Having a Tuscan holiday (Florence / Pisa).
Looking to take a game in but sadly Fiorentina are away. I see I can get to Empoli v Lazio though.
Livorno look like they kick off there only available game in Serie B at 10.30pm on a Monday night (????).
Can't seem to find a Serie C fixture list and talk of it being disbanded?
Any of you Italian-ites got any info on clubs around Tuscany or a good link to a website with info?

Livorno have fierce rivalry (principally a left v right political tussle) with Lazio - while in different leagues now I expect that would be quite a spectacle!

Head up the leaning tower, you'll be able to see right into the pisa stadium.

Iggy, how long are you there for?
Might be worth considering travelling by train to a game a bit further away. If so I'd go either Verona v Carpi on Sunday 16th at 2pm or Venezia v Benevento on Friday 14th at 8pm.
Rail time from Florence to Verona is about an hour and a half and to Venice is more like two hours.
With Verona you get Liam Henderson and the joy of Tim Parks book 'A Season with Verona' which is a great read. Verona itself is well worth a visit before the game if you go through early enough. Get down the front with your Hibs top on and see if Liam comes over to deliver his autograph .
With Venezia it is a really unusual ground and a club that went from bankruptcy (again) about five years ago to nearly getting Serie A promotion last year. I've never been to the stadium but it's supposed to be unique and they have a small but pretty typically crazy support. The owner wants to move them to a new, bigger stadium if they get into Serie A so who knows how much longer the current ground will even exist? I think Filippo Inzaghi is still the manager. And a day out in Venice beforehand isn't life's worst experience...
Any of that work for you?

Couple of options.
If the Serie C fixtures get sorted then look at Lucca. Stunning wee walled town in Tuscany. Got a Serie C team called AS Lucchese Libertat 1905.
Technically not Tuscany, BUT easy enough to get the train to La Spezia to go and see ASD Spezia Calcio 2008 (Serie B?). The ground is only a few minutes walk from the central train station i think. Plus it is right next to the Cinque Terre national park which is stunning and worth a visit. .

Bl00dy Lucca, along with Barga that's where a lot of the Northerners come from that live here.
I actually stayed at Il Ciocco back in the day when Souness had been a regular visitor there with Sampdoria and then Rangers. Very nice, still northern though...

I’m going to Verona this weekend and was hoping to go to a game. Unfortunately it looks like their next game is 16th, which is day after I come home! I take it Serie B stops for internationals too?

Gives me a game to go to though as Empoli tickets for Sunday v Lazio were ranging at 90 bloody euros a pop on their website.

Real question was how accessible is Ravenna from Verona? Wanted to visit there for a long time.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Nowt to do with fitba, but if you can, eat in Taverna de Emma and visit Lucca.

Curva nord is 15 euro but those seats might be reserved for the ultra group members, that seems to happen quite a lot with some teams'websites and they don't make it clear why you can't purchase online.
