Sport fans fume as Flamengo match moved to Arena, see the reactions | OneFootball

Sport confirmed that the game against Flamengo will not be at Ilha do Retiro, but at Arena Pernambuco

Sport announced on Thursday night (09) that the postponed game against Flamengo will be at Arena Pernambuco, not at Ilha do Retiro. The decision outraged fans of the Recife team, who are even considering a 'zero audience' campaign for the match.

WHAT WERE THE REACTIONS OF SPORT FANS?

“The disconnect is glaring… That is, from the day the opposition raised the issue and the board denied the contract was signed and the money received. Another embarrassment for our account”.

“They failed to mention that the visitor's ticket load will be 30%, you bastards, which NEVER HAPPENED IN SPORT'S HISTORY”.

“Of all the things that have happened in recent years, this is talk of stopping cheering. I will never accept this embarrassment. ZERO AUDIENCE”

“Sport announces that it has decided to further humiliate its fan who has shown so much support this year. The decision, which characterizes the poor management of the club, was made after the Club ignored the fans' wishes and diminished even more, not enough with the sporting failures”.

“No relegation, thrashing suffered or similar fact was as shameful as this”.

WHY SO MUCH OUTRAGE?

Despite being virtually relegated to Serie B of the Brasileirão, Sport's fan was eagerly awaiting the confrontation with Flamengo. The dream of the Pernambucans is to hinder Mengão's walk towards the enneachampionship.

With the transfer to Arena Pernambuco, fans understand that the stadium is more 'neutral' and would not have the same pressure as Ilha do Retiro. In addition, Sport will give 30% of the ticket load to the Flamengo fans, practically dividing the audience in half with the Nation.

Finally, Arena Pernambuco is not in the municipality of Recife, but in São Lourenço da Mata, 17 kilometers from Ilha do Retiro. The place is hard to reach and usually has a lot of traffic on big game days, like the one with Flamengo.

WHEN WILL SPORT X FLAMENGO BE?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that Sport x Flamengo will be on November 13, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), valid for the 12th round of the Brasileirão. The game had to be postponed, as, on the original date, Mengão was preparing to travel to the United States, for the Club World Cup.
