Albinoleffe supporters, shown in a group shot from 2005–06, have adopted the motto “méi poc che nisù,” Bergamo dialect for “meglio pochi che nessuno,” or “better a few than no one.”

UC Albinoleffe of Bergamo, Italy, has gained notice of late—most recently at Guardian Unlimited—for leading Serie B despite a minuscule fan base from two small towns northeast of Milan. See the Ultras Leffe fan site for photographs of the support and Rai.tv for recent highlights.
