Although CD El Cotillo finished the season on a losing run to finish in mid table on 50 points in their first term in the Tercera Division is an excellent performance. I watched a number of their matches while on the island during the winter and thought that they played good attractive football and look forward to watching them again next season.
Looking at the final league table I noticed that UD Vecindario have had all their 50 points deducted and obviously relegated from the division as a result. Does Captain Sensible or anyone else on the forum know what financial misdemeanours Vecindario have committed and led to such a severe punishment?

[Captain Sensible]

Vecindario from Gran Canaria failed to turn up for their away game at El Cotillo and another game, because of financial problems.

It was a very creditable position for CD Cotillo to finish 10th - one place above Lanzarote

Thanks for that Captain.
I've watched Vecindario a few times in the past when I was in Gran Canaria. One of those matches was against Rayo Valacano who I believe at the time had  themselves been relegated directly from the Primera to Segunda B for financial irregularities, just a season after having played in the old Uefa Cup.
Unfortunately financial problems appear to be endemic at all levels of Spanish football.

Let's hope that Cotillo can continue next season, and don't go the way of CD Corralejo, Playas de Jandia and UD Fuerteventura, who have all had to pull out of the 3rd Division in the past few years due to financial problems.
