“At Unipes we believe that it is one more offense, of the many already committed, to the fans.” The schedule set by LaLiga for Sporting’s visit to Zaragoza has fallen like a bucket of cold water on the red and white fans. The meeting in La Romareda, set for Monday, February 5 at 8:30 p.m., was being evaluated by several supporters clubs to come and cheer on the team. La Mareona has seen its intentions slowed down by being held on a working day, which will prevent many from traveling.

Unipes has made a statement through its president, Gustavo Alonso. The leader describes it as an “offense” to the fans, “as is placing the Real Sporting-Racing de Ferrol at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 28. Starting from the basis that scheduling matches on Friday and Monday is already harmful , when it faces teams in which there may be displacement of visiting fans, the damage increases considerably, not only for the fans, but also for everything that encompasses the tourism and hospitality sector of the city that hosts the match.

Unipes’ anger, shared by members of its group, lies in the fact that, among other things, “we understand that the economic benefit of the institutions is compatible with the interests of the economic sectors of the cities and hobbies. With this way of acting disaffection and discouragement are encouraged in an increasingly growing and palpable manner. Unipes goes further and requests that “we ask the League to make both interests expressed above compatible, a circumstance that is perfectly viable.”

One of the clubs that planned to be present in Zaragoza was the Quini club from Barcelona. His anger is also evident. “We express our total disagreement with the schedule for Real Zaragoza-Real Sporting de Gijón. By putting it on a working day, it makes it impossible for members to travel from Barcelona, ​​being one of the trips marked in red on the calendar since the beginning of the season. We request schedules that allow the supporters clubs to come and cheer on our teams, in short our reason for being,” explains one of its members, Javi Bazán.
