Atlético de Madrid already know their schedule for the month of September, a schedule that has caused quite a stir among the Atlético fans. The red-and-whites will play all their matches at 9:00 p.m., with Sunday being the busiest day in the league calendar for the Atlético de Madrid. Given the monotony and complexity of the schedules dictated by the competition, the Atlético fans have echoed this controversial schedule and have not hesitated to respond.
General indignation among the colchoneros supporters
Through a written statement published by the Unión Internacional de Peñas del Atlético de Madrid , the organisation in favour of Atlético supporters has expressed its disagreement. On the social networks of said association, its leaders have made public their complaints about this schedule stipulated by LaLiga and have fiercely charged against Javier Tebas . The president of the competition has been, once again, the object of criticism for his controversial management and for what they consider a lack of respect for the Atlético fans .
Last season, Atlético de Madrid played an average of 22 league games at 9pm, the vast majority of which were on Sundays. A huge part of Atlético fans are fed up with this disregard for their club in terms of the schedule and the inaccessibility of the times, as they have expressed. As well as being detrimental to those season ticket holders who go to the Metropolitano every weekend to cheer on the team, it is also extremely complicated for children and adults who live far away.
Those who live on the outskirts of the Community of Madrid or who come from far away to see Atlético de Madrid in action will have it extremely difficult this month. The Atlético supporters' clubs, for their part, will suffer significant financial losses by not being able to fill their buses when they have to go to the match at Atlético 's home ground. For reasons such as these, the Atlético fans have tried on repeated occasions to mediate to put an end to this embarrassment without any result, in addition to other controversies.
Opposition to preferential treatment
The famous Madrid derby has already been confirmed for Sunday 29th September at, as mentioned, 9pm at the Metropolitano , in the first instance. What has been criticised is the fact that Real Madrid have two more days of rest than the colchoneros, which is somewhat unfair for such an important event. Trying to remedy this and trying to move the matches, Atlético de Madrid fans have raised their voices against what they have called "LaLiga de Tebas" .
Fed up with the situation
Tired of the Madrid-Barcelona duo that has dominated the competition for decades, Atlético fans demand a little respect for their team and the rest of the LaLiga clubs. Atlético fans are fed up with the usual favouritism for the two teams and the attitude they consider "disrespectful" on the part of a competition of such cachet as the Spanish League . At the expense of being able to find a solution that satisfies everyone and that remedy the situation, the Atlético supporters' clubs have already raised their voices to resolve it.
