Andrey SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsWrite to the author»Red-white» again almost became a victim of discrimination?On Saturday Voronezh «Torch» will take Moscow «Spartak» in the 7th round of the Russian Premier League. For Voronezh, this match is a holiday and a big event. This is evidenced by the huge queues at the ticket office of the stadium from those wishing to purchase a ticket for the game. And this is despite the decision of the Torch fan activists to boycott the RPL meetings because of the fan card. The leadership of the «flammable» in the midst of the working day issued a provocative statement banning the use of Spartak paraphernalia at the stadium.
" that the entrance to the stands of the stadium with the symbols of the rival club "Fakela" strictly prohibited!" — Initially, this is exactly what the message of the club looked like.
Subsequently, the press service of the Voronezh residents somewhat changed the interpretation from «symbols» to «support means», and «strictly» to «according to the regulations.» Also, Fakel representatives argued their intentions by the fact that in fact the guest sector, intended for Spartak fans, will not be involved: in connection with the refusal of the Red-Whites from their ticket quota, the seats on their podium were transferred under the full control of the hosts. Selling tickets before all home matches, we informed that the means of supporting the away team are only allowed in the away sector.As already mentioned, there will be no away sector in the match with Spartak.We made an incorrect wording — we meant means of active support «, not paraphernalia. Therefore, there can be no talk that in Voronezh fans with the symbols of Spartak will not be allowed into the stadium. We apologize to the Spartak football club for the incorrect wording — all football fans are welcome in our city, «they said in «Torch».
