ALEXANDRIA – “Now let’s see if you have the money to come to Crotone”. The phrase, addressed by some members of the Calabrian team to the members of the Spring of Alexandria, he had hurt them.
Because, it is true, next year, in the Amateurs, it is not yet known in which championship, in any case the Grays would be excluded from the category, reserved for professional clubs, but the players, Mauro Guaraldo, the managers who have always been close to the kids, they wanted to save themselves. Personal satisfaction, honor, pride.
And then, strong of 3-1 at home, with an applause-worthy performance, they would have had two results out of three available tomorrow.
But the Alessandria Spring will not go to Crotone. The decision was made in the late afternoon (as explained in Piccolo on newsstands), with a communication sent to the players, and their families, and to Guaraldo, staff and managers.
“Despite the incessant searches for a suitable means of transport for the trip, and after having examined every possible solution, the company, reluctantly, communicates that the trip will not be carried out”.
Ownership insists, “We tried, until the end. We found nothing”
Data and times certain for two weeks
More than one cried last night: after a year that was all uphill the group, the whole group, deserved to have this chance, to play it out on the field and not to agree with those who, unsportingly, had made fun of a delicate situation.
Instead, nothing appointment on Monday for the ‘break the lines’, many elements already towards Piedmont clubs of C (Novara and Vercelli) and D.
Why did this happen? The dates and times of the two games had been known since the end of the regular seasonwith time to search for the vehicle.
So another one will come fine, around 2 thousand euros. Less than the cost of travel, food and accommodation. But it’s a ‘savings’ that hurt Alessandria a lot.
