Talked about the stadium again Michalis Boussis!
As part of Nikos Dabiza’s presentation, PAO OFI’s big shareholder made it clear that “Yedi Kule” is no longer a stadium capable of hosting the Cretan team, and again expressed its intention to build a new one!
In detail what he said:
“When we came out in Europe, we had stated as a second seat at the OAKA and I didn’t do it because I wanted to play in Athens, the team is of Heraklion and Crete. But it is a shame that there is no stadium for the whole island to play.
Yedi Kule has gone through the stages of his life, or he will not get permission or if he gets, he will take for six months or more. This is not a stadium for OFI, we are bigger than what some people think about OFI.
We need to have revenue from the stadium, Yedi Kule is a very nice stadium, but a very nice headquarters does not give you the comforts you want for families and to be a celebration, a feast for the child and the family.
We in the US when we go to the stadium, go 2-3 hours before the race, in Greece and other stadiums there are no right stadiums to make a celebration. I would like to build a stadium for people to come to support us.
There were 18,000 in the OAKA, where will this whole world come in? I want people to come as our Tripoli came to Tripoli, came to Astera, we went 18,000 to Athens and nothing happened. 80 Greeks came from America and then told me that you might have lost the race but you were a winner. What the OFI world has done in Athens has never lived Greece. We felt proud of what happened.
I don’t want to go into discussions and say after 5 years to say what we will do. We want to have our choices to build our new stadium. And the government to help, Mr. Arnaoutakis has a will to help, the mayor has the will to do, it can’t be something I can only want to do. “.
