A quick, late post on Parmagiani National Gathering that will take place today and tomorrow in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Massive good luck for a great meeting and we really hope to be there one day to celebrate with you next Parmagiani anniversary.
Thanks Abdul, Triddy and all the guys and girls that are traveling from all over Indonesia to meet together and celebrate their friendship and football passion.
Alessandro AKA Il Plin, sent us this pic from Stamfort Bridge where he could enter due to low security controls and celebrate our salvation, in fact everyone in London is focused on Europa League Final today.
Before he will be arrested we have to confess that he was there couple of weeks ago with all the authorizations and that he also met legendary Gianfranco Zola during his staying in UK.
We take this chance to send to Magic Box our bigger “Good luck” for tonight match.
These are the kind of ventures we are more proud of: demonstrate that is possible to be rivals on the pitch but friends outside. Football is both, rivalry and friendship, a good reason to aggregate people and know each other in order to respect each other.
Parma Fans Worldwide Greater China Division, together with Fiorentina Supporters in Hong Kong, is going to organize a meeting to watch the match together next Sunday 19th May.
Besides of the meeting there will be a mini football shirts exhibition with almost 20 jerseys form different eras by Parma and Fiorentina, thanks to Roger Kwan, the Fiorentina shirt owner and member of Fiorentina Supporters in Hong Kong which take part to the exhibition.
All of you already know we are about to meet UK Parma fans in London next Monday to watch together Bologna vs Parma in Golazio bar – 59 Camberwell Road, London SE5 0EZ www.golaziolondon.com – free entry, but confirmation is appreciated at info@parmafansworldwide.com
What you did not know is that there is a special guest that we invited and that would have been with us if his duty with Chelsea wouldn’t bring him in Boston right after the Leicester match on Sunday.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Gianfranco Zola, Magic Box, has a message for you.
Parma will face Bologna in Dall’Ara stadium on Monday 13th at 7 PM CEST and we already published tickets info.
What we still didn’t do is to inform you on all the ways you have to follow the match together with other Parma fans.
First option is bus with Centro Coordinamento Parma Clubs:cost is 35 euro for CCPC members (ticket + travel) and departure time is 330 PM from Tardini.
Ultras Boys Parma 1977 group is organizing a travel by train leaving from Parma station at 447 PM with train “regionale veloce 11545” and with tickets to by independently.
Third option is one that involves us personally and is to catch a flight to London and join us in Golazio bar – http://www.golaziolondon.com – where we are organizing the first Parma Fans Worldwide meeting in London. We don’t suggest specific flights but just to be there by 6 PM (London time), match starting time. Bring your jersey, your scarf, your flag and your Parma (or Calcio) lover friends and join us there.
We will be there since 5/530 PM and until the latest beer possible. Contact us by whatsapp or email at info@parmafansworldwide.com to confirm. Entrance is free but better if we have a quick idea of the number of participants in advance.
Sometimes you start following a team because of your classmate, sometimes because of the colors. Some other because of the name. Casualties, maybe. Or maybe not.
Colin and Neil are from Belfast, both strong supporters of Crusaders FC that started an interesting sort of gemellaggio between their local team and Parma Calcio, Italian Crusaders, following also matches in Italy.
Yesterday Crusaders FC won the Northern Ireland FA Cup – 3-0 against Ballinamarland – and our guys sent in real time a shot with the trophy and their Parma/Crusaders flag.
We took the chance to thank you Colin and Neil for their contribution to our Travelling Parmigiani photo album and, of course, congratulate with Crusaders FC for the victory.
C’mon the Crues!
Boys Parma 1977 invite all the fan bases – Parma and Sampdoria one – to meet in a public park close to the stadium to celebrate together the 29 years long friendship with Ultras Tito Cucchiaroni.
Everyone is invited in Ex-Eridania Park, located in the back of Barilla Center mall, where there is the Paganini Auditorium, at 11 am. In case of rain event will be moved into a covered area nearby.
Next week Parma Fans Worldwide will be on tour trough UK because on 9th night we will attend Football Blogging Awards Gala event, were we have been nominated as Best Forum and Best International Content Creator (finger crossed) then we will come down to London when on Monday 13th evening we will join every Parma and Calcio fan that would like to be there with us to cheer and watch Bologna vs Parma together. Match will start at 6 PM.
To rise the hype on the event, well know Parma satyrical parody creator il Plin, exceptionally made one of his piece in English- even if he doesn’t speak English at all, so be understanding – to invite you to the event and, why not, see the birth of a London Parma Fans Club.
See you in Golazio bar – 59 Camberwell Road, London SE5 0EZ www.golaziolondon.com – on Monday 13th some minutes before 6 PM (even if we will be there all night long) and remember to send a confirmation email at info@parmafansworldwide.com
We have to think about survive in Serie A, think about rebuild a youth team department and a main team composed not just by good players on loan, but… there is a strange voice inside every Parma fan that tell us Europe is waiting for us.
Thanks to Nicolò for this shot from Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium in Sevile, Spain for our Travelling Parmigiani photo album.
Hong Kong is a humid place, we know it. But when a storm arrive in the middle of an open air concert, boys cover themselves with some plastic bags, real men have their own rain poncho.
Then Ed Sheeran becomes the second bigger attraction of the night after our friend Keung, Parma Fans Worldwide Greater China Division founder, with the best rain poncho of the whole town.
