Calling all Reds in Italy

Liverpool supporters travelling to Italy for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Fiorentina will be treated to a special 'fan zone' to mark the official twinning of the clubs' supporters groups.

The event will be held within close proximity of the Stadio Artemio Franchi on the evening of the match and refreshments will be on offer as the two sets of fans celebrate their new bond.
 
The twinning will be rubber-stamped on Monday evening after the Merseyside Branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club accepted the request from the Collettivo Autonomo Viola.
 
"The Viola are very keen to chat to Liverpool fans so don't be shy and come along and say hello," said Dave Murphy of the LFC OSC Merseyside Branch.
 
"It all came about when the group of Fiorentina fans known as the Collettivo Autonomo Viola e-mailed our branch asking us to twin with them.
 
"They said, 'Florence has always had a strong admiration for your team and your fans, this is our opportunity to create a beginning of a friendship that will last and grow stronger over time.'
 
"It promises to be a great occasion, so if you are travelling to the game be sure to come along and meet some of our new friends."
