‘Aquí todos somos del CD Castellón’: how a banner united a building | OneFootball

A block at 26 Calle Herrero in Castelló has overtaken El Fadrí as the city's most photographed landmark after neighbours hung a giant banner charting CD Castellón's crests. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the idea was led by resident Daniel Gual, who says, "Aquí todos somos del CD Castellón".

Their first effort came in 2017/18, when the club were still in Tercera División. Branded "Pam, pam, orellut", that campaign ended in promotion.

The block is steeped in albinegrismo. The parents of Marc Guidotti, the club's head of press, live there, as does Paco Tena of AD Levante, a former Orellut sponsor.

He lost his seniority during the David Cruz era, returned under Vicente Montesinos, and is convinced Castellón will be back in Primera, if not this year then soon.

He is delighted with the present, praising the football and saying he has even left Castalia happy without a win. He adds that Bob Voulgaris knows what he is doing.

Wear and shared optimism prompted a new banner, produced by local firm Errequeerre. From the Resistencia Orellut peña, brand specialist Iván Catalán proposed designs and the neighbours picked the evolution of the crests.

Since it went up days ago, passers-by have stopped to take photos and the club shared the facade on social media. Gual hopes more buildings follow so the whole city turns black and white, saying the moment deserves it.
