Rayo Vallecano are set for another afternoon of protest before their next La Liga clash, a crosstown derby with Getafe at 16:15 CEST. That game will take place at Vallecas, and if President Raul Martin Presa has his way, it will be held elsewhere, as the largest fan groups protest the idea.
Presa has declared that Rayo have outgrown the stadium, and that there is no room for improvements on the current site, situated in the heart of the Vallecas neighbourhood, where Rayo were founded. Meanwhile Madrid mayor Carmen Diaz Ayuso has told the press that they are actively looking for new premises.
MANIFESTACIÓN EN DEFENSA DE NUESTRO ESTADIO.
Por su localización e historia.
Por pasión y defensa del patrimonio.
Porque necesitamos un estadio bien mantenido y no un pelotazo urbanístico.
