Welcome to the first post of what will hopefully be an ongoing blog following the rise and rise (I can hope) of SSC Venezia. C1 has been less affected than the leagues above it by the whole calciopoli scandal, so hopefully will start on time, and I can get used to the usual routine of doing my best to follow Venezia from Scotland (not an easy thing even these days!)
Il Mister, Nello Di Costanzo, remains in charge after an incredible season last year, when we went on an amazing unbeaten run (the exact number of games escapes me) after losing 4 of the first 5 games of the season under different management. Di Costanzo managed to lead us to our first ever C2 championship, thanks in no small part to the goals from the "gemelli di gol" Marco Moro and Davide Pradolin, two promising youngsters. Whether they have enough to cut it in the big leagues of C1, we will soon see...
Some summer signings have come in, but I have to admit to only recently starting to pay attention to these in any detail - like any Italian, I have been revelling in the events in Germany this summer - only recently have I stopped watching highlights of the Azzurri's top moments every day (now it's only every second day!)
Anyway, enough rambling from me for now. No doubt I will be back with more nonsense soon.
Forza Lagunari!

Is there any other kind of season for a Venezia fan than a long hard one? Still, I always keep an eye on their progress, if only to hope they stay away from the Viola as they have hurt us badly in the past. Arra! Arra! Keep on blogging...
blimey there's clearly a huge world of hitherto unsuspected scotland-based tifosi. must admit my knowledge of Venezia is relatively limited other than the Venezia/Mestre story. I look forward to being enlightened.
Enlightenment is sadly one thing I cannot promise - long, swear-word filled rants on how we are rubbish/were cheated the previous weekend is probably more like it!
obscenity laden ranting is also good.
