What flavour? I love a pistachio gelato I have to say.

don't - i am forever condemned to spend the majority of any trip to italy traipsing from one pasticceria to another whilst Mrs H hunts down cannoncini al pistacchio, of which she'll then take one bite before foisting the crumbled remnants on me as they are deemed to be "too bad for her to finish"...

I’ve just checked the Serie b fixtures for the weekend of the Milan derby and Parma are at home to Palermo on the Saturday. That sounds a decent game and two previously big clubs.

How am I best organising tickets? Anyone any ideas?

there's a ticket info page on their website, but ONLY in the italian language version, not the english translation:  http://parmacalcio1913.com/biglietti

in common with most clubs, this seems to only have info for the next match (the away game at empoli at the moment) - it seems to be the case that if you don't have a season ticket, they recommend that you buy from various outlets in the town, which isn't much good if you're just there for the day

to be honest, for tickets in advance where i cannot buy from these outlets (or official club ticket shops dotted around the city)  i usually just e-mail the clubs (use google translate if you're not bi-lingual - it probably comes up with utter crap and gives the italians a good laugh, but they always seem to appreciate it if you make the effort  - except for venezia, they were bloody unhelpful !); don't be surprised if they direct to a third-party website like ticketone.it - you might have to create an account to buy through these, but that's easy enough - obviously just keep an eye on the prices you are paying and don't fork out for any ludicrous commission...

There's a few options: Plenty of shops in Parma itself sell tickets to games, you can purchase one at the ground, or you can just pay at the gate more often than not. No danger of a sell out, so should be fairly easy to get a hold of one, even in the Curva Nord - unless prices are increased for the game, shouldn't cost more than 15 euro for a ticket in that part of the ground.

That’s what that website I found said. Is that 100% trustworthy but?


Sad when Parma are playing in front of crowds like Hibs or Motherwell. Not long ago they had Thuram, Buffon, Crespo and Veron and were amazing to watch.

pretty shameful display again - can put the tin hat on it in a couple of weeks by losing to benevento and wrapping up bottom spot properly instead of just making a half-arsed effort to get there by doing stupid things like winning in firenze; clearly it's taken three weeks to coach the attacking instincts out of the new signings and get everything realligned to pecchia's patented "total ineptitude" brand of football - hurrah !
