🛑 Regional government, no access to Rayo's ground to start works | OneFootball

Rayo Vallecano has denied access to the technicians from the Community of Madrid who were supposed to begin renovation work at Vallecas Stadium today.

The technicians have been at the gates of Vallecas Stadium since nine in the morning, unable to get in. Rayo Vallecano has neither opened the doors to them nor handed over the keys, according to Cadena SER.

The more than 100-page audit commissioned by the Community regarding the stadium warns that the situation “may pose a risk to people.” Mariano de Paco Serrano, the regional Minister of Culture and Sport, specifies that the stadium’s structure is in perfect condition and that the problem is one of “serious regulatory non-compliance” in overall maintenance.

The Community, which owns the stadium, terminated the club’s concession yesterday due to that non-compliance. The workers — gardening, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning — have only been able to work outside, in the area not covered by the club’s concession.

The regional ministry says it wants to respect the club until it allows access, even though the stadium is publicly owned. If the situation continues like this, it could lead to a more uncomfortable scenario for all parties.
