"If you travel to the stadium independently, please be aware you are at risk. Do not take trains to the Piazza Flaminio or attempt to use the Ponte Duca D'Aosta bridge as these are habitual routes taken by the Ultras. Please stay away from the Campo De Fiori."
According to The Times, these are the instructions that Arsenal team officials have handed down to their fans in a pamphlet made available in advance of Wednesday's Champions League clash at Roma, with some 3,400 Gunners fans expected to travel to the match at Olympic Stadium.
Stadio Olimpico, as it's known to Italians, is set to serve as the host for the 2009 UEFA Champions League final despite a history of stadium-related clashes involving the team's "Ultras" supporters group that left several Manchester United supporters wounded in 2007.
