The curiosity
6 December 1970, the Siena Club Fedelissimi, founded a few days ago, organizes three coaches for the trip to Gubbio. During the journey of situations all three vehicles break down. The drivers and some knowledgeable fans somehow manage to get the three coaches back on track which arrive at the San Benedetto Stadium when the match had already reached 30′ of the pt. Rapid descent, flags unfurled in the wind, drums already in action and all inside to the cry of “Roburrone forward forward…”. We felt the eyes of the rossoblù fans on us, amazed, amused, but we didn’t understand why, until a “little man” looked up from the bag of lupins and exclaimed in strict Eugubino dialect: “What are you stupid? Do you lose 3-0 and make all this mess?”. Gubbio had scored in the 1′, 22′ and 29’…. Our trip ended there, an about-face and a quick return to Siena. (NN)
