After last night's events in Rome before the Arsenal v Roma last 16 2nd leg match at the Stadio Olimpico, in which an Arsenal fans minibus was smashed up and a fan stabbed Everyone apart from Uefa can see that this place is not safe for foreign fans. Uefa have just given the excuse that it would not be safe to move the final but we disagree. When will Uefa relise that Rome and even other places in Italy are not safe for foreign fans to go to. I Know i as a fan would want to be safe in the knowledge that that is i go to a European Cup Final that i will not get hurt, but this is simply not the case as with a lot of other fans we do not feel safe going to Rome .
I have been reading through your messages all morning and the trauma people are describing from their time in Rome is heartbreaking. It is clear that we are all terrified to travel for the final when our physical safety is being treated as an afterthought by those in charge.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one terrified by the thought of traveling to Rome for the final. The mounting anger proves that fans refuse to accept violence as an inevitable part of the game.

Too many bad things happen in Italy with these ultras. Stop waiting for a tragedy to happen.

Ridiculous to keep it there. UEFA just cares about money and not the safety of the supporters. Do the right thing for once.
