Fans groups prepare case
04 January 2007
Roma beat United 2-1 in a game marred by clashes between supporters and Italian police, with the travelling fans bearing the brunt of numerous baton charges.
A statement on the IMUSA's website, www.imusa.org, read: "Can anyone who was in Rome please send their eye-witness statements to comms@imusa.org as a matter of urgency. IMUSA will once again put a dossier together to submit to UEFA."
The statement added: "The club issued warnings to our fans making it clear that they thought that there was danger of attack from the Roma fans.
"The Italian police were stationed on our side of the fence, in attack formation against United fans, in a way that only made sense if they were trying to protect the Roma fans from us.
"There is something very wrong here and IMUSA aims to get to the bottom of it.
"Can all fans who were in Rome tonight get in touch with us to let us know what you saw.
"If you have pictures or video of these incidents, so much the better."
