Stadium off limits for the Alpine troops, Rimini risks having to emigrate for the challenge of the year. Hypothesis San Marino
Galeotto was the change of calendar during the current season. Cause Covid. Rimini had already requested it from the League well in advance, at the beginning of the season, to be able to play the round of 8 May away. Given the concomitant organization of the National Gathering of the Alpini. Request that was initially accepted, only to then change the cards on the table due to the postponement of the calendar due to the Coronavirus. Thus Rimini Calcio finds itself in what could be the decisive challenge of the year for promotion to Serie C, with the rebus field.
The Romeo Neri stadium in the days preceding May 8 is off limits as it will host the opening of the Gathering. And on Sunday the match would coincide with the Alpini paradetraffic with half the city completely closed to the public and with the police force engaged to ensure safety in what will be the most important event of the year. The hypotheses add up, but it is not a simple picture: the most obvious solution would be to move the game even by just one day, but it cannot be because being the penultimate round of the D series, concomitance on all fields must be guaranteed for the regularity of the game. championship.
So what will happen? Rimini is sifting far and wide all the fields in the area and at the end in the last few hours the idea of emigrating for the challenge of the year at the San Marino stadium would be taking off. Fantasy football? According to sources inside the Rimini company, it seems the most viable solution, even if there will be further efforts with the Municipality in the first place but also the Prefecture to find the most suitable solution.
Organized supporters also took a stand on the issue. That in the stands, in the last round of the championship, they displayed a banner with the words: “We don’t have to look for other fields, the Alpini put them in Palazzo Garampi“. Even if the company specifies that the administration has no fault on the matter and that indeed the contacts with the mayor and the administration are continuing to find a solution. It was already known that the date of 8 May was off limits for over a year. The problem arises from the continuous changes of the calendar in progress. If it is forced “exile” in the decisive match against Seravezza Pozzi it will be a truly unusual scenario but probably inevitable.
