Deportivo La Coruna has announced that starting Wednesday season ticket holders in the Marathon Inferior will have to renew in person, present their ID and accept eight rules on identification and behaviour. The move arrives as the side sits 2nd in Segunda División with 77 points, after a recent run of LWWWW.

What specific changes are being imposed?

The club sent a letter to Marathon Inferior holders outlining eight mandatory points. These include in‑person renewal at the Riazor OAD, the requirement to show an official document and the acceptance of conduct rules that forbid any intimidation or illegitimate pressure. Additionally, Deportivo will take charge of animation coordination, limiting banners and chants to authorised personnel.

Why is the club controlling the animation?

According to the statement, the aim is to create "a visible, participative, orderly and positive support environment" for the first team. The club stresses that Marathon Inferior will not become a confrontation zone and that the organisation of the stand will remain under its exclusive control. The rules follow LaLiga guidelines, although it is not yet confirmed whether the area will officially become an animation stand.

What does this mean for season ticket holders?

Tickets will remain strictly personal, nominative and non‑transferable. They will not grant any privilege in the allocation of visitor‑match tickets; those will be reserved only for official fan clubs registered in the Followers Register, under stricter identification rules. The club may also demand a minimum attendance or release seats if a holder fails to meet the required presence.

What is Deportivo's competitive context?

The announcement comes while Deportivo La Coruna sits 5 points behind Racing Santander, the league leaders. With 65 goals scored and 44 conceded (+21 goal difference), the team is pushing to cement its place in the promotion race. The last result was a 1‑2 loss to Las Palmas on 31 May 2026, but the recent LLWWW form shows momentum the club wants to channel into the stands as well.

What’s next for the ticket holders?

Marathon Inferior members will receive the email with the document to sign and must visit the OAD before the ticket campaign closes. The club has said the new policy will be effective from the next match, meaning attendance and rule compliance will be checked immediately. Any breach could lead to ticket loss or disciplinary sanctions.
