CSM Bucharest – Rapid, a scandal with free seats and vuvuzelas

“Congratulations to CSM on the win, shame on the organizers for all the mess today!

You announced SOLD OUT in less than 24 hours, but there were hundreds of empty seats in the hall, the pictures of the “CSM lawn” during the game, where more than half the seats are empty, are instructive.

You have shown a complete lack of respect for club officials, including on match day, by constantly arguing with them about their seats. Most people were disgusted by this circus with tickets, be glad that everyone sat on the lawn, starting with President Bohdan Vasiliu!

You bought thousands of vuvuzelas placed on each chair, although most of them were obviously not going to be used to cover our wonderful gallery. A ruckus rarely seen, for 60 minutes almost non-stop the CSM crowd blew their vuvuzelas to drown out the chants of the opposition gallery.

You were constantly yelling at the speakers to turn up the music as loud as possible, including at the end of the match when only the Rapid gallery was left in the hall. It’s amazing how much evil you could muster!

You probably also won the championship title. That’s probably the only thing that matters to you, for the rest we have vuvuzelas!

We thank all rapid players present at the match, we thank Peluza Nord – Rapid Bucharest for their support, we apologize on behalf of CSM for everything that happened in the stands today. Moving forward, make sure the love for the traditional club is independent of results and vuvuzelas! Come on, FAST!” – club Rapid wrote on Facebook.
