Sandro Rosell tanked all blaugranas’ support and expressed being “really satisfied to be surrounded by people like you today and for such a cause”. Rosell was also glad because he was fulfilling another electoral promise, that of visiting Murcia and its penyes as president.

Visit at Totana Town Hall

They were received by the town mayor José Martínez and the delegate of the Supporters’ Clubs Advisory Council and president of the PB Totana Juan Carrión. On this reception, the president took pictures with all the supporters’ clubs that had travelled to Totana, with members of D’Genes and the board of PB Totana.

Short visit to PB Totana headquarters

Rosell did not want to leave Murcia without paying a short visit to the home of PB Totana and leave his signature on the book of honour. This supporters’ club is not only reputed to be intensively culé, but also to help D’Genes and cooperate to fight against rare diseases.
