ovest cancelled planned choreography for tomorrow's match against Vianese in protest
- Ferrara police blocked children from reading statements about Aldrovandi, citing incitement to violence
- Ultras question why remembering the 18-year-old killed by police 21 years ago still causes official concern
Summary
SPAL's Curva Ovest has scrapped a tribute to Federico Aldrovandi scheduled for half-time tomorrow after Ferrara police vetoed the centrepiece: children from a local primary school reading statements they had written in his memory. The ultras had prepared a choreography to mark 21 years since the 18-year-old was killed by four police officers on 25 September 2005. The Questore claimed the children's phrases incited violence and threatened action if they were read. Despite intervention from SPAL director general Marcel Bonnici, the ultras chose to cancel entirely rather than proceed without the planned element.
