The two ghost hours of the possible Espanyol party

Saturday May 8 will always be remembered by all Spaniards as the last day of a state of alarm that has lasted (with some exceptions) for 14 months, which has lasted the hardest part of the coronavirus pandemic. For Espanyol fans, in addition, this day can go down in history as the day of the fifth of the promotion and a party marked by the change of regulations.

From the first hour, social networks have been filled with the hashtag #rcde, with messages of optimism for the meeting that will begin at 18:15 in Saragossa and with possible celebrations. The curious thing is that there will be two ghost hours, in which no one will be able to go out on the street. At 22:00 the last curfew begins in Catalonia, while at 00:00 the state of alarm ends, so it is allowed to go out, respecting the security measures that are in force (groups of more than six people are not allowed).

Meeting points in Barcelona are already running on the networks. Apart from that effervescence, the parakeets have wanted to wear their flags on the balconies and their shirts on the streets of Barcelona this very morning. Although, without a doubt, the big day in case of getting the promotion is expected on Sunday.

Although of course, and following the restrictive measures, official calls cannot be made, the first team will reach the RCDE Stadium around 12:00. As has happened in recent home games, there could be a massive welcome after a season in which fans have not seen their team compete in LaLigaSmartBank from the stands.
