Roma's hardcore ultra fans have called on the entire Stadio Olimpico to desert their side's Serie A clash with Genoa on Sunday out of protest at recent results.

The Giallorossi were eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Serie B side La Spezia on Wednesday night, and that has proven to be the final straw for many Roma fans already angered by a seven-game winless streak.

Following a 6-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League and a 2-0 loss at home to Atalanta, Roma players were greeted by 50kg of carrots when they turned up for training on Dec. 1, with fans holding a banner which read: "Enjoy your meal, you rabbits."

But the fans' grievances with the club are deeper rooted with security barriers installed in the Curva Sud in the summer, leading to crowd numbers dwindling this season.

The fans who usually congregate in that area of the stadium have now made a plea to the rest of the Roma fans to make a stand with them, and boycott Sunday's game.
