LEGNANO – A bare field where the grass makes an ugly display Palio track. Grass growing here and there and towards the gate an expanse of sand. The photo, taken recently and published by the FB group “Friends of Ac Legnano Andrea Rinaldi”, says a lot about the conditions of the Mari stadium whose agreement expired on Sunday.
What will happen now? In the meantime, we await the moves of patron Benedict who had explained a few days ago that he was aiming for the team to be registered in Excellence and to deal with the team on a daily basisSports Councillor of the municipality of Legnano, Guido Bragato.
The municipality will have to evaluate how concrete the response of Ac Legnano can be for the management of Mari and what the guarantees are, which currently would not be covered. Benedetto is inhibited and under criminal proceedings by the investigating judge of Alessandria. Thinking that a municipality could sign an annual agreement with him is pure utopia.
On the other hand, we are waiting for the July 10th deadline to understand whether someone else will come forward or not. Otherwise the municipality could also decide not to spend money to redo a field which will effectively remain unused until May 2025 when the Palio will be run.
