all began in 1974. For the first time the Ascoli is ready to play in a championship in the premier league. The late "Presidentissimo" Costantino Rozzi, had built in just 100 days a stadium of 40,000 seats. Needless to say, for the first Stadium via Zeppelle (Lillo and only later renamed Cino Del Duca) the stands were completely packed (Ascoli - Torino 1-1). At that time there was the bridge that connects South Bend to the rest of the city, then you could access the Del Duca only by the path of Zeppelle, since under the Curva Nord. And it is there for the early months of the season are placed Juventus ultras. And it is always there that makes its appearance on the first of September the historic banner Juventus: Bianconeri staggered two horizontal lines, with the name of the group and to a large white center. In fact, since the years prior to promotion to Serie A in the curve there ultras groups (Falange Bianconera primarily ...), but the one made by the founders of SBN, it was a very clear choice: to create a carrier group to represent all the curve for Juventus. A dutiful tribute to all those who gave birth to September. We mention some of them, those, at least, of which we still have memory (and we forgive any "outsiders"): Riccardo Onori, Nazzareno Filippini, Alfredo Mancini (aka "Macianna"), Maurizio Taddei, Franco Fiori, Enrico Bortolini, Armando Hunters, Peter Gentile, Roberto chew Ettore Galli and many others of which we now escape the memory. The choice of name among other things, was particularly painful. We wanted to create an original, that do not bear the usual terms (ultras, boys, brigade ,...) which began to appear in the corners most important (Sampdoria, Inter Milan ,...), and they wanted to give a clear impression to the tradition of the city (distinctly right). Was chosen as a Palestinian terrorist group (the Black September) that in those years often occupied the pages of crime because of several terrorist attacks against Israelis. This name, suitably "adapted" to the cause of black and white, always exist in our group, to this day.
their early years.
are happier than those ... The wave of enthusiasm, the cheering is uncontrollable, colorful (in the 70s it was all based on improvisation ...) and especially very warm. As just one example, each trip was dell'Ascoli accompanied by a veritable exodus of white fans: in 3 / 4000 in Naples, Milan, Turin, Genoa, but also in Terni, Verona, Bologna, etc. ... Juventus play anywhere, we are witnessing an invasion of Ascoli. The September BIANCONERO (and its many components) is present almost everywhere, although, in truth, the banner of the group is not always followed led to the team. This happened on several occasions, mainly for one reason: our corner was powerfully projected within two years (from '72 to '74) from the dusty pitches of Serie C, those prestigious Serie A. .. The ultras phenomenon was born in those years (the earliest groups were the Pit Lions and Ultras Tito in '68, in '69 Boys San, the Brigades Gialloblu ,...) in '72 when the fighting in Ascoli in C1 and C2. And the C series of that period was comparable to today's CND yes and no ... Therefore obvious that in terms of experience and mentality ultras, cornering there was still some work to do to recover the "gap" with the most prestigious groups ultras.
Meanwhile, the group takes a precise features. Is packed the first rudimentary material: white shirts with the words Black and White made in September thanks to a cardboard shape engraved with the letters of the name and a dash of black spray paint ... Nothing to do with T-shirts printed today! In '78
meanwhile, is made a new banner home: largest (30 meters), black with white letters in the center of the first emblem of the group: a skull (typically 70 years) instead of the profile and under it two crossed bones ... As mentioned, the first decade is perhaps the most beautiful, most magical, because the dream of a small town like Ascoli (60,000 inhabitants) to compete with (and often defeat ...) squads Serie A, is realized. For many years, travel the Bianconeri are accompanied by thousands of fans and everything happened for two very specific reasons: first, to the immense heat and passion dell'Ascolano Piceni and in general (and the legendary President was an example ...) and then for what football is then: a real phenomenon of aggregation, a time when everyone's problems were the days set aside . Above all, there was no PAY-TV!
the first clashes.
The beauty of the group in those years is that the name and fame of Ascolani begin now to be known ... At the expense of the first groups to arrive at Ascoli ultras convinced usually find the little village of the province ... But will always find an atmosphere that would just set on fire! Many groups set foot in the "city of a hundred towers" with making bold (though sometimes not even need that ...) will return home with the signs of the transfer of Ascoli. The first year that you presented the Florentines ('74), the first clashes took place immediately. I had several thousand purple and despite the good reception, created a ruckus by pressing on the large number (other than the injured Ascoli) and surprise of an entire curve that is only now understood the difference between the fans of Serie A and the lower categories. From that day he swore revenge for the September Bianconero Tuscan ultras Ascoli and already next season became a land hostile to the Florentines. This time they found a welcome quite different from the previous ... Since their arrival took place the first charge but this time we were prepared. Furious fights, kicks, slaps and punches at will, until the situation was resolved with the flight of the ultras viola ... Who will ever forget the scenes of the drums removed from the hands of the Florentines and backgrounds on their own heads ... Old stories, but that last for someone who lived. The relationship with them will always be marked by riots as told also stuffed in their book, so much so that from then on admissions violates Ascoli decrease even more.
