Deportivo La Coruna has sparked controversy by sending yesterday an exclusive notice to Marathon Inferior season ticket holders, imposing in‑person renewal and bans on flags. The move arrives as the side sits 2nd in Segunda División with 77 points, after a LWWWW run that keeps it 5 points behind leaders Racing Santander.

What does the notice say?

The club has classified the Marathon Inferior ticket as a "specific modality" and warned that any breach could lead to immediate expulsion from the stadium, a precautionary suspension of the title and revocation of the ticket. Renewal must be done in person, presenting a valid ID, and the ticket will be non‑transferable, unlike other season ticket holders who can renew online.

Why are fans outraged?

Marathon Inferior supporters feel the club is creating a double standard. On X (formerly Twitter) they wrote, "when it seemed we already had a 30% ticket price rise, this shameful notice arrives." They denounce the ban on flags, banners and any symbols not allowed by current legislation, as well as the imposition of entry controls in time slots, which they see as disrespect to a historically loyal stand.

What does this mean for the club's future?

The announcement comes at a crucial moment: Deportivo La Coruna, with 65 goals scored and 44 conceded (goal difference +21), is pushing to cement its place in the promotion race. The latest loss, Deportivo La Coruna 1-2 Las Palmas (2026‑05‑31), left the side with two consecutive defeats in the last five games (LLWWW). Managing fan relations will be vital to keep momentum before the season's final stretch.

How will the club respond?

So far, the board has not provided a detailed explanation, though a meeting with Marathon Inferior representatives is expected. Critics demand a review of the clauses and equal rights for all stands. Meanwhile, supporters continue backing the team inside and outside Riazor, reminding everyone that "we are not criminals" and that their commitment to Deportivo remains unshaken.
