Hope, joy and 'Tetris': a new start after the fall of Deportivo La Coruña | Sid Lowe

Depor, Spanish champions 20 years ago, are now in the third tier but have been able to welcome fans back to Riazor after a seven-month absence

Just read that, crazy to think they were only a couple cm’s away from being promoted back to La Liga the season before they got relegated into the third tier, and not just a straight third tier either, 10 groups, and only 4 promotion places between 102 clubs!

Crazy to think given where they were in the mid 90s to mid 00s.

Roy Makaay was a beast of a Centre Forward

Always had a soft spot for Depor. Hope they get back ASAP. Stopped there in a cruise few years back beautiful part of the world, and really nice people.

Loved it when he scored against the bheasts from the east, albeit for Bayern

Is the title a really clever reference to Covid by any chance?

Can't believe they won it 20 years ago and are where they are. Feel bad for the fans.

On a separate note I named my fantasy football team Deportivo La Corona this season

 

[Wazza]

Wonder what they would have averaged for fans this season.

 

[AMC]

Mentions they have 20,000 season ticket holders in a 35,000 stadium so I imagine they’d be looking to sell outs if not close to that.

Always liked them. Valeron was an immense player.
