Rayo Vallecano sets its return to Vallecas for October 10 against Athletic Club

Rayo Vallecano is counting down the hours to bring to an end the forced exile that has led it to play three home matches at Butarque. The pitch at the stadium on Payaso Fofó street has already begun the transition to winter grass, with the aim of being in optimal condition for the team’s return, scheduled for Saturday, October 10 at 2:00 p.m. against Athletic Club on matchday eight. The coach himself, Beñat San José, confirmed at a press conference that the reseeding work is progressing well after personally inspecting the surface and receiving assurances about its condition, stating that the squad plans to resume training sessions at the stadium itself ahead of the crucial clash against the Basque side.

However, the return home has not eased the discontent sparked by the precautionary suspension of the concession agreed in the summer by the Community of Madrid due to the board’s failure to meet maintenance requirements. Through a statement issued by the ADRV Platform, Rayo supporters’ clubs have announced they are pursuing a joint legal claim against Rayo Vallecano S.A.D., under the direction of lawyer Javier Flores. Season-ticket holders, who consider themselves the “great forgotten ones” in the administrative dispute, will seek by legal means a proportional refund for their season ticket for the three matches they were unable to watch at Vallecas against Alavés, Racing de Santander and Espanyol, under the terms set out in the season-ticket campaign itself and the region’s Public Entertainment Law.

On the institutional front, the parliamentary response of the Community of Madrid to the Más Madrid group has brought to light the itemized figures of the Master Plan for the comprehensive renovation of the venue, according to documents revealed by Unión Rayo. The plan sets out an approximate budget of 60 million euros, divided into 36.9 million earmarked for the stadium renovation and 20.18 million for the construction of a multifunctional complex with parking on the public plot at Arroyo del Olivar. The proposal includes restoring the fourth stand on Teniente Muñoz Díaz, increasing capacity to 18,500 seats, and adding VIP boxes, a food market and hospitality areas to make use of the venue all year round, in works estimated to last 24 months that will be carried out while trying to keep them compatible with the competition schedule.