Same thing happened with the Romans, they too, but in many joints, which is repeated almost every time, arrogant and braggarts roamed the streets of Ascoli in groups do "Masters", they had to "downsize" to not anger the large groups of ultras Juventus who were patrolling the city since morning. Scenes that are constantly repeated in Ascoli nearly up to the 90s! Who was this certainly remember what happened almost every Sunday at Del Duca. Those were different times, there were no guests sectors, stocks ... Away we went aware of what it was: a curve (the famous "popular") where there were also many local fans, more often than not with their friendly attitude towards us. That was why we were immediately met. Although private house in a poor reception in many, we were always away present and ready to make us respect, not fear anyone.
The organization was improving and in turn make their appearance the first banner copricurva, typical of those years and among them one (see photo) for several years will be the largest ever for a curve. Only some time later it will Doriani a larger one. Typhoid is, as mentioned, warm and compact, helped also by the splendid results of the woodpecker.
The first "generational change". As each group
ultras, September has also gone through periods of obfuscation. For precisely what happened in the late '70s and early '80s. On the ground the Ascoli wrote the most beautiful pages of its history of sports (top leagues in the top flight, the 5th place in the UEFA A and grazed by a whisker ,...), but cornering the situation was different. Internal strife, accusations from some members (new and old) of the Board, were splitting the group. Rooting for the truth does not suffer much, because there was only SBN curve, but what was happening, threatening to wipe out the group. In fact, the banner was not hung over or cornering or away and collapse due to internal strife, was now imminent. The situation continues with ups and downs for a couple of years or so, until a group "very strong" of boys in their early twenties (now thirtysomething ...) did not address the situation of "chest" (and not only ...) resolving the root problem and re-found a new committee. The banner was redone, as the old one was falling to pieces now, using the character then resumed for one day.
80s.
standpoint ultras, the '80s will certainly be remembered as the richest of "episodes" from positive to negative. It has now well defined map of the rivalry (many) and that of friends (a few, to be honest), but the group itself has taken on a precise physiognomy, even if the problems never failed. As mentioned, the list of the rivalry was always dense and in those years will be many clashes with other fans. There is also to be specified at the time, the only way to get to the stadium (for those coming from the Apennines) was to cross the center of town, along the Via Salaria. One can easily imagine what could happen when you had the various Romanists, genoani, Florence, Terni, Lazio, etc. ... Angry confrontations involving the entire city center and ended up with almost always succumb to see the ultras opponents. All this was not opened until the North Ring Road, through which those who came could reach the stadium from avoiding the city. However, the new arterial road did not change the situation much ... The fighting is now concentrated entirely near the Del Duca.
Gl'incidenti more were with groups of all time: Romania, Dorian, Viola, genoani, Juventino, Inter, Milan, Bologna ... With the Florentines, for example, had become a fixture, both by us from them ... Ascoli For example, visitors under the curve (the North), it happened all over. Between fights, stone-throwing clashes and several, many were forced to shelter ultras viola Mazzoni Hospital of Ascoli (but also several of our fared badly ...). In Florence, instead we are in good numbers, but in groups, and when we arrived, the Florentines immediately sought contact, but when they saw how we all got off the bus for us and defend the banner, you only look for and then let it go away. There was no confrontation (and if there was we do not know how it would end, as they were nearly twice as us), but the fact that they desist from their intentions speaks volumes ...
Around the '83 / '84 were the Turin to lose the banner of ULTRAS GRENADE (left group), banner that was destroyed before their eyes. Even in the Milan was taken from a banner Brigades ROSSONI Sec. Mantova. But the most dramatic action was against the genoani arrived Ascoli in about 300: the siege in the North, break through the entrance gates, a position in their field and beaten up by a blind desire. They were removed from all stripes (including GRIFONI PIT) and burned in front of them ... there in the curve north. At that time we used it, is the ultimate humiliation for us that we could impose a cheerleader. Today, however, would have carried the banner in the corner and he would be like a trophy ... In
tragic encounter against Inter in 88 (discussed below) were lost to Inter Inter club Cologno Monzese "in PVC banner was shot and reused by the same guys who had stolen the" Group Rasta, dissolved (or melted) after a few years because maybe too much "in contrast" with the very politically motivated extremist of those times.
Who we remember with honor the other hand, are the Dorian. Despite our office in the sector to their private, instead of running away began cleverly with their backs to the wall and faced it head on ... How many you took, but how many they gave! a really tough group!
