The year of the debut of Básquet Girona in the ACB, a category that recovers the city 14 years after the disappearance of theAkasvayu, has been quite a success at a social level. According to data from the Fontajau club, it registers 95.6% occupancy on match days, that is to say, every day as a venue it is full, and as if that were not enough, by now nearly 1,200 people are on the waiting list to be able to subscribe. In the summer, when the club sold out its tickets in less than 24 hours (it reached 4,300 subscribers), a waiting channel was opened that has been increasing as the competition has progressed and that already has long exceeded a thousand followers.
Básquet Girona envisages that this summer, once the renewal period for current season tickets has been completed, it will be able to meet, in part, the demand of waiting fans. Losses that may occur, for whatever reason, will be covered with this followers. Right now the club could fill Fontajau with season tickets only, if it wanted to, and it would still lack space, if we add the 4,300 season tickets plus those who are waiting (1,200). Fontajau, due to the return to the ACB, has a capacity of around 5,200 spectators thanks to the placement of chairs at the foot of the track, which have made it possible to expand the capacity minimally.
The last game of Aíto’s team brought more than 4,800 fans to the Girona pavilion, one of the most discreet tickets of the course, despite also being 400 people short of the full capacity.

Sunday, coinciding with the visit of Valencia, fans were encouraged to travel to the pavilion by bicycle, enabling special parking lots. There were also workshops for the little ones and entertainment inside Fontajau.
Until the end of the season, Girona still have to play six home games, some of special significance to finish guaranteeing their stay, such as those of Manresa and the fuenlabrada. They also have to go through Fontajau on GranadaTenerife, Betis and Baskonia. Of the eight victories credited to Aíto’s team, five have been won with the support of the fans: UCAM, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Youth and Workshop. And against giants like Barça and Madrid, he has competed head-to-head despite losing. And the fact is that the Fontajau factor, in the return to the ACB, weighs heavily.
