Zaragoza's Christmas Cracker: Club Foots the Bill for Away Day at Burgos
Real Zaragoza, along with players and coaching staff, make a festive gesture by covering ticket costs for loyal supporters traveling to crucial Burgos clash.
In a heartwarming festive gesture, Real Zaragoza have decided to reimburse all 432 fans who snapped up tickets for their upcoming away trip to Burgos.
Proper Decent Gesture
The club announced that the entire cost of the away allocation - which sold out in just four hours - will be covered jointly by the club, players and coaching staff. That’s £25 (€25) straight back into the pocket of every traveling supporter who’d already committed to making the journey.
It’s not exactly cheap as chips to follow your team away from home these days, so this Christmas present will go down a treat with the loyal Zaragoza faithful who’ve stuck with their team through some proper difficult times.
Finding Form at Last
The timing couldn’t be better, as Zaragoza have finally started to turn their season around:
- Currently sitting bottom of Segunda División
- But have taken 10 points from their last possible 12
- Now just two points from safety
- Supporters credited as key factor in recent improvement
The club explicitly mentioned this ticket reimbursement was a way of thanking fans for their “constant commitment” and for being supporters “who never give up” - which is a bit of the old dog’s dinner when you consider how dire things looked just a few weeks back.
Logistics Sorted
The club’s confirmed that all 432 fans who purchased tickets through the online system will automatically receive refunds to the payment cards they used. The reimbursements are expected to process in the coming days, ensuring everyone’s sorted before the match.
With El Plantío’s away end now guaranteed to be packed with Zaragoza supporters at no cost to themselves, the atmosphere should be absolutely brilliant. Talk about a proper Christmas bonus!
Season Turnaround?
If Zaragoza can maintain their recent form, they could find themselves out of the relegation zone before the new year - which would be some turnaround considering how they’ve been propping up the table.
With the supporters now having 25 extra euros in their sky rockets (that’s pockets for you non-Londoners), perhaps they’ll be even louder than usual at Burgos. The perfect Christmas gift that could help deliver three more vital points.
