End to the soap opera of the 2-E capacity and anger in Pius XII. Twelve thousand souls in the Heliodorus and without the ‘yellow spot’. The limitations established by the Government of the Canary Islands are 50% of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López for the passion classic on Sunday (8.30 pm, Movistar Vamos). Known the restriction -from 22,800 to 12,000- yesterday afternoon, Tenerife informed the UD that it was not selling them the quota of courtesy tickets. Stipulated the cut to 50%, from the Gran Canaria club they understand that it corresponded to them to be able to market some 350 locations with the ‘yellow tide’. “There is a notable malaise, they lacked dominion,” they determine from the Las Palmas command zone.
Tenerife bases its performance on what was dictated by the Minister of Health Carolina Darias. ‘The rest of the entrances of the sector that are usually destined in the Heliodoro to visiting hobbies cannot be used either, based on the agreement of the Interterritorial Council (…) Those attending the events will preferably be paid people and local public, fact the latter on whom he also emphasized in his speech to the media, Minister Darias.
Fight for localities
The chicharrero stadium has been the subject of debate and controversy for the last two weeks. Blas Trujillo, Minister of Health, recalled that it is mandatory “to have the COVID certificate or a diagnostic test to enter the stadium.” Trujillo clarified that although the Interterritorial Health Council agreed to set the capacity at 75 percent in stadiums and 50 in enclosed spaces, “Canarian regulations allow them to be reduced depending on the pandemic situation.” In addition, the influx of people in the environment of the enclosure should be avoided, where the sale of food and drink will also be prohibited.
The chicharrero club will not wear the centennial elastic band or perform the light show at the stadium
For its part, the UD communicated on its website that it lacked tickets for its fans. ‘Once the decision of the Government of the Canary Islands is known in relation to the capacity allowed for next Sunday’s derby at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, and which has been set at 50%, and also known the proposal of the authorities that they preferably attend the stadium the subscribers of the host club and local public, CD Tenerife informed UD Las Palmas that tickets will not be sold for visitors.
Tantrum for the wait
Under the title ‘They isolate us … but never alone’, CD Tenerife explained why it will not use the centennial elastic against UD, as well as the suspension of all the events scheduled for 2-E.
‘With sadness and regret, CD Tenerife has to report that the Canarian derby (…) is with 50% percent of the capacity (…) In the same way, we are deeply saddened that such a huge decision The draft became known just a few days after the celebration of this important sporting event (…) A Tenerife-UD is a deeply rooted feeling that, whatever the circumstances, must always be respected … And today we it hurts, and it hurts us a lot.
Finally, the match against UD Las Palmas will be played with the first kit of the 21-22 season, not with the very special Centennial shirt. ‘ In addition, the tribute to Borja Lasso is also suspended. ‘He had to leave football after two years of intense struggle to try to overcome a serious injury (…) His tribute will not be possible either (…) Even after receiving the relevant authorization from LaLiga, we were going to be able to enjoy the play of lights that allows us the new lighting of the Heliodorus. It was a little surprise that you, hobbyist and hobbyist, were going to live from your seat. There is no light show either. ‘
As a last curious note, the ‘Tete’ published an erroneous statement last night that raised the negotiation for a postponement of the derby to January 15 or 16 to be held ‘behind closed doors’. It was finally erased.
