  The Voyageurs: Canadian Soccer Supporters - Fiorentina in Serie B??
Catania was relagated to serie C in May, promoted to serie B in June, relagated to serie C again in July and promoted back to serie B in August.
Calcio is in chaos this summer with the unprecedented decision to extend Serie B from 20 to 24 teams.
I presume the main reason why serie B teams have a problem with a 24 team league is that it would make it more difficult to win promotion to serie A (more competition) and more likely to get relegated (you would have to relagate at least 6 teams).

 Serie B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atalanta B.C. Serie B is the name of the second highest football league in Italy.
Serie B was composed until the 2002-2003 season of 20 teams, then was enlarged for the 2003-2004 season to 24 teams, due to legal problems relating to Calcio Catania relegation (Caso Catania).
These are the 133 clubs which took part to the 76 Serie B editions played from 1929-30 to 2006-07.

Serie B, Italy's second division, traditionally played on Sunday afternoons at the same time as the top flight Serie A but, in a move aimed at boosting the profile of second tier games, the Italian Football League moved all matches to Saturday night for this season.
However the matter is the responsibility of the Football League,' Carraro told the Italian news agency ANSA on Thursday.
A top match from Serie A is usually played on Saturday night, ahead of the regular Sunday fixtures, and Carraro said that in itself defeats the aim of the switch.

 Marvel Value Stamps - Series B
In December of 1975, Marvel began releasing the second set of stamps known as "Series B." This set featured "puzzle-piece" stamps which could be placed together to form larger images.
Apparently, this series lasted a shorter period of time (approximately December 1975 through August 1976) and involved a much smaller number of comics -- since each stamp appeared only once or twice.
We're also still looking for a good quality scan of an unused Series B stamp book with no stamps inside -- to complete our Stamp Book Tour.

 Inter and Roma struggle against Serie B clubs
A heavily-weakened Inter Milan side lost 1-0 to Serie B club Bari in an Italian Cup third round, first-leg match on Wednesday, while AS Roma needed a late Gabriel Batistuta equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw at another second division side Triestina.
Inter coach Hector Cuper fielded a mix of reserve and youth players at Bari and he will probably be content to only have a single goal deficit to overcome in the second-leg at home in two weeks time.
Roma also handed some fringe-players a rare start in Trieste against the surprise side of the Serie B season.
