Our
club was born in 2006, when a group of colleagues, obviously Genoa CFC
fans, decided to create, inside Ansaldo (today Ansaldo-STS) a new
gathering point for all the "Griffon" supporters working for the
company. This was in 2006, a very sad year for Red&Blue colours.
It was the year of Pizzighettone and San Marino, the year of the
unusual derby Genoa-Spezia, the year of the play-off against Monza.
Well, as in the life you try to stay closer to a friend in trouble, so
our Club was born in the worst time ever for Genoa CFC, to stay closer
to who really lies at the heart.
We led our members to support the team, before through the foggy
padanian plains and to Ravenna, till let them fly, at the sound of the
European League hymn, to Odense and to Prague.
Prague, what an away match ! Which strange sensation to hear among the
local markets in Venceslao Square (the famous clock square) that the
most spoken language was...the Genoa's dialect. Almost 5000 supporters
peacefully invading one of the most beautiful European capital city,
for some days dressed up in Red&Blue, and so the streets of the
Czech capital were transformed in the typical Genoa's "caruggi" and the
most listened sentence was..."Belin che freidu !" (What a cold !)
Genoa CFC and Ansaldo. Two different realities but similar in the
contribution given, each one in its own way, to make Genoa known all
around the world. A peculiar and unavoidable union thanks to the very
high presence of Genoa CFC fans in our company.
First to have birth inside the Genoa's company, our Club indeed pools a
lot of workers having faith in Red&Blue colours, increasing
year by
year, from the about 80 people in 2006 up to touch over 200 members
today. The Club also numbers members colleagues of other company sites,
till "colonize" the China so far... |
