When asked about the date and time of the Roman derby, president Simonelli declared: “I don’t think there are too many options. You can’t play in the evening because the Police Headquarters doesn’t allow it for reasons of public order. In the afternoon it would be at the same time as the final of the tennis internationals and therefore it’s not advisable. Only the possibility of 12.30 remains. Moving it to Monday? It’s a hypothesis that I don’t think is viable.” Derby at 12.30 on Sunday, therefore.
