Shortly after 12 noon on Thursday (28/3) Yannis Alafouzos also arrived at the offices of the Federation, to start the meeting for the final of the Cup.
Thodoros Karipidis and Achilleas Beos were already there, to put all the data on the carpet, with the dominant presence of course being fans of Panathinaikos and Aris.
It is noted that the final is scheduled for May 18 at the Panthessaliko Stadium.
A few hours later, Achilleas Beos left the meeting for the Greek Cup final at the EPO offices, stressing that he, as the mayor of Volos, is positive, under conditions, for the presence of 15,000 fans in Panthessalikos, he added, however, that the Giannis Alafouzos was negative in this possibility, wanting more tickets to be given to the teams.
More specifically, Mr. Beos, who stayed at the meeting for about 10 minutes, said upon his departure: “I am here because I was invited, but there is no point in staying, because as mayor my intention is to make it a final celebration . From there, the details are up to the EPO and the teams. So I don’t have a job. I, however, gave the green light for Panthessalikos. I remain the same approach regarding the fans in the final, but based on the history of the teams and that they do not have the same rivalry as others, we said under conditions that people should come to Volos. To have approximately 15,000 fans. My proposal is from 4,000 to each team in the horseshoes and 5,000 for the EPO to make available wherever it wants and to give to the teams as well if it wants. Mr. Alafouzos was negative, because he thinks little of the world. But the decisions will be made by EPO and the teams”.
In addition to what Mr. Beos mentioned, it should be noted that during the meeting the powerful man of Panathinaikos underlined that it does not meet any need to give 4,000 tickets to each team or even less, since the police, it should be noted, suggested that they be given from 3,000. The position of Panathinaikos, as expressed by Mr. Alafuzos, is negative for the final in Panthessalikos with so few tickets, since the needs of the season holders are not even met. Yiannis Alafouzos did not appear in accordance with the specific scenario, therefore, and initially asks for more tickets and maybe the Olympic Stadium will fall on the table again.
Besides, Achilleas Beos made a statement during his departure and about the referee of Volos-Kifissia: “It is a shame for everyone. The EPO already had to investigate how the name of the arbitrator (s.s. Diamantopoulos) was leaked without being announced. It’s a big scandal. A dirty background. Now the specific referee has been burned, but the authorities must investigate.”
Finally, he suggested that the EPO and the Municipality of Volos take over the costs for the cameras in Panthessaliko ahead of the final.
