FELTRE. First the insults to some girls, then big words and shoving flew near the bus, up to the bump on the head for one of the members of the Feltre group hit by a stone. Tensions after the match of the Serie C hockey match between Bolzano / Trento and Feltre, which promoted the Feltrini team to the semi-finals of the championship. If in the stands the confrontation was only verbal with a good amount of teasing and slogans from both sides, the fans of Bolzano raised the bar by threateningly facing the group of Feltre supporters who at the end of the 6-1 victorious match they were reaching the bus, which had filled up with fans of fans.

“Just before leaving the stadium”, explains Luca Zanella who organized the bus, “a kid from Bolzano warned us that the Bolzano fans were waiting for us outside. We understood that he was looking for a pretext to fight. In fact, when we passed them they started to insult some girls in our group heavily. Some felt offended and replied. I tried to lead the group to the bus and the locals from Bolzano came after us ”.

Zanella continues the story: “A stone arrived that hit one of our men in the head and then the weather got hot when we were getting on the bus. Insults began and shoves flew. Fortunately, no one was hurt. I was sorry what happened because there were also children on the bus on Saturday night. It wasn’t a good scene ”. When the group from Feltre had got on the bus, the police arrived and with a few passages in the parking lot they quickly dispersed the troublemakers from Bolzano.

The play-offs, however, rekindled the city’s enthusiasm for hockey and in addition to the organized bus there were other Feltre fans who went with tested cars and minibuses to follow the Palaonda match. Support that will still be needed as the team has reached the semifinals.
