Beleaguered Serie A club Parma put dressing room benches up for sale

Cash-strapped Serie A club Parma have been forced to put their dressing room benches up for sale as they struggle to find enough money to finish this season.

Their league match last week against Udinese was called off because the home team could not afford enough security to safely host the game at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.

According to The Telegraph, it has now emerged that the Parma players are having to wash their own kits, and are also having to pay their own way to travel to games.

Bailiffs have seized gym equipment and computers, while the club have been forced to put dressing room benches and other furniture up for sale in a desperate bid to make ends meet.
