suewhistle Posted 15 June, 2011 Share Posted 15 June, 2011 I was reading an article yesterday about Novara who have just been promoted back to Serie A for the first time in 55 years and after being in the semi-pros until a year or so ago. Their stadium holds only 10k although they're talking of expanding to 22k, but they've built themselves a big training centre along with function rooms and restaurants. It slightly reminded me of Saints in that they are getting their priorities right with the infrastructure. It's really pulled the town together and reminded me what a successful team does for a town. So come-on Saints, on 23k+ crowds we can get to the top division! Might pop along to visit next season. Juventus is a bit nearer but it's full of plastics. Would be a good place for a pre-season tour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 15 June, 2011 Author Share Posted 15 June, 2011 I love stories like this; is there any online link for the article you read? Just had a look (it's in La Stampa) but unfortunately it's gone the way of The Times..:-( Bit of a scramble for tickets though, so if you speak Italian this blog gives a flavour: http://novaracalcio.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/ore-di-ordinaria-follia-per-la-finale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
