Estra dreams of the playoffs with the PalaCarrara factor

Estra Pistoia, after the bitter away match in Pesaro, returns to PalaCarrara to be pampered by the warm embrace of its fans. The red and whites need to rediscover the affection of their people who are ready to play the charge and help the team in moments of difficulty. The Baraonda boys were also present in Pesaro and, as always, cheered wildly, encouraging the team not to give up and accompanying them in their comeback, but unfortunately it didn’t help them return to Pistoia with the two points. Sunday’s match against Brindisi (8pm) is of fundamental importance to continue dreaming of a place in the play offs and PalaCarrara’s push will have to be maximum because with three games left in the championship Estra cannot make mistakes. Pistoia absolutely needs a victory and hopes that the results of the direct competitors bring good news, the challenges are played between Bologna and Reggio Emilia, Naples and Trento, Tortona and Pesaro. On the other hand, for Brindisi it is a last resort match given that in the event of defeat, coach Dragan Sakota’s team would practically be relegated.

An important match needs an important scenario and PalaCarrara is called to respond with an obligatory ‘sold out’, both for the importance of what is at stake and for the team’s extraordinary championship. The presale began yesterday with coupons that can be purchased on the website www.etes.it. Sales at the box office, which is always located at the entrance to the sports hall on the Pistoia curve side, will observe the standard opening hours: Saturday 20 April from 10am to 12.30pm and from 4pm to 6pm, Sunday 21 April from 10.30am to 12.30pm and from 5.30pm until the start of the match. The company also reminds you that from yesterday tickets can also be purchased in all offices and delegations of the Automobile Club of Italy in the province of Pistoia. Just a few minutes after the opening of the presale, the Pistoia curve was sold out: it is reasonable to expect the same to happen for the other sectors too, if the red and white square really wants the playoffs.
