Chapter 55: Fan Representatives

Trapani also had fan organizations in the past, but as Trapani's record became worse and worse, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy, the fan organizations were also weak, and last year, the audience who came to the scene to watch the game was sometimes less than 1,000 people, and the fan organizations never held any activities.

This year is different, Hugo has changed the shell, but with the continuous improvement of Trapani's results, coupled with the fact that Trapani's management has said on different occasions that our goal is Serie A, our Trapani fans are also going to see the world, so under the impetus of the record and a bright future, the enthusiasm of the fan organizations has also increased, and the various fan organizations have also expanded rapidly.

The fans who come into their sight first go to the members of the fan organization and then say that they are not members of Trapani Football Club, and then they have to collect some money, and they want to engage in activities in the name of fan gatherings, drinking, eating, and going to the away stadium.

The heads of these fan organizations are all brilliant guys, and it stands to reason that the people here don't have much money, but these leaders are forcing their members to pay a membership fee of 50 to 200 euros, and their membership fee expenditure books are of course just fraud, and these leaders are just pockets.

There are not too many members in each group, but at the end of the year, the head can get some good benefits.

This is a fan organization, and there are some small traders who are always better at making heads, they see that the situation of Trapani is improving now, and with the contribution of Hugo of the Colini family, they have also begun to make and sell some souvenirs, scarves, etc., and the clothing factory they cooperate with has also produced a batch of jerseys, making a lot of fan money.

Fabio. Costa is the leader of the fan organization of the "Trapani", he was originally a street gangster, he is still a little related to the Colleni family, there is an interest in football, he was the founder of this fan organization a long time ago, this organization was depressed last year, but this year it came back to life, he and his brothers recruited a total of nearly 100 fan members, paid at least 100 euros a year, and the annual membership fee alone was about 10,000 euros, Costa made false accounts, At least three or four thousand fell into his pocket.

However, in the last few days he has heard very bad news, it is said that Trapani will start at the next home stadium and will sell tickets, the price is a jaw-dropping 10 euros a game, this price is too fucking high for the team that has been in the D League, and it is too fucking high for Trapani fans, 10 euros can buy a lot of food at this time, maybe someone can eat a little rougher, and can eat for three or four days!

Why?! Why do you have to charge such a broken team, you don't necessarily want to go to the scene to watch the game if you give a euro!

Costa thinks so, but he also knows that after the ticket is charged, how many people in his gang are willing to continue to be stupidly deceived by themselves?! He knows that these fans must be reluctant to spend money to watch the game, because of habits, everyone has become accustomed to watching the game for free every weekend, and now they have to charge for it, which is psychologically unacceptable.

Since there won't be too many people who accept it, his fan organization is naturally about to face a depression, and the ball is gone, what kind of fan organization do you join, shouting five and six all day long?!

He didn't know what the heads of other organizations thought, anyway, he was quite concerned about this matter, and he hoped that the team would continue to watch the game for free, so that he could continue to enrich his own pockets and continue to deduce those enthusiastic fans.

"Fabio, why do you have time to come to me today?!" In the evening, Giorgio's coffee shop was doing well, and Costa, who was often seen in bars, appeared in the café today.

Although Giorgio spends a lot of time and energy on the team, his café is open as usual, his wife and eldest son, who has dropped out of school, are in charge of the café, and he will help out in the evening when he is resting.

"Why can't I come?! I don't want to drink anymore today, I just want to drink some of your coffee! Costa pulled out the money, placed it on the table, and smiled, "Can you sit down and talk?!" ”

Giorgio looked around, there weren't many guests at this time, so he sat down, he thought that Costa must have something to tell him.

"Ask you something!" Costa gets straight to the point.

"Uh-huh, let's talk about it!" Giorgio said he was listening.

"I've heard that the team is going to start selling tickets, that's not true, is it?!" Costa asked.

"Hey, you've heard it all! I wanted to tell you! This may not be good news for you! Ha ha! Giorgio knew what Costa was doing behind his back, and he grinned and teased.

"So it's true?!" Costa was a little frustrated.

"It's true, Gigi has already said that the ticket booth will be used at the next home stadium, and he only started to price 20 euros a game, and under my persuasion he changed it to 10 euros a game!" Giorgio spread his hands and said, as if to say that this ticket sale is not my business.

