The Grada d’Animació, a collective of FC Barcelona fan groups, has issued a strong critique against the club’s board, accusing them of prioritizing profit over fan loyalty and club tradition.
They were denied access to their usual seats during matches at the Montjuïc Stadium, following a demand by the club to pay fines from the previous season. Barcelona wants a payment of 21,000 to pay off fines they say were a result of the Grada d’Animació’s activities.
The Grada d’Animació says the fines were incurred due to the activities of specific fans who do not represent the group’s overall mission or actions.
