Messina has decided not to play its home games at Celeste, as announced some time ago and publicly expressed on the day of the presentation at Palazzo Zanca, but at Franco Scoglio. A choice that seems dictated by the measurements, the field, in fact, is longer and wider than those present in excellence. And the better quality of the team may emerge better than in a smaller facility. The will of the coach Torrisi who had expressly asked to work at the Scoglio also weighed on the club’s final decision, a situation accelerated by the tight shifts at Giovanni Celeste where Messina will, however, maintain the slops because it is clear that the natural grass surface of the structure in the San Filippo district would not be able to support the weight of the training sessions with massive use.
After the Italian Cup, on Sunday it will be the turn of the championship with Messina hosting Nebros but not at 8.30pm but at 3.30pm. This is because in the area there is still the rubble of the Pistunina tragedy and that the police headquarters only authorizes matches that can be played with natural light. The conditions of the players who emerged injured from the first match against Augusta need to be assessed. Championship round away for Messana Riviera after the goalless draw with Gioiosa. Cosimini’s team will play away in Vittoria. Meanwhile, the first trouble breaks out for a player who played last Sunday’s match in an irregular position due to an old disqualification not remedied by the Italian Cup. The decisions of the sports judge who received the notice of complaint from the Tyrrhenian club are awaited.
