Presiding over his first board meeting since being elected last week, Gravina signaled that he plans to support previous rulings limiting Serie B to 19 clubs this season.
The move from 22 to 19 teams was made following the bankruptcies of Avellino, Bari and Cesena.
However, Virtus Entella, Novara, Pro Vercelli and Ternana — the four clubs relegated at the end of last season — plus Catania and Siena, which lost in the Serie C playoffs, are all still arguing for a place in the second division.
Entella has played only one match this season in Serie C, and the other clubs arguing for promotion have also been idle lately.
Gravina says: “I’m hoping that that everyone plays on Sunday and I think my wish will be met by the leaders of the Lega Pro (Serie C). The time has come to play football.”
