Advantages of being in the first division.

Kome has been called up by Camaroon to play in their match against Gabon on the . He will be gone from the 5th and the 9th of September. In previous years we have suffered when International players such as Kome or previously Frankowski had needed to be with their national teams for games. The second division has never stopped for international weeks but the first division does.
We will then not be missing our great player any more.

Juanlu is still injured and is not expected to play on Saturday. He is still doing physiotherapy and it is hoped he will be fit for the second game.

Ticket prices are now up on the club website and are as follows.
Tribuna - 65 euros
S.Sebastain - 45 euros
Herradura - 35 euros
Popular - 20 euros
If the wesite is to be belived there will be no cheap seats for children this year.
Below is a plan of the stadium so you can see where the seats are.


For those season ticket holders who want to change seats this will be possible after the first home game at a date that hasn't been specified yet.

First round game on La Sexta.

It was announced on the Zoneros website on Friday that the first game of the season, Zaragoza against Tenerife will be shown live on Saurday night at 9pm on La Sexta, an open Spanish Channel. This is a great start the the season and I am looking forward to it.
The club president stated last week that it had been impossible to organise a charter for this game so a lot of fans will not be going. The next away game is the Mallorca game which for many the flight will be too expensive but the 5th round is the Real Madrid game which is being sold by several travel agents, also as it is a cheap and easy flight a lot of people will be going on their own as well. Another easy game is the Valladolid game which you can take a flight to Madrid and drive or take the bus to Valladolid. We are going to the Real game and the Valladolid game and will keep looking for cheap flights for other games as they come up.

The club have now announced they have 13,200 season ticket holders, which is a record ammount of season tickets sold for CD Tenerife. I am sure they will get to the 17,000 they claim or as near to it as possible. Renewing season ticket holders have until the weekend of the first home game to pay for their renewal and this leaves another pay day before then. I am sure once the 1st-5th come we will see a scurry of renewals bring us up to the magic 17,000.

The good thing about pre-season is there are no points in play.

The good thing about pre-season is there are no points in play stated Nino on Sunday evening. The chance to try different things and to come into form with out the stress of every game counts. That said he followed up hoping they win the three games this week to give them confidence.

That was not to be at least for the first game in the Copa Puma against Elche. Tenerife lost 4-1 with goals from (41’) Santos, (47’) Saúl,(68’) Omar Ramos, (85’) Javi Lara and (89’) Perera. Although they played well especially in the first half the shots at goal were just that shots. There were about 3000 spectators there to watch the game even though it was raining.

On the plus side the club has announced they now have 11,000 paid season ticket holders for the coming season. As renewing season ticket holders have until the weekend of the first round to renew this seems a very positive sign. The club seems sure they will sell all 17,000 seats they have allocated for season tickets.

The club has edited a DVD of the highlights of last season which will go on sale for the 30th of August costing 2 euros with the purchase of any of the following newspapers. El Dia, Diario de Avisos or LA Opinion de Tenerife. The DVD will last approximately 1 hour

Luna Signed for 4 years.

Ezequiel Luna is now a CD Tenerife player. Although he played last year for the club he was on loan from Tiro Federal. There had been talk form them that they would sell him else where but finally CD Tenerife and they came to an agreement and he will now play for us for 4 years. He joined the players in La Palma yesterday Thursday as soon as the contract was signed.

The 2 friendly games in La Palma will be shown on Tenerife Television on Saturday and Sunday night at 8pm on Canal 4, this is a local channel. The first game against SD Tenisca is actually being played on Friday but will be shown on Saturday and the Sunday game against Santa Cruz de La Palma will be shown later in the day.

The moving season ticket sales desk will finish in Las Chafiras today Friday and will start on Monday the 3rd in Centro Comercial Pirámides de Martiánez in Puerto Cruz. It will then be from the 20Th of August to the 5Th of September in Centro Comercial Meridiano in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. They will also have a possibility to renew season tickets in La Palma in Santa Cruz La Palma on the 12Th of August in Los Llanos Aridane on the 13Th of August then in La Gomera on the 19Th in San Sebastian and on the 24Th of August in Valverde in El Hierro

We are going to reinforce all the lines.

"We are going to reinforce all the lines" said Santiago Llorente this week. With the exception of the goal Keeper the club C D Tenerife has announced that it will be contracting more players. With the contract renewal of Pablo Sicilia, Aragoneses and now Mikel Alonso the club has now move again to talks with Tiro Federal to see if there is a way for Luna to return next season. The Manager stated " we are not in a panic as we have a good base to work from, and with the present team deserve to be in the first division."



