PRE SEASON UPDATE
THE ANNUAL OPEN BEACH TRAINING SESSION AND PHOTO SHOOT IN PDC ON THURSDAY 28th JULY AT 7pm AND GENERAL INFO.
This year UD Lanzarote will be holding their annual beach photo shoot and training session on Playa Grande beach in Puerto Del Carmen at 7pm. (just up from Linekers and Hotel Fariones along the strip).
2014/15 squad on PDC playa grande beach.
If you fancy joining the team for a jog and a warm up or perhaps photos with players then all are welcome. It is normally a great fun event which the players and all attending enjoy immensly.
Fun in the sea.
The club is determined to gain promotion to Segunda B (League 1) this season and after finishing second for the past two season’s manager Adolfo Pérez has strengthened his squad and aim to go one league place better which would help put Lanzarote on the National footballing map.
Unfortunately to do this it does need money and the club has reluctantly put up the price of the entrance fee on match days. Adult non residents will be 8 Euros and residents 6 Euros. Pensioners will now cost, non residents 6 Euros and residents 4 Euros. All children 15 and under will still be admitted free of charge.
Abonos (season tickets) will cost 60 Euros adults and 40 Euros pensioners, still excellent value. Manager Adolfo has asked me to urge all foreign residents, long stay clients and holidaymakers to become a Socio (member) of the club.
Adolfo explained to me the importance of this as it gives the club strength when gaining sponsorship from the islands government offices. A Socio is a fan or simply a lover of the island who wants to show their support and a simple way to do this is to become a Socio. This also enables you to vote and attend those long boring meetings. To become just a Socio it costs 30 Euros per season. If you are purchasing an adult season ticket for 60 Euros then to become a Socio as well will cost a total of 75 Euros. Pensioner’s season ticket is 40 Euros but also to become a Socio will make it 50 Euros.
On Thursday the 4th August Lanzarote will be competing in the annual tournament in Tinajo and will face CD Tinajo at 9pm. On Saturday 6th August they will be playing either Yaiza or Fuerteventura side Unión Puerto at either 6pm (losers final) or 9pm (Gran final).
On Saturday 13th August Lanzarote will entertain Segunda B side CD Mensajero on our home ground at time to be confirmed. There will be other smaller games in between those dates but this will be mentioned on Facebook prior to the match.
The first league match is on Sunday 21st August but at this moment the draw has not taken place so we do not know if we are home or away. Fixtures will be updated as soon as we know.
The club is also bringing out an annual programme which will contain interviews with the Club captain Rosmen, manager Adolfo Pérez and President Domingo Machín. The programme will be A4 and contain a team pull out poster, details of our opponents and many other topics. The programme will cost 5 Euros however there will probably be an offer of ticket and programme at a cheaper rate. It looks as though the front cover of the programme will be a photo of British boy Louis Kennedy, please don’t let that put you off buying a copy.
If you have a bar, restaurant, car hire or anything, to advertise in the programme is extremely good value. For ¼ of a page it will cost just 200 Euros, half a page for 375 Euros and a full page only 700 Euros for the whole season. If you wish to advertise your business please contact me asap to guarantee your spot.
Abonos and Socio cards will be available from me and Brad (Lanzarote´s central midfielder) at either PDC Friday or Teguise Sunday markets 10am to 2pm from early August. The PDC market has been cancelled on Friday 29th July and August 5th due to the summer fiesta.
Viva Sarote!
