“If there is one thing that we have unfortunately learned in thirteen years of Guarascio’s management, it is that there is no end to the worst.”
This is the incipit of a post published on Facebook page “ANNI Ottanta Cosenza”. Sunday evening Cosenza celebrates its debut in the new season at home against Cremonese and among the fans there is a strong discontent for the prices practiced in the curve.
“Surprise and dismay are the feelings we feel in front of the latest stroke of genius of the club, that is, the increase in the price of tickets for the first day of the championship from 16 to 19 euros, with the possibility that the price during the season may be modified depending on the importance of the match. Exactly as happens with trains and planes during the weekends or holidays. We consider this decision absolutely absurd and unmotivated, as it affects the less well-off, the families and that segment of the fans who have always followed Cosenza at home and away, making significant sacrifices and economic efforts in order to never fail to support the team”.
“Nineteen euros – the note continues – is not a popular sector price, even more so in a dilapidated stadium where there is no service, where there is not a bar worthy of the name and the only way to get a beer or a bottle of water (often warm) is to wait in an interminable queue through a very narrow corridor. Is this how the club wants to bring families back to the stadium? Given this situation, if a parent wanted to bring two or three children to the stadium they would face a financial drain. Without considering the extra expenses for fans who come from the province, which the club has never had the slightest consideration for.
Stop profiting from the passion of popular sectors! If you need to make money, those who have always been used to free entry to Numerata should put their hands in their wallets for once.
We add that this wicked decision comes after yet another troubled summer, in which the club has suffered a referral which will probably be followed by a penalty in the standings, with the stewards (often fathers and mothers of families) who have not received their already low salary for months and months and with a team still largely incomplete to be able to fight for salvation (words of Alvini). In all this chaos we also note the total absence of DG Ursino, who after the presentation press conference disappeared and has not uttered a word.
For the good of Cosenza we have let everything slide off us from this company, but now the cup is full. A popular sector of a stadium must have a popular price, always, on every occasion, otherwise it is not a popular sector. On Sunday – they conclude – on the occasion of the home debut against Cremonese we will leave our sector empty and we ask all those who are close to us to do the same.. For our pride and dignity first of all. Because there are things that can no longer be tolerated.
POPULAR PRICES FOR POPULAR SECTORS!”
