Castellón supporters and shareholders see a long-term transfer as more viable than buying Castalia.

Bob Voulgaris expressed last Thursday his willingness to offer the purchase of Castalia to the Castellón City Council. Hours later, Mayor Begoña Carrasco closed the door on that option, declaring that the stadium was “not for sale.” An option that the club environment does not consider very feasible. Both supporters and small shareholders of Castellón believe that transfer or rental of Castalia, even if it is for a longer period than the current one, as the most viable alternative.

This was stated this Friday in a telephone conversation with this newspaper by the President of the Federation of Peñas del Castellón (Fedpecas). “From Fedpekas We believe that there should be a long-term lease agreement. We understand and we appreciate what Bob Voulgaris does

and his willingness to buy the stadium and invest money if the city council cannot do so, but you have to understand that Castalia is from the city and tomorrow, when Vulgaris leaves, it may belong to someone else, and we may have problems. This is the value of the city, like many others, and we understand that until they reach an agreement, it must remain outside the city. Despite this, we must thank Voulgaris for being the first Castellón president to offer to buy the stadium. This is very important,” says Alberto Icart.

Conrado Marin speaks in the same spirit. The president Albinegro Feelingan association uniting small shareholders and subscribers of the club, considers the sale of Castalia “impossible” and believes that Castellon and the consistory are “doomed to understand each other.” “The most logical thing would be to agree to the transfer. One option would be a long-term loan in exchange for the club taking on necessary renovations to the stadium. “Other owners who came through the club got the stadium without any investment,” says Marin.

From Albinegre Forum, Another small shareholder association calls Bob Voulgaris’s move to acquire Castalia “commendable” but criticizes the way he announced it. “A press conference is not the place to announce something like this without discussing it with the institutions first.“, notes its president Isidoro Gasque, who also admits that it is “not easy” to sell a municipal property. although it would be “positive if Castellón had such an important heritage as Castalia.”

Salva Ruiz has missed the last two games due to injury and will also not be available for Ceuta. Dick Schroeder noted this Thursday in this regard that He has a “long return plan” so his leave could last several weeks.

As for the possibility of seeing the latest signing in action in the winter market.Lars Veldwijk, the coach, did not rule it out. “We will make a decision tomorrow (for today), but most likely he will be on the bench.”

The duel against Ceuta will mark the return to Castalla of Christian, who left Castellon this winter fair. “It’s good to see him again. I think we had a good time here, but he’s playing for Ceuta now so I don’t wish him luck this weekend,” joked Schröder, who is expecting a difficult game.

“It’s already been in the first round and I’m looking forward to Sunday. We like the style in which Ceuta plays. “Sometimes I think people forget that there are other teams besides Castellon and Ibiza, which makes the league very difficult.”– the technician pointed out.
