‘The match on stage – Effetto Flaminio gran gala’ is the story of a vintage recited in the heart of Rimini, which for once is not the Flaminio but the Galli Theatre. From the market to the matches, passing through the marketing strategies and seasoning it all with anecdotes that until recently were reserved for the small circle of professionals in the Rbr world. Biancorossi on stage to once again make a pact with fans and sponsors, to relive the best moments of the season, but also those that caused the most suffering. Galli Theater full, management, staff and team present. Two ‘on stage’ benches, those of the Flaminio. On them, from time to time the protagonists of the year, but also simple fans, followed one another. Davide Turci began, telling the anecdote of Justin Johnson’s arrival. Rbr, says the sports director of RivieraBanca, was on the trail of Nathan Adrian and had made a specific offer to the agent. Shortly afterwards, however, the possibility of acquiring Johnson appeared, in which the company immediately showed great interest.
The timing and market courtesies required waiting for the response from Adrian’s house. Once received, Rbr took the plunge on Justin Johnson and closed within 24 hours. The important sliding doors, the ones to hit without hesitation. All in an old Flaminio that will be renovated, as the mayor, Jamil Sadegholvaad, promised from the stage. “I was born in ’72 and I also played, with poor results – jokes the mayor -. I went two and a half hours before the match to go and see Wansley and the other Marr champions. It’s right to celebrate this evening here, in the heart of Rimini. There is great passion, as demonstrated by the fact that we fill the Galli in the middle of the week. The new Flaminio? This year the new scoreboards have arrived, next year we will have LED walls in front of the benches. We have been working on a project to make it happen more comfortable and modern the Flaminio with project financing. Without forgetting the other sports disciplines”. Then on to the story of the year, the difficult journey at the beginning and extraordinary at the end, through the voice of all the protagonists, players and coaches. One last look at 2023-2024. Because from June the market carousel will start spinning again.
