    a chance to chat about B, from an english paper? go on then. pretty threadbare article in truth and it’s funny how he starts with ‘results need to follow’, while the team is sat in second…

    Are their owners really all that bad? they already took them up to A, and even though they went straight back down, they’ve kept together a squad that is capable of promotion. i feel Venezia being a B/A team is punching above their weight, no? I also saw before this season that a season ticket in the curva worked out about €6 per game, and the crowds are ~2k larger than last season.

    of course that’s just me looking at the footballing side, them turning their club shop into a boutique is a bit much. they’re supposed to be the orange, black, and greens, but their home kit for a couple seasons now has basically been all black, something i can’t imagine fans are too happy about, as well as the prices. to me, i’d say they’re good owners but i wonder what the match going fans would say

        I know, but it seems like that’s not their core business anymore. They were already in serie A and hyped to the max a couple of years ago but then flopped hard and last year they looked like a serie C team for half a season.
