The strength of a feeling of 28,479 members in Second

Four days after the start of LaLiga SmartBank against Albacete at the RCDE Stadium, and a month and a half after the club celebrates its 120th anniversary, Espanyol has made official the number of subscribers for the first season that will start with the security measures by COVID-19. The fans will not be able to go to the stadiums yet, and the tickets are free for those who renew, but the perico club has grown in social mass, just over 400 fans as AS assured yesterday. The official figure is 28,479.

The catharsis of relegation to Second has not caused a decrease in the number of followers. Espanyol is aware that if the team accelerates from the first day and from next year the public is allowed to enter the stadiums, as expected by the Government, the achievement of the promotion could once again relaunch the number of subscribers and place it in new in those 30,000 of the early years of RCDE Stadium. Circumstance that did not cause the European classification the previous season.

The club, which has published a motivational video in which it recovers the slogan of the 'Força d'un Sentiment', created by Manel Fanlo in the 90s, curiously when Espanyol lived a time between the Second and First, perhaps the most delicate moments at a sporting level, with the demolition and sale of Sarrià as the end point of a time of change in Spanish football.
