Doubts on the Champions League scenario

Plan A: Montilivi. Plan B: Switch to Barcelona. Having secured a place in the Champions League, Girona continues to publicly show its supreme intention to stay at home and listen to the anthem of Europe’s top competition with little more 9,500 spectatorsbut plan B may gain weight in the coming weeks, although a final decision has not yet been officially made.

UEFA’s constant rejection additional stands does not seem to invite optimism and, despite the fact that the social mass – even the Girona fans who live in Barcelona– prefer to debut Europe on the lawn of the ‘gironí’ fiefdom, made more than one doubt about a decision with great weight about the entity ‘blanc-i-vermella’.

In fact, UEFA is most interested in the matches of those Michael happened in the city of Barcelona. As Mundo Deportivo learned, due to the comfort, size, quality of the spaces, security, televised results and facilities for visiting clubs and fans, the organization would have shown the Catalan club its goals and, for here, even offers some kind of incentive or help, the management of Montilivi is encouraged to opt for ‘plan B’, information not confirmed by Girona FC.

At the club everyone prioritized from the first moment, as well as the new stadium project, which remains in the same place. Beyond the united desire of the club and fans, it will be the most viable, but, perhaps, also the most expensive. That’s why talk with Stage Front Stadium or both Montjuïc Stadium, where FC Barcelona currently plays its matches.

This is confirmed Delphi Geli in SER. “We have given information to transfer our desire to play in Montilivi, we understand that people also want to play at home, but we are talking to UEFA and they are asking us a lot of things that have to do with big investments. Probably it’s not worth making too many changes for four days, because we are also programming the new stadium project,” the president argued.

Geli’s statements may lead to the reflection that, perhaps, it is not worth it for the club to make a such as a capital investment, with a new stadium project defined, they had to remodel and change areas that would be given less time of use for the cost involved. If ‘it’s not worth it’, the club with more weight can explore the option that UEFA presents them.

“I understand that people talk about a lot, but we must understand that we will seek the best solution to this blessed problem. We have a stadium with many shortcomings to be in the First Division and the place is many issueswhere we are investing a lot of money to study what would be the best solution in the same area, Geli expanded the ‘Gironí’ fiefdom.

Michaelalso clarified his view on RAC 1. “Must be in Montilivi and it is a shame that there may be people who cannot enter the stadium, but we have to hear the Champions League anthem in our home. Playing safely is possible in Montilivi,” he insisted.

Pere Guardiola, also devoted a few words to the topic recently. “Will everything possible to play the Champions League in Montilivi, There are no more solutions. The other option is to find another stadium and that means moving to Barcelona, ​​this is plan B,” said Pere. “We don’t want anyone to be left without watching the competition, but our priority is the fans and want we study what is the best solution, although there is no perfect plan no matter what,” he concluded.

For economic profitability, on the other hand, it may seem more profitable to fill a stadium 40,000 to 50,000 viewers, four times the numbers – in the best cases – of a Girona stadium that will have just over 9,500 seats.
