A small group of Real Mallorca supporters said their final farewell to the Luis Sitjar stadium yesterday as council officials arrived to start planning the demolition of the city centre sports ground.
Not even the pouring rain could stop a group of council architects and planning officials arriving at the now abandoned stadium to begin their task which will cost in excess of 1.5 million euros. The city council said yesterday that Real Mallorca would be footing the bill for the demolition work, and not the council as previously reported. But with Real Mallorca continuing to suffer severe financial problems the council will probably have to wait for their money.
Real Mallorca vacated the Luis Sitjar in the late 1990s and and moved to their present home, the Son Moix stadium leaving behind a long legacy of Mallorca matches at the Luis Sitjar including European clashes against Chelsea and league showdowns against Real Madrid and Barcelona. It will take weeks to demolish the stadium but the Luis Sitjar is now into extra time.
