The stadium in Clinceni, used by Metaloglobus and Unirea Sloboziais in a deplorable state: small and dirty changing rooms, and the toilet in the guest lodge has a direct glass to the ground! The chairs and nighttime come from the former Ghencea stadium and CFR Cluj. The arena received only temporary approval, until winter.
CFR Cluj is the last formation of Superliga to play an official match in Clinceni, in the equal 1-1 with Metaloglobus, on Saturday night.
Before the start whistle, a dense smoke from the barbecues near the stadium, together with the smell of small, took over “Clinceni Arena”. In addition to this, the Cluj also reported “disastrous conditions”.
“It's not normal to play there! You say we were playing at Vama Veche”
CFR Cluj was not the only team that criticized the state of the stadium in Clinceni, where Metaloglobus and Unirea Slobozia evolve. “You can't approve something like this,” said Rapid.
The most vehement was Mihai Stoica, the official of FCSB. “In the locker room it was a smell … I think it was a corpse there buried …”said MM.
“It is not normal to play there! You cannot approve such lands! As you left the locker room, in the right corner I searched umbrellas, because it was a small, virgin, with some grass tufts. You say I was playing at Vama Veche …”, Mm pointed out.

You go to the toilet and see the match … Live, on the window!
A GSP team went to the match between Metaloglobus and CFR Cluj. The press conference was held in a dining room reminiscent of a provincial restaurant, with wooden chairs and tables, from communism.
The lockers looked like a postal office abandoned in a forgotten hamlet, and the stands were dusty. Obviously, 90% of them were empty! In total, about three hundred spectators.
“At the official stand there is a toilet with the window directly to the ground. If you do your needs during the match, you have every chance to see the players. Well, it is not filmed to this stand, that the show was coming out! ”, The disclosures sound.

And so it is! In the guest lodge there is a tiny room, a sink as small and a toilet placed in the middle, with a direct view of the ground.
The chairs in Ghencea, nocturna from CFR
In addition to the deplorable conditions, which question the approval, the stadium in Clinceni can be “proud” with the chairs in the lodge.
They arrived here with the demolition of the old Ghencea stadium. Bought by Gigi Becali, the chairs were removed from the Ghencea lodges in 2018 and arrived in Clinceni, based on Becali's friendship.
Moreover, the nightmare comes from neighbors: The pillars were brought from CFR Cluj, being used almost five years ago for a training ground.
Metaloglobus and Slobozia must look for their stadium
Most teams complained to the LPF for the conditions offered, and the Arena in Clinceni received “green” only until the coming of winter. This means that in Clinceni, matches will be played for only two months.
After this period, the two teams will have to find another stadium for December-March. “There is no heating system, there is absolutely nothing … you can not play football in such a land. Until December and goodbye.”the GSP information sounds.
