The club will return to the members who have the subscription in those sectors the amount that corresponds to a match, estimated at 15 euros.
After presenting allegations of said sanction to the Competition Committee itself and, later to the Appeals Committee in March 2017, the adoption of precautionary measures to suspend the sanction requested in order to defend himself was initially accepted.

The Central Court ruled in September 2018, maintaining the partial closure sanction, but annulling the pecuniary sanction of 6,001 euros, before which the club filed an appeal before the National Court, which dismissed it in March 2021, reimposing its once the pecuniary penalty. The club filed, as a last resort, an appeal before the Supreme Court, which finally agreed to reject the appeal for processing.

The club will contact the subscribers of both sectors, about 600, to explain how the refund will be made.
