Ferrara The Ferrara of basketball is experiencing a positive moment, from the first team in Interregional B to Vis 2008, which will begin the national category finals in Chiusi-Chianciano Terme on Monday evening. Yesterday, Ferrara Basket and Vis 2008 Under 19 faced each other in joint training.
«It’s a wonderful moment for Ferrara basketball, there’s great vitality – says the number 1 of the biancazzurri Riccardo Maiarelli -. There is the participation of the city, the Bondi Arena always has a good number of spectators, the initial balance is decidedly positive. I say thanks to Vis 2008, a company that supports us and is achieving important goals. The team played a strong championship final, we see a group with a different approach, fighting to win and defend, at home and away. Coach Benedetto was able to interpret our roster in the best way.”
Now, on to the playoffs. «They are a lottery, we go with great determination and awareness of our abilities, the hope is that Ferrara joins the team. We will also have Spal season ticket holders who will support us, collaboration and closeness that we like.”
Wednesday 8th, with a tap-off that could be postponed from 8.30pm to 8.45pm, game 1 against Gardonese. In the next few days, the initiatives involving Spal season ticket holders for the playoffs will be announced, the presale of which will start, with pre-emption on 2 and 3 May, at the Bondi Arena, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. Coupons can also be purchased on 6 and 7 May and, what should not be underestimated, at the same regular season prices. «We have achieved important objectives – added the digi Stefano Michelini – At the beginning of the season we wanted to create proselytism in the area for basketball, involving local clubs. We push for involvement, hence the Digital Alliance project: 17 companies have signed the pact, around 8000 members are involved. We have interacted with 6 associations and done a fair amount of work in schools, but we are only at the beginning. All the Este clubs have participated in one of our matches at least once. We want Bondi Arena to increasingly become the home of sport. Our dream is that from May 8th onwards we will enter the sports hall and feel a positive, engaging energy. I thank Spal, in a few days we will announce the involvement of season ticket holders in our playoffs: great joy.”
