At ‘San Nicola’ broken a record that stood for 15 years

Apulian club confirms leadership in attendance at home games in the cadet league

It must have been the festive day, and the emblazoned opponent descending on the Apulian capital for the big-match of the nineteenth day, the last of the first leg, of the cadet championship. It must have been the desire to re-embrace Walid Cheddira, the idol of the biancorossi fans who returned from the incredible World Cup experience with Morocco and made himself available to coach Mignani in record time (by the way, the North African did score, but his goal was not enough to avoid defeat).

The excellent championship of the ‘Galletti’, who were immediately in the Playoff zone in their first year in the B series after so many championships in the lower leagues, will certainly have had its weight as well, but what happened at the ‘San Nicola’ on the Boxing Day postponement between the hosts and Genoa has something incredible.

The official figure on the spectators present at the ‘San Nicola’ for the match between Bari and the Grifone, released by the League, speaks of 48,877 attendees. In total, the B’s Boxing Day 2022 was a real success: 121,896 spectators in the ten matches played on December 26, the second record of the season after the one set on the eleventh day.
