The aim was to attract the largest possible crowd to Rico Pérez on presentation day this Saturday, while also honoring the steadfast loyalty of fans who, even in moments of sorrow, feel the irresistible urge to stand with their team throughout the season. Initially, organizers recognized that offering free entry would foster a positive mood before the match. In the end, the club chose to keep the free entry option in place for some groups, thereby reinforcing the season-ticket campaign once again.
Free admission is reserved for those holding a 2023/24 season card and for the friendly against the Alicante venue. UCAM will close access after the threshold at 20 hours, marking Ruben Torrecilla’s final phase of the current training cycle. Other supporters will be required to purchase a ticket, with prices anticipated to be affordable depending on the seating area selected. The date noted for this event is August 26.
The club is approaching the 4,000-member mark and remains close to the target set for the first home league match, scheduled for Sunday, September 3, at eight o’clock in the evening. It is noteworthy that even after a difficult period for the club, subscriptions surpass expectations, with more than 5,000 fans showing their commitment—an indicator that the social base remains strong at five thousand or more despite turbulent times. This resilience reflects the enduring bond between the club and its supporters.
During the previous season, roughly 6,000 blue-and-white followers held a membership card, contributing to a total participation that extended into the mid‑season campaign activated during the Christmas holidays. Depending on the calendar dates, this campaign typically includes one or two matchdays in the first round. This pattern demonstrates the sustained appetite among fans to stay engaged and financially support the squad through various windows of opportunity.

Hercules has paused high‑profile publicity for its loyalty campaign and is directing communications solely through the club’s own channels and social profiles. The strategic shift away from traditional media coverage, even as representatives of the Ortiz family’s SAD altered messaging, did not dampen overall interest in committing to the team. It also did not yield a dramatic rise in dormant public enthusiasm, which continues to await the team’s competitive status to gain momentum once more. The core message remains focused on belonging and ongoing support, rather than external promotion, as fans line up to stand with the club under the banner of loyalty.
Torrecilla’s first project in Alicante, Peña’s second appearance on the pitch, and the third consecutive campaign across the fourth tier of national football are set to begin on the first weekend of September. These efforts carry the same spirit of social backing as previous campaigns, though with a slightly tempered pace as the season begins. The familiar chorus, “Yes, I’m from Hercules,” resonates with supporters, drawing them to a shared identity. The campaign’s slogan speaks to a sense of belonging rooted in family, tradition, and the enduring magic of football that binds stands, boxes, and the whole community together. The message remains a reminder that the club is more than a team on the field; it is a living community built on loyalty, history, and collective ambition, a source of pride for those who wear blue and white and show up season after season (Source: Hercules FC).
