Charge Cantù. For the finals against Trieste, we dream of a full house. Of course it won’t be easy. Because that PalaDesio, for almost a decade the lifeline of a Pallacanestro Cantù without an arena on site, will also be a godsend, but filling it all up… The spectators admitted are 6,300, even with a good turnout – let’s say 3 thousand – it seems half empty . Of course, at the time of the last Euroleague in Cantù, we got there in an amen. For certain derbies against Milan, the name of the opponent was enough to fill it. You want to fill up, in the difficult times of the A2, against Orzinuovi or Vigevano.
But now, with the finals coming up, there’s no turning back. The order is to flush out those who “the championship doesn’t count, I’m just going to the playoffs”. The response in games 1 and 2 against Udine was already good (4,300 and 3,800), more effort is needed from those who choose to enjoy only the best of the season. And, at best, we got there.
The best which could also coincide with a historic moment, namely the return to Serie A after three years. The definitive climb after two failed attempts.
This is why 5,000 is the minimum wage that is asked of the Cantù fans, even if the game is played in Desio and not on the weekend. In the background, a – for now – very distant possible race 5, again in Desio, on 15 June. There is no doubt that if the “beautiful” one was reached, the cashier would be satisfied. But it’s a safe bet that they’re all willing to give up a hefty profit in order to celebrate early.
