Fan support

The fans were there this year supporting their team tirelessly. This year more than others the support for the fans has proved a turning factor in several games in the home stadium Heliodoro Rodríguez López in the Primera league of the BBVA.


At no time were there less than 15,000 fans in the stadium for any league game which was a substantial reason for the 30 home points gained stated the club website yesterday. The home win points was the highest of any team between 12th and 20th position in the classification of the league

In the end the stadium received more then 350 thousand visitors in total 350.302 which is a record in CD Tenerife's history. This is an average of 18.436 spectators per game, which is almost eighty per cent of the available seats in the Santa Cruz stadium.

The game which received most visitors was Tenerife-FC Barcelona, with 22.510 people; beating by 387 the game where José Luis Oltra's team played the other classic Spanish team Real Madrid, where there were 22.123 spectators.

The gates were over 20,000 another five times starting with the game against Club Atlético de Madrid, when there were 21.414 fans; and when Valencia visited, with 21.366.
Also the mass of fans were present in other games including the ones against Athletic de Bilbao (20.622), Sevilla (20.552) & finally Almería (20.810).

The 17,000 season ticket holders and the relationship between the team and the stands caused this success. A relationship which started in the year the team ascended to the first division. And the club are sure it will be repeated in the season 2010-2011 when CD Tenerife will try again to recuperate their place in the highest level.

President Miguel Concepción says

In the last couple of days the President of Club Deportivo Tenerife has talked about in the medium to long term building a 40,000 seater stadium. This would be built in conjunction with the Canarian Government in the area between La Laguna and Santa Cruz. This was talked about yesterday when the 15,000th season ticket was bought. Jorge Perera Castro was the Tenerife fan who registered for this season ticket and he was gifted one of the going up remembrance shirts with his name on it.
There has also been stated that the club will keep communication with the Spanish football federation that home games are not played at 4pm on Sundays due to the excessive heat. although negotiations failed for Sunday the 13th of September in the game against Osasuna the club will continue to fight for the players and the fans.
The refurbishment will not be finished by the start of the season and the VIP stand is expected to be finished by the winter break. The Offices under the Popular stand should be finished by the end of the season and this will allow the club to move their administration to the Stadium grounds.
Tickets went of sale this morning from 10am in the Stadium and in the registered sale points in Puerto de La Cruz and Playa de las Americas. Tickets are expected to sell out before the game starts.
The club president also stated that he expects the club to stay in the first division this year. He expects the support for the fans to help the players maintain the high level of play they had last year.

Gossip time

It is very quiet on the CD Tenerife front. There is no real news on the website. The club announced the shop has now finished stocktaking and has reopened. They also remember the anniversary of the team going up in 1989 20 years ago today. There was an interview with Toño Hernandez, a player at the time. He states he will never forget playing for the club and the experience of being in the team the year they went up. He is now assistant coach for the club
I have heard various rumours about the cost of the season ticket and will not repeat any more as the prices will be announced out in the next couple of days. The website has a new button to click which says abonos 09/10 but all you get when you click it is the same "Coming soon" message.
The AS also mentions the anniversary and Manolo's renewal on his contract.

15,000 Season Ticket holders needed

The club announced that the final number of season ticket holders last season was a little over 10,000. The hope is that this number will rise to 15,000 this season. The date for selling the season tickets has been postponed because of the refurbishment to the stadium and hasn't been announced.
In the meeting on thursday the 25th of June Miguel Concepción stated that the last time Tenerife was in the first division they had 12,000 season ticket holders and that he didn't see why they could not reach the 15,000. He then commented that everyone was interested in inowing when the sale would start. He stated that the season tickets would be on of the cheapest in the Primera division, that although they would go up it would not be by much and that the fans would be less than expected.

It has also been announced that Tenerife will not be buying a star player as if he is injured it would leve us with nothing. Better they commented to work at forming a strong block to play well. The sort of players Tenerife are looking for are ones who want to work and to comit themselves to the club.
