Yep, knocked out in the quarter finals - which was the last stage of 'no extra time'. So despite the aggregate draw against the team that came 2nd in their league, were knocked out due to being the seeded team (the same rule that saw them progress to the quarter finals).

bit by bit, always a process and persistance.

So it looks like they just failed in the promotion playoffs. Got through a few rounds but failed in quarter finals (or was it semi finals). Great that they won the Serie C cup but their quest to return to Serie A will take just that bit longer

So, double edged sword for Catania's promotion hopes: They've been performing pretty poorly in the league, and are currently sitting equal on points (ahead on goal difference) of the relegation playoff spots.

However, they did win the "Coppa Italia Serie C" final during the week which, provided they do not finish in the relegation playoff spots (16th-20th), puts them in the promotion playoffs in a position as if they finished in the top 3. If they finish in the relegation playoffs, they forfeit that spot to the 4th placed team in their league. Seemed like once they knew they weren't going to finish in the top half of the league (promotion playoff positions), they focused on the Coppa, but that is not going to bite them in the arse.

Only 3 games left:
Home derby v Messina (13th)
Away to Sorrento (10th)
Home to Benevento (3rd)

Catania is in reach of both 16th and 17th (Monopoli and Turis) whose run home sees them play against:
Monopoli - 6th, 9th, 13th
Turis - 8th, 19th, 20th

Probably has last weeks to be honest

Ask ol fetishlove if he has next weeks powerball numbers?

That sounds awful... At least a club has some sort of mechanism to get promoted though not this bullshit super league closed off APL garbage.

Grella has now sacked his second coach this season.
After being promoted as their Serie D regional champions last year, they are languishing in playoff contention (14th at the moment, 4 points off playoff positions) in their Serie C league this year.

Of note, promotion playoffs at this level in Italy are an absolute shitfight.
4 clubs get promoted each season (the three league winners, as there are 3 regionalised leagues) and the winner of the playoff final. However, the top 10 do have a shot at playoffs - alongside the Serie C Coppa Italia winners: a cup competition held between the Serie C clubs that do not enter/qualify the actual Coppa Italia, provided they also aren't in the relegation zone.

Catania is actually in the final of this cup competition, so winning that means that they still make the promotion playoffs.
Absolute shit fight of a playoff system:

First Round (playoffs within league)

• 5 v 10, 6 v 9, 7 v 8 across all 3 leagues - single leg with no extra time (draw = highest ranked team progresses)

he must be playing around at reddit.

Hey Paulie... still around you fraud?  What do you say about Ross Pelligra buying Perth for $1 ..... Now that INDEED is all in eh....

I think the fact that Vince Grella and Ross Pelligra, along with Socceroos legend Mark Bresciano, are leading the revival of Calcio Catania is exciting and positive news.

Only I may speak of Catania's inspiration, sorry. I'm the gate keeper

The revival of Catania is an inspiring story of performance and determination. Grella and Bresciano have played important roles in this story, and they will continue to be important factors for the team in the coming seasons. mapquest directions

Hey Con, license fees offered by other clubs were way more than what Hellas offered despite his "All in"...............LOL

OK.... now your just spouting shit Paulie... 

If he had met the criteria, especially cough up a good sum of money / license fee, FFA would have snapped Hellas up. Well at least many here tell us that it's only the money FA are interested in.

It appears he didn't go all out at all- contrary to what you imply.

Mate, absolutely nothing but respect for the guys involved in this and yeah I get the appeal... Its not JUST the P&R aspect mate, thats just one of things wrong with football in  Australia.... From accounts Ross has also bought an Adealide Baseball club and wanted to (maybe still will) buy Adelaide United and a basketball club with the aim of making a European style sporting identity -- problem is with all the franchised, closed shop restriction he cant.... 
When he was involved in the Hellas bid, he has gong to go ALL In, liked that we where an existing club, had a home stadium he could help "improve" existing fanbase, great history etc etc....  The guys is a sports nut apparently and saw past the "but Hellas is a Greek" club malarky.

While I get what ou are saying let's be honest.

No amount of P&R here would stop a few Italo-Australian guys from wanting to try this venture in Italy

I heard about the Italian North vs South divide but didn't  think there is still that much bad blood between the two. Not that I care much. It didn't stop the Southerners infiltrate Juventus in Melbourne back in the days.

yer seen that, all for it :) Forza more Volpato's lol......
I have hope MV's Biasins fam carry on and look to buy SU58 lol, plenty Triestini or more so Fumani have Cro blood in em like my Popa's side, Hawkey loved multi culturism pity a % of the colonial/skips still living in the 60/70's ala Skyhooks :) 

I think he wants to invest in Adelaide United so he can develop players for the Italian national team now :P

hehe yep that he did - what a turn coat hahaha

And yet the Pelligra group sponsor South Melbourne HELLAS and were the financial backers for our unsuccessful 2018 A league license bid... He was going to stump up 20 million dollars to help a monoethnic GREEK club in Australia...... Maybe because Sicily was once part of Magna Grecia :P

How do you do that?

The 2nd gen Italian/Aussies running the company are re investing in the town their parents came from.
Sorry mate in part you show your ignorance of migrant backgrounds and geography.
Like rivalry here Qld vs NSW vs Melb for eg Catania in Sicily.
The rivalry is legendary north vs south there, well its pretty similar all over the world right - you only have to watch the Napoli/Maradona docos when vs's Juve for eg and thats just south of Rome.
In most case's NO Way would southerners invest in a northern Club or visa versa ie Juve as you mentioned in regards to here.
Its against the blood, having just been in the north of Italy/Veneto/Milan whilst CL matchs were on to watch Oct/Nov, the local northern taverna's etc wouldn't show any of the Napoli vs LFC game whilst Inter were playing in the other CL game, not one place despite the countless screens in places would they show a southern Club game at the time.

As you asked about MV/Triestina, Mario Biasin (passed away early 22) came from the north east region in Trieste hence buying that small Club (his roots like the above) with Di Pietro.
Don't know what has become to date but that the Club is at the bottom of the table in SerieC atm.
They signed a young Aussie back in 2020 who was at Celtic not sure what has become.