"Is he crazy?! At such a level, he dared to ask for such an expensive ticket price! Costa thought Hugo must be crazy.

"I don't agree with that, it's time for the team to collect some ticket money, you have to think about the club, there are 17 home games all year round, even if there are 5,000 spectators per game, 10 euros of tickets, after deducting taxes, deducting the commission of the town hall, we can make 200,000 euros is not bad! After the team is upgraded, it is necessary to further professionalize, to buy players, to upgrade the training ground, etc., do you think these don't cost money?! Well, though, 10 euros seems to be a bit expensive! Giorgio complained, and finally told the truth.

"If you continue like this, there will be no fans coming to the stadium to watch the game!" Costa said in a disdainful tone.

"That's what I told Gigi, but he didn't listen!" Giorgio shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't do anything, and for a moment, Giorgio's eyes rolled and said to Costa, "Fabio, I think you can go and talk to Gigi, you are the fan representatives, maybe he will listen to what you say!" ”

Giorgio's instigation is not without reason, he wants to break his head and doesn't know why Gigi wants to sell tickets, and only two parties know the reason for this, one is Hugo and the other is Little Morek.

That night Morek mentioned the safety of the stadium, and Hugo finally came up with a trick that Morek "admired", and the name of this trick was "collect money!" Set a high ticket price to stop the fans who come to watch the game, to put it bluntly, not to overcrowd here, and the natural safety problem will also be solved.

"Dude, don't you know that this will leave the stadium empty?! Our team is rooted in the locals, and the fans are neighbors, so it's not good! That's how little Morek persuaded his cousin.

However, Hugo said: "Who said this team is rooted here?!" This team is rooted in me, I'm paying for the team to grow, I'm paying for the team, I'm lending the stadium, I'm buying the players, I'm building the training ground, I'm paying the salary! I don't care about the opinions of the fans at all, if you really love this team, let them bleed, if you don't want to, you don't have to like this team, hurry up and like the three bears of the north! Look at how good this idea is, I don't believe they will spend money to watch the game, the capacity of the stadium is like that, and now it is impossible to ask me to invest money to expand the capacity, because I have no money! If you can't expand the capacity, just don't let them come to the stadium! ”

"It's a bit too hurtful to say it directly, it's a good idea to set a high ticket price! I knew I was so smart! "Hugo is not ashamed, but proud.

Costa listened to the instigation of the general manager Giorgio, and suddenly felt that he was amazing, right, we are the representatives of the fans, Gigi is in the bullfork, can he do against the fans?! I have to consider the feelings of the fans, if I can tell the boss Jiji not to do this, can my fan organization absorb more people, and I can get more benefits?!

Costa has a dream, Giorgio really doesn't like Gigi's current style, he doesn't know what to do now, just like Costa here, he also thinks that the fans can have a great influence on Gigi, Giorgio has a deep relationship with the fans, attaches great importance to the fans in his native hometown, and thinks that leaving the fans Trapani is still a team?! Even if it was a team without a source of mental strength, he didn't want to see his fans slaughtered, so Costa became the first target he convived.

Then there was the second, the third, Giorgio privately lobbied the heads of several fan groups, and then, after the club posted an announcement to sell tickets, he met with Hugo and said that the outside fans were very dissatisfied with the club's move to start selling tickets, and some people had already said that they would once again demonstrate downstairs at the headquarters.

"Yo, these guys who are underwhelmed, I didn't clean them up last time, and now they're getting more and more arrogant, right?! Think I'm the Jesus carved in wood in the church?! Hugo said angrily, the last time there was a small-scale parade, Hugo didn't bother some people, this time these people are still coming?!

"Ahem, Gigi, it's always bad to do something to the fans in your hometown, it will affect your reputation, I think it's better to listen to their opinions!" Giorgio persuaded.

It seems that it's not good to really beat them, Hugo thought for a while, okay, I'll make it clear to you hillbillies in person, the ball game is not a free lunch.

Costa and the others came to meet Hugo with trepidation, but they were going to meet with the members of the Colleni family, and the last time someone protested that Hugo had changed the traditional colors of the team emblem and jersey without permission, but they were not retaliated against, which gave them courage.

Costa is still related to Hugo and is publicly elected as the main "negotiator"!

When he saw Gigi, Costa's face was full of smiles, "Master Gigi, do you remember me?!" The last time you were injured, I used to follow my grandfather to see you! ”
