The Polished Bakerythe modest club based in the municipality of Vega de San Mateo that defends the name of a family business founded in 1923 and that at the end of 2021 monopolized radio and television minutes throughout Spain for its confrontation in the Copa del Rey against a giant like Real Sociedad, has not been able to achieve the objective of remaining in the RFEF Second Division. A season that is as exciting in the Cup as it is disappointing in the League for the whole of this small mountain town on the island of Gran Canaria, but also for the rest of the teams from this autonomous community that play in the category, in which all of them They have completed the descent.

A frustrating match for Canarian football, which in the same course loses the Messenger, Las Palmas Atlético, UD San ​​Fernando and Tamaraceite in the fourth echelon of national football.

«The Canarian teams play in inferiority against the peninsular ones. The commuting is a handicap important and another is the budget. The clubs have very limited budgets, there are hardly any professional players and many share their work facet with football, which forces them to train in the afternoon, “Mario de la Santa, one of the journalists who best knows the ins and outs of Canarian football, trying to find an explanation for this cascade of declines.

After the restructuring undertaken by the Spanish Federation At the end of last season, Panadería Pulido, Mensajero, Las Palmas Atlético, UD San ​​Fernando and Tamaraceite are the five Canarian teams that compete in the first league of the new RFEF Second Division, a category in which they compete with representatives from Andalusia, Extremadura, as well as the Ceuta Sports Association. Canary groups that share common problems. «The budgets are supported by public institutions, since there are hardly any private sponsors. They are largely expected declines, except for Las Palmas Atlético that started with the objective of promotion, the rest were teams that it was known by staff that they were going to suffer to achieve permanence, “adds Mario de la Santa.

In the absence of a day, the island groups occupy the five relegation places, all of which correspond to this without any possibility of achieving permanence. A stick for the Canarian school, one of the most recognized and representative of Spanish football.

the barcelonista Pedri It is the last great gift to Spanish football from the so-called Canarian school, an autonomous community in which a style has historically been practiced that fans who love technical exquisiteness and good handling of the ball fall in love with. A deeply rooted model that is also applied in the lower categories, although this season it has ‘failed’ in the RFEF Second Division. The five representatives of the Islands in this category have not been able to avoid falling to drop well and they no longer have any chance of getting out of it. All of them will play in the Third RFEF next season, with Atlético Paso being, at least for now, the only representative from the Canary Islands that has managed to rise to cover the gap they leave on this rung.

Relegation is especially hard for the UD Las Palmas subsidiary, whose fall drags its C team, now in the Third RFEF, to have to play next season in Regional. also for the CD Messenger because the whole of La Palma this year is celebrating its centenary.
