Salerno, obstacle sports: the children remain outside the field

A false start. Or an illusory hope of a return to normality, for which it will be necessary to wait a few more days. The situation linked to sports facilities still shows its critical issues, despite the commitment of the Sports Commission of the Municipality of Salerno. And so, more than eight months after the start of the works for the redevelopment of the fields “From Gasperi” e “September”, the reopening is postponed again. Not before having sent an image to the archives which perhaps testifies in the best way to the state of the art and the need for numerous football schools in the area to return to what has been their home for years. Dozens of children who, like their families, had been announced that activities would be resumed, stopped in front of a gate closed with a padlock which prevents them from entering the “De Gasperi” playing field.

The surreal scene

Among the various companies involved with the basic activity, the case of Salerno Guiscardswhose youth sector is led by the coach Germano Ramorawho after having communicated to the parents of the baby footballers the time and the “new” location for training after months of pilgrimages around more or less crowded facilities Salerno and province, he found himself faced with a surreal scene. «We had planned to take to the field at 6.15pm but the club was only notified at 5.40pm, via messages, of new bureaucratic obstacles, hastily seeking an emergency solution and seeking hospitality at the Picentia Sports Center a Pontecagnano Faiano so as not to leave our little athletes empty-handed. We have crossed the line, there is only one month left until the end of the football season and we are still without facilities, this situation has been going on for almost a year».
