Chiedo scusa
Doc i apologise, you have floored me with one straight away.
Castel di Sangro did indeed come from below Serie C2 many years before and rose to the heady heights of Serie B before falling back and folding. So rare was it though that there is a book celebrating it!
A great book, that’s the only reason I know the story. Although they did sink like a stone, then go bust and reform.
If you haven’t read it, another recommendation for a book on the “colourful” side of Italian football is “A Season With Verona”.
They’re a bit like Millwall’s finest from 40 years ago...
Read that book a few years back. Good read. As you say 'colourful' fans but so have many of the others especially those with opposing political ideals.

So TRM there we have it, all sorted. Were we to retain the current system, or play in Spain or come from a small village in Italy HTFC would be on the verge of greatness. With the new changes we are doomed to play your good selves for the rest of eternity.
Next.....

I read a book once too. Green it was.

On the subject of the Hellas Verona book, it's given me a great way to "bond" with my Italian customers -
Juve & Torinoi - Gobbi di merda
Inter - Communisti di merda
Bologna - Rossi di merda
Vicenza - Mangiagatti (ouch).
Udine - Terremotati (very ouch).
Anyone South of Rome - Terrone
I don't know how the forumistas' Italian is, but that's pretty strong stuff.
We really do need something better for our mates up the A458. Although, I've always found that indifference is the best option.

Anyone south of MILAN is a terrone!
Udinese - earthquake victims. Oh the larks and joshing these little scamps indulge in.

To the tune of "That's Amore":
"Whennnn his shirt's number eight and his tackles are late,
That's Bragoli
When he has his name took, and he goes in the book,
That's Bragoli"
