Burgos send appeal to fans to help clear snow from pitch
The Segunda B side asked for supporters to turn up early to help make the pitch playable ahead of the game against Barakaldo on Sunday.
Segunda B side Burgos CF sent an appeal out to home supporters to get to the Estadio Municipal de El Plantío as early as possible on Sunday to lend a hand in clearing a blanket of snow from the pitch ahead of the side’s game against Barakaldo at 17:00.
“After inspecting the pitch all parties have decided to play the fixture. As such, BCF calls on all of its fans who are able to come as early as possible to El Plantío to help remove the snow on the pitch,” the club said on its official Twitter account.
Burgos boss and fitness coach lead by example
Burgos manager Patxi Salinas and fitness coach David Carnero were the first to pick up a shovel and get stuck into the white stuff. The call was quickly picked up by Burgos fans and half the snow had been removed from the pitch with four hours to go until kick-off.
