Alicante and Valencia embrace Athletic

Alicante and Valencia embrace Athletic

The peñista weekend between Alicante and Valencia has once again been an example of strength and zuri-gorri affection.

The peñista weekend between Alicante and Valencia has once again been an example of strength and zuri-gorri affection. The words of Paco Alfaro, one of the delegates from the West zone, were worthwhile when the clubs of the capital city of Valencia met this morning at the headquarters of the Peña Txapela Medio Lao: “The Mediterranean is so alive”. A forceful affirmation and that not only stays these days in the Valencian Community, but that would be valid for any territory from the Costa Brava to Gibraltar through the Balearic Islands.

The Peña de Mislata, Gainza, David López and the Peña de Cruz Cubierta came together in Txapela Medio Lao to receive all the supporters who have come to tuck our team in Mestalla. A twinning in which the Mayor of Mislata was present and he received a gift from President Aitor Elizegi. Carlos Gurpegui or Jose Angel Iribar also had a detail with Julen, the young red-and-white amateur who recovers with race and courage of a heart transplant and seven operations, and who has not wanted to miss the opportunity to encourage Athletic in Valencia.

A great festive day that already on Saturday rose the standard with the inauguration of the Peña Athletic Club Novelda. Although it has been in operation for some time and with good course, the coincidences of the calendar and the fact that the teams from Alicante no longer appear by the elite, had delayed the officiality process. Nearly 300 people met at its headquarters for a long set where also attended another former lion, David Lopez, who currently plays precisely in the ranks of Novelda.