The club Website had more the 170,000 visits in June up 30,00 from their previous record in April 2009 of 136.899. This is an enormous increase and show how many people are interested in the club from all over the place. I have to say I check back most days as this is the location of most of my information and photos.



The mobile season ticket stand is on its way south next week so if you want to renew your season ticket there will be a desk in the Centro de Bricolaje y Ferretería Chafiras in Las Chafiras where you can collect your season ticket or pay to renew. From monday 20th July to the 1st of August. Opening times are Monday to Saturday from 11.00 a 15.00 and from 17.00 a 20.00 horas. The Club has announced that after 10 days sales 8,000 season tickets have been paid for including new ones and renewals.

The President of the club Miguel Concepción collected the 3 trophies CD Tenerife won yesterday in Las Rozas in Madrid at the Federation offices. The trophies were for the first team the fair play trophy, for the second team the 3rd Division championship trophy and for the Juvenil A the Canarian Champion.

Rumor says the second signing for the 21 year old Athletico Madrid winger Aitor Núñez. The player has come up from the unior teams he can play on both sides is a serious confident player and has good technical skills with the ball at his feet. Whether this is a loan or a signing I am not sure but we will hear about it soon.

Are these the season ticket prices and a new player

The club has announce they will hold a press conference on monday at 13.30 when the season ticket prices will be announced.



But there is floating around the Island a horror that the prices on the Zonablanquiazul.com website are true.

The San sebastian seats accordning to the site will almost double in price. This is an enormous increase. I am not sure if these are the prices and am waiting patiently to see but it would be a blow if they are especially as we need 3 season tickets.

The club have announced that the first contract with a new player has been signed, Carlos Belvís Lorens a left winger is coming from Valencia. He has layed the last 2 seasons for Numancia and Elche. he says he is pleased to play on the Island he hopes the club stays in Primera a long time and that if he gets a chance to play a lot of minutes that would be even better.

In tribute to Cristo Marrero

I was looking at some of the other blogs I read and there is a smashing report about an event which took place in the Frente Blanqiazul Peña hall. Cristo Marrero was there to be presented with something. This is one of the oldest if not the oldest fan club for Tenerife. Go read about it here Colin Kirby Blog

The morning was quiet for news, on the CD Tenerife website they are reminding season ticket holders for the Tribuna Alta that they can go and see where they now want to sit if they have seats in the area where the new Presidential box will be sited.

The first page says the campaign for season tickets will be starting soon. Friends of mine were in the bank ( Caja Canarias ) this morning and were told the season tickets will be 40% more expensive than last year but I wouldn't take that as gospel as I have heard all sorts of rumors. We will know soon enough.
They state the last 100 commemeration T-shirs are still on sale. 300 were made with the four years the club went up to Primera (The first Spanish Division). They are 75 euros each. As I now have 3 tshirts I have bought in the last month I will not be buying one. Best I like the ont with the 3 year plan from our president which was to be worn for Girona. Although I didn't get there I did wear it in Santa Cruz on the day of the game.

There were also announcements about Tenerife B and what a great season they had. Firstly they won their league and were champions of group 12 of the 3rd division with 81 points They had 21 consecutive wins. Before that the won the Copa Helidoro cup a local Island title.

There was still talk about Crespo in the paper but it seems now that Mora isn't coming.
I will find some more tomorrow.

CajaCanarias and online tickets.

The club has announced that Season tickets will go on sale from the first of July and that there will be 15000 available. They actually sold a little over 9,000 last year so this will be a big jump if they manage to sell them all. It has been announced that the cost will be the minimum. How much that actually is is still to be announced but I would guess we will know in the next few days. Also announced was that they will try to make buying them as easy as possible. There were interest free loans last year so maybe that will be available this year as well.

It was also announced in the presentation of the club in Caja Canarias that there is a plan in motion for tickets to be available for sale online next season. As CajaCanarias have a ticket selling business this seems only plausible. It will help residents in the North and the South of the Island. From the Stadium you can choose the seats that are available but in the other selling locations you can only choose form the tickets they have been given.

When is comes to transfers the AS has announced that in an interview with Braulio he has said he would only transfer to Tenerife. Tiro Federal Eziquel Luna's team seem very keen to sell him. They have announced they are awaiting an offer from CD Tenerife and perhaps they have put the price too high.

Tickets behind both goals have completely sold out and the rest are expected to sell during the week.
