    Sport.
    On the sunday we arrived Lazio were playing Reggina. I was told you could get match tickets from places displaying Lottomatic logo. After trying 5 with no luck we gave up and headed for the ground. Where i was also told you could get match tickets. Had no luck there either.
    Get the metro to Ottaviano, walk across the main road, going the opposite way to the Vatican. Catch a 12 bus and after 10 - 15 mins you will be at the Olympic stadium. When you see the river you know you are there.
    We managed to get a ticket for 25 euro off a tout for the game. Met some great Lazio lads in the curva nord and had a great day. A season ticket for Lazio is 120 euro incidently!!!!
    On the wedesday we was there Middlesborough were playing Roma, so we decided to go to that. Went into the Roma club shop and got a match ticket for 10 euro, just had to show our passports. You can do the same in the Lazio club shop for getting match tickets.
    This was totally different as a English team was playing, lots of fighting and the police were heavy handed.
    The game finished at 11pm. We was kept in the stadium until 1am, then packed onto buses like sardines, left on them til 2am, then drove to a park in the middle of nowhere and booted out at 3am, and left to it.
