Inspection at the Palailio, relations between the Municipality and Trapani Basketball remain cold

When the bureaucracy enters the sport, the situation becomes complicated. Basketball Trapani understood this and, in spite of itself, finds itself having to play in a field – the PalaIlio – where to be sure you take the field you must first check the weather.

The problems are known: if it rains, half the pitch is not usable and this cannot be accepted after the administration of Trapani, owner of the property, has allocated 550 thousand euros for the waterproofing of the roof. Now, according to what emerges from the inspection carried out yesterday, the problems would be attributable (according to what was declared by the Municipality of Trapani) from more contributing causes: “the lack of maintenance of the fixtures – writes the mayor in a note -, of their sealing and of the gaskets that they refer to the mere ordinary maintenance carried out by the sports club; the strong wind / rain effect that affects a couple of ventilation grates that require extraordinary intervention solutions in the municipality. In fact, although an opening and closing system was originally envisaged for the windows located at the apex of the roof that is no longer functional, these have been sealed over the years causing condensation problems that basketball fans will certainly remember and it is precisely to overcome this inconvenience. some of these have been modified favoring infiltration ».

The main basketball team in the province, which currently plays in the Serie A2 championship, presented its point of view in the night, although it did not share the method of communication, which took place through a press release.

Pallacanestro Trapani «is awaiting official communications that report the details of what is requested and, with its legal and technical consultants, will carefully evaluate the content.
If (“if …”) the change of the gaskets glasses will prove to be a due cost, Pallacanestro Trapani will take care of it hoping that the problem of rain is actually caused only by the gaskets glasses (leave us the benefit of the doubt given our meticulous knowledge of the structure) “.

In short, Pallacanestro Trapani does not shy away from its duties, although it is in a house that, objectively, is not his. Everything revolves around the concept of extraordinary intervention and ordinary intervention.

However, the problem remains, despite the proclamations and interventions made. The company from Basciano received the structure already in these conditions – investing numerous resources both from the structural point of view and from the human point of view – and the doubt is legitimate: how do you consider windows thirty meters high and without access? an ordinary intervention?

Despite the doubt, the company of the president Pietro Basciano responds present. But now we need the cards. Who prepared the intervention, did I have the goal of not raining inside the building anymore? If so, surely something did not go the right way considering that he could realize that without the intervention on the windows, everything would have been useless as it turned out.

Making plans for more than half a million and forgetting a few hundred euros of gaskets (regardless of who then has to pay them, municipality or company) means being approximate. And now we must run for cover. Finally, Pallacanestro Trapani, with the right ways and at the right time, will convene a press conference, not limitedly dedicated to the Palailio affair. The hope, for all the fans, is that Basciano has not been bored with this whole situation.