In the early '80s to about 84 There was also a kind of twinning with the Brigades Gialloblu VERONA. Friendship, which ended when a group of Veronesi who did not accept the twinning began to call us "southerners" (...) causing our reaction. From that moment on, the relationship changed abruptly until finally degenerate thereafter. We remember especially a Verona - Ascoli '85, when we arrived in Verona in 300. Arriving at the stadium, a hundred of our visibly drunk, broke away from the procession and walked unconsciously under the curve Gialloblu ... Inevitable clashes that police pulled up after several posts. Our courage, despite the rivalry, it was objectively recognized by various members of the Brigades of the time. Other "appointment" of those years were the close encounters with Bolognesi (either by us or by them), so that our relegation in B after many clashes in A, was seen as a relief for them ...

Chapter in the San Benedetto, with whom relations have always been stormy, and they did talk of their daily bread ...
PAGES BLACK 80s.
serious incidents that have marked the group, for better or for worse, there are several in recent years:
1986: leaving a nightclub Centobuchi, close to St. Benedict, a ultras SAMBA, Joseph Tomasetti, 21, after a violent fight with a football background to Juventus ultras, falls to the ground lifeless after being reached by a stab wound to the abdomen ... The following year
(We are 87), following a match between Fiorentina and Ascoli, characterized by the usual clashes, a ultras viola is stabbed in the North (the area guests), seriously wounded by a miracle will save only a few days.
September 1988. Ascoli - Inter 1-3: After the match a group of skins Inter, to return to her coach, is passed, against all reasonable logic, under the Curva Sud at the very time when we went out ... Nobody would have ever thought the general melee, unarmed police, in the confusion of the brawl (photo), falls to the ground RENO FILIPINO. Rushed to hospital after being in a coma, it will go from there to a few weeks ...
A terrible blow not only for the group, but also for the entire curve because RENO was known by all, was one of the original founders in September. An episode so severe that will shake even the leaders of the Football League: stop the mixed areas, green areas separated, processed in real "cage" to contain the ultras. The controls at the stadium are becoming more suffocating and stocks are ever present. Different routes to the away fans and the number of swift swollen beyond belief. In many games, between 88 and '91, there will be forbidden to expose the banner of September and only rarely manage to hang on to with only the symbol SBN. All this is because of the facts concerning the Rhine, for a revival of "persecution" to those groups, like ours, distinctly to the right. Other episodes will follow that of serious RENO (see case-English in '95, Genoa), and how to cheer undergo a radical transformation, but the unique experience gained in those years, will stay forever ... And only those groups who, like us, they may have crossed ultras have a wealth of experience worthy of the name. This explains why we have so little respect for "supporters" as the Ancona, which came out after this period and who does not know what it means clash for hours with opposing fans, go away without an escort and among the home fans ... They have grown up "protected" and therefore continue to hold arrogant attitudes, but despite a few "intense" occasions (see derby at Ancona and Ascoli, Autogrill di Caserta in '98 / '99 or highway in the final year of Perugia Play-Off ...) where we have "knocked".
dates back to '90 / '91 the rekindling of a rivalry that dates back 20 years before: the one with the Ancona. To be honest we never seen more than too much, because for us the only real derby is and will always remain the by Samb and also saw the lack of "thickness" of the "ultras" Doric, but the way they do blowhard and jocks, there was very nervous. Besides, they had an ally more on their side: the regional press. Since I had gone back to B (2 years ago) it seemed that (so far ...) 13 years of A dell'Ascoli (then become 14) had disappeared and suddenly there was only Ancona ... A team snubbed not only from across the region, but from Ancona itself, so as to make known brands in the proverbial "coldness of Ancona" (the last example in chronological order, the game of the National Ancona, during which Bruno Pizzul, several times in news direct, repeated the phrase "to play in an impressive silence "...)
Without history the derby in the stands, always marked by our invasions (for 4 times in 6 games more than the 2000/2500 units ) and their non-existent presence from us (on average, always in 300 and sometimes even less ... but the league '99 / '00 where they reached the staggering figure of 800 units). A level choreography have always displayed a bigotry that has always covered them with ridicule, claiming that as their choreography, in C and B, it does not do anyone ... Of course! They are so bad that no one has failed miserably would be able to do worse ...
In '91 / '92 Ascoli dispute last season in Serie A. A team already relegated before we start any unmet expectations from the beginning ... The Black and White in September will still be present everywhere and all the fields that will be engaged Ascoli, from closest to farthest. From 40 to Parma, Bologna to 150, with 50 of Florence, where, among other things, the curve of the house was in dispute with the Police (as a result of fighting between the Florentines and Juventino had been arrested and convicted several ultras viola) and began to applaud, noting that they were singing their hearts out despite the Ascoli was already sentenced to B. It was 1991 and amazingly at the end we picked up one of the few victories of that shameful league (for the record ended 2-1 for us).
