Three weeks after introducing the subscriber campaign, the Spanish believe you will achieve the goal of reach 30,000 members, a figure that had become a barrier since the early years of Cornellà-El Prat. At least, that is the rhythm, the best of the seasons and even higher than the expectations of the club, which takes until this Monday, after passing the direct debits to the members and subscribers who have decided to renew the card.
At the moment, Espanyol has 500 new registrations and stands at about 17,000 members who have already paid their fee. “We are way ahead of other years, it shows that people want to play football”, they comment from the entity, which has already put all the machinery to respond to the vicissitudes of this campaign. The club attends via email and by phone, in order to prevent fans from coming to the club's offices as a precaution due to the pandemic. The measures announced by the government of the return of the spectators at the beginning of the championship is a help to further boost demand.
Espanyol, through its official channels, reminds members who have already paid the domicile that they should not go to the stadium to collect the card as they will receive it at home soon. The return to normality, the ascent and the good wave that accompanies Espanyol after its successful passage through Segunda invite a successful campaign.

In a fallow market, the preseason and team performance can be one more push to reach that coveted figure.
