Castellón v Albacete, improved pitch and crowd measures as fans rally behind Suero | OneFootball

SkyFi Castalia showcased a far better pitch and tighter crowd management as Castellón hosted Albacete.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, after a poor opening-weekend surface, the grounds team delivered a clear upgrade.

Visiting fans were moved to Gol Norte Alto. After congestion against Sabadell, security prioritised home exits and opened two gates to reduce queues.

Official attendance was 12,699. The stands looked superb.

Post-window, Castellón unveiled squad numbers to run until January. New midfielder Matías Orozco, Maty, took 6 left by Marco Doué, sold to Cádiz. Italian defender Federico Ceccherini chose 11.

Mayor Begoña Carrasco watched from the directors' box with fellow officials. Club president Haralabos Voulgaris attended with general director Alberto González and head of recruitment Ramón Soria.

More than 400 Albacete fans travelled, helped by the cordial ties between both sets of supporters. The orelluts are sure to return the visit for the reverse fixture.

Suero, who sat out the previous round after notifying the club of an offer, came on after the break, scored and changed the game. He was acclaimed, with fans urging him to stay during and after.

Castellón's Juvenil A began División de Honor with a 2-0 win over Torrent at Gaetà Huguet, through Marcos Fernández and Raúl Ruiz.