THE "FALL OF THE GODS" ...
Ascoli says goodbye to Serie A for three years and will play the B. In the first two of these years, Bierhoff and his companions nearly promotion in A (the memorable fights with HAG Padova). In the third and final year of B instead of the incredible relegation to Serie C, preceded by the disappearance (December '94) of our beloved President: Costantino Rozzi.
This will be combined with the disappearance of the Rhine, the saddest pages in the entire history of the group ... The President was one of us, a thoroughbred Ascolano, determined and stubborn, yet unpredictable and likeable. The spirit that distinguished him was our strength. For us it was like losing a father and everything he has done, I'll never forget! We believe it is only right to dedicate a section of this site is entirely the President and to better understand why the figure of the mythical "Custandì" refer to the "Costantino Rozzi.
and typhoid? He could not deal with it in a negative way. The penultimate Ascoli in B (for 20 years we used the A. ..) with one squadron (Bierhoff, Galia, Zanoncelli, Binotto, backpacks). Travel farther in a few but this is strictly BIANCONERO September, contests marked by vicious internal disputes and violent attacks in the locker room of the team. Nothing seemed to shake a group of mercenaries who for months had stopped fighting. At the end of the season but the team finally seems to react, takes away important victories (Pescara, Acireale) and precious ties, but everything is undermined by inconsistent performance home that always end in draws or defeats ... It 's over, Ascoli falls in C after 23 years (14 for A and 9 B) between the giants and plunges into the hell of series C. ..
YEARS OF C.
The first year of the C series, marks a beginning comforting, is the team of the curve, driving away the fears of those who had feared that with the demotion the South would never be the same. The team is pretty well, reaching the play-offs and the championship marked a revival of typhus. Transfers of mass (although some were very short) and good cheer inside and out. Paradoxically, the demotion had given an upward push to the group, on the fields of C found that stubbornness and humility that the many years of great football we had to put a little 'aside. The final
but ends badly (lost on penalties in Foggia with Castel di Sangro, in front of about 7,000 Ascolani) and the psychological effect is substantial in return for what seemed to assume that B and instead was badly blurred. The desire to react, however, there and the subsequent three years slip away anonymously, Ascoli will never fight for the summit, in fact, in most circumstances even risks relegation to the C2 ... The cheering, however, is never lacking and ups and downs these three years are absorbed. Several episodes of tension are: all over the invasion of the field (photo) broke after the gates at the Del Duca Ascoli - Battipagliese League '96-'97 (Campania two players are injured) and the continuous excesses in the domestic competitions later. Accumulate in all four rounds of the stadium ban, several warnings and the forced relocation in Rieti (2 times), Chieti and Macerata. And then the usual confrontations with other fans. Some are the same as the best years (Lecce, Terni, Cosentini ...), others are new knowledge (Nocera, Giuliese ,...). The fighting spirit is the same but the ultras world has changed: now just one step wrong that the letter comes with a fresh fresh to your door. And for a city like Ascoli which has vast resources "human", represents a big blow. The last two championships ('98 / '99 and '99 / '00) are particularly important for Black and White in September. Approach to steering young people with new ideas. It 's the long-awaited "generational change" for a reason and the other in recent years there had been.
curve regains its appearance, and the image that gives of itself is great again. The experience of the "old" plus the enthusiasm of young people is a formidable and winning mix. They return after several years of inaction, the colossal choreography, typhoid singing is full-bodied and constant throughout the span of 90 minutes of play and in many areas appears to be overwhelming. On many occasions there were more than 10,000 stage presence, with peaks of 12,000 and even 13,000 people respectively Ancona (championship) and Viterbo (Play-Off). Not to mention the travel, from Palermo to Arezzo, Crotone Lecce, Casarano Acireale, rising for Andria, Foggia, Nocera, Avellino, Roma, Benevento, Battipaglia, Cosenza, Naples ... Over the past three years, to travel will have been blown just two or three ... and always for logistical reasons (availability of scarce resources ... or rather the agencies).
CONCLUSIONS.
Broadly speaking, these are the facts and events that have marked most characteristic of our group. You will notice how they have been several incidents and clashes cited, was not made to put on display at certain episodes, but rather to try to understand what has always been the nature dell'Ascolano and September. Only those who lived through these wonderful years will understand what has been and always will be the September BIANCONERO for Ascoli and the Curva Sud,
for us Ascoli and 'A FAITH, NOT DISCUSS IT ... LOVE!
Bianconero September 1974 ...
... militancy ultras!
