Alabardati surely translates as Halberded? Alabarda = Halberd, a medieval weapon. Comments anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.82.57.134 (talk)
Usually they are called "Rosso-Alabardati" (sometimes only "Alabardati"), "Rosso" = "Red" by the jersey color and "Alabardati" = "Equipped with Halberds"/"Halberded" by the "Alabarda" (*) in the team badge, city/comune/provincia crests and sometimes on the jersey (**).
(*): it's an heraldic version of the "Alabarda/Lancia di San Sergio" = St. Sergio's Halberd/Lance, visually more like to a Corsesca(it)/Corsèque(fr)/Corseque(en) weapon than an Halberd weapon, but the common name of that symbol is usually just "Alabarda".
(**) like in the 1983-88 period (and 1988-94 with the logo small as an usual team badge) with a big stylized Alabarda (***) and 1997-99 period with an "usual" big Alabarda, like the one on the (also present) team badge))
(***) that jersey-design was also called "Cocal"(Seagull) for his resemblance with a stylized bird)
Is this notable enough to be put into the article? edit
Fans of Triestina, a professional soccer team from the northern Italian city of Trieste, were greeted with a surprise Saturday when they arrived at the team's stadium for a game against Padova.
For the first time in four years, nearly every seat in the "Colaussi" stand, which runs along one side of the field and faces the television cameras, appeared to be taken. That stand alone, which holds 10,000 fans, would have nearly doubled the team's average attendance from the previous year.
On television, the crowd looked impressive. But in person, the scene looked a bit strange. The fans were clad in scarves and winter coats—unusual for a balmy September afternoon. They failed to make a sound when the home team ran out on the field and didn't budge when the match ended in a scoreless draw.
Turns out there was a good reason for this: These "fans" were actually two-dimensional images of fans printed on a giant sheet of vinyl and stretched across the empty seats. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.156.206 (talk) 03:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Chairman edit
The Chairman of Triestina is not Maurizio Zamparini, but Davide Zotti. http://www.unionetriestina2012.com/inside.php?mn=2 It was contact from Maurizio Zamparini to Triestina but, right now, no conctract or economic commitments are signed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.16.233.82 (talk) 08:14, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
