Alcoyano has moved toward healing after a tense period that began in early August, when tensions rose around a subscriber campaign. Since then, fans have organized to support the team, planning a unified display of encouragement at the Nueva Condomina on Sunday as part of a broader community effort in Murcia.
A 54-seat bus has been arranged by the club to facilitate travel for supporters, a practical option announced to ensure more fans can participate. Those who attended the recent match against Murcia responded with strong enthusiasm, even as the club faced a difficult league start following a run of four straight losses.
Alcoyano clubs may return to El Collao
This period of recovery follows a notable rift that widened in August after the club unveiled new subscriber campaign prices on its website. Supporter groups came together for the first time since the disagreement, releasing a joint statement that called for certain measures and a leadership review at the club.
The club partially addressed concerns but left some issues unresolved, and supporters chose not to take the field for their league opener against Atlético Sanluqueño. Rather than a show of anger inside the stadium, they gathered on the outskirts of El Collao, cheering from outside the arena as a form of protest while still backing the team.
A few weeks earlier, a first meeting between the club and its supporter groups had taken place, hosted by the club’s owner and the interim president, with representatives from both sides present. The goal was to restart dialogue and pave a path toward reconciliation.
Amid the sporting rough patch, Alcoyano moved to accelerate engagement with fans. The club organized its first trip of the season and covered half of the 22-euro cost for participants, including entry to the Nueva Condomina on Sunday, making attendance more accessible for loyal supporters.
The atmosphere around the club has shifted as fans returned to the stands with renewed energy. A sense of collective responsibility is evident, and many supporters believe that unity is essential for turning the season around. With a blend of veterans and newcomers on the squad, there is a shared hope that time and continued backing will foster a stronger team.
Statements from the club emphasized appreciation for the supporters’ resilience and highlighted that the calendar has not been favorable. Still, management expressed optimism that things would improve from this point forward. The leadership acknowledged that adjustments on and off the pitch would take time, and they stressed the importance of a stable, united fan base working together with the team for the season ahead.
