Hi,

I'll be on Fuerteventura on January 26th and I'd like to go and see CD Cottillo play if possible.

I see that they're at home to CD Vera that day but I don't fly in until 11am local time. What time is the kick off likely to be?

Also, where exactly do they play?

If anyone here is likely to be there, let me know as it'd be good to have a local expert on hand!

Thanks,
Simon

Hello Simon

The KO is likely to be 11am or midday, so I think you'll have to give it a miss.

The ground is on the right as you drive in to El Cotillo, just past the Inpescasa supermarket.

Captain Sensible · December 06, 2013, 14:57:13 PM

As today is a public holiday for Constitution Day, the local derby was played:

Lanzarote 3 CD Cotillo 1

Lanzarote are 10th and cotillo are 12th.

Thanks. That's a shame.
When you know the kickoff time for definite, could you let me know so I can make a decision at the last minute please? I'd really like to go so if I can fit it in, I will.

Thanks,
Simon

I went to watch the CD Cotillo v Union Yaiza game yesterday: a scruffy affair not helped by a strong wind.
The game was decided by a suitably scruffy goal just before half time: a mis-hit corner bounced 'Dambuster' style along the goal line where everyone left it to each other and the ball bobbled into the net.
Apart from this, the only other first half action was each side hitting the crossbar: Cotillo with an against the wind floater which the Yaiza flapped at and a wind assisted 35 yarder from the Yaiza full back which, if it hadn't hit the crossbar would have ended up in the harbour!
Cotillo had the wind in the second half but appeared not to know what to do. Every ball was a long diagonal out to the hairy bearded No 11 (who looked like he'd just come off The Exodus set) who struggled to control the ball and was constantly dispossesed as a consequence. 6 or 7 good set pieces were wasted by overhitting the ball and the Yaiza keeper only had one save to make.
Yaiza deserved the win, they were fitter sharper and quicker to the tackle than Cotillo and alway had options.
Cotillo were not the young face paced side I saw pre-promotion last April. They appear to have tried to go for more experience for the step-up to Div 3 but some of the players didn't seem bothered.
I won't be surpried if Cotillo go back down. Good crowd though and still only 3 Euro to get in.

bodger · January 09, 2014, 10:51:17 AM

Does anyone know the kick off time for the match against Vera on 26th January yet?
If it's 12pm local time, I'm hoping to be able to drive there from the airport as my flight gets in at 10.45am.

When I watched the Cotillo v Yaiza game at 12.00 on Sunday 15th December there were posters advertising the game next to the main entrance to the ground and information on the big 'chalk board' on the wall on the sea side of the ground. This information was there on Saturday 14th but wasn't there on Thursday 12th.

These posters are the way football matches get advertised in Fuerteventura and are pretty much the most reliable method of confirming the date and kick off time.
What you really need is someone from the Forum who is in El Cotillo to visit the ground and post the information on here for you.

If kick off is at 12.00 and you land 10.45, you'll do very well to collect your baggage, collect your car and then drive there before kick off. Good luck.

I don't know where you're staying, but when you're out in the car you might notice that pretty much every village has a football ground with floodlights. These floodlights are normally on on a Friday night so I would presume from that that a game is being played.
I don't know what League or standard these games might be (perhaps the Captain could enlighten) but I know when I've stayed in Corralejo if the lights are on there is either training or a Youth game going on. (sadly the senior team are no more)

Enjoy wherever you might end up.

Captain Sensible · January 09, 2014, 13:05:14 PM

Sorry, I don't know a confirmed KO time.

bodger · January 09, 2014, 14:32:05 PM

Thanks all.

I won't have to collect baggage (hand luggage only) and my rental car is apparently "guaranteed in 15 minutes" which I'll believe when I see it.
Google maps reckons 40 minutes drive to the ground so I'm gonna give it a good go and see what happens.

Hopefully someone will be able to confirm the KO for me as we get nearer to the time so I don't waste my time getting up there as I'm actually staying right down in Costa Calma.

Thanks again for your help.

There's a football ground in Costa Calma where UD Pájara Playas de Jandía used to play the Tercera (Third) Division.
Sadly the Senior Team went bust in I think 2011 and I don't know if anything remains of the Club or its set-up.
Maybe worth making a few enquiries when you're there for a 'Friday Night Footie Fix' as mentioned above.
There are also football grounds in nearby Morro Jable, La Lajita and Tarajalejo.

It's the game against Vera that I'm going to try and get to. Next weekend, on the Sunday.
Don't spose anyone knows what the actual kickoff time is likely to be, do they?

Captain Sensible · January 20, 2014, 15:11:03 PM

Sorry Bodger!

No indication of a KO time on the fixture website yet - http://www.resultados-futbol.com/tercera/grupo12/jornada23

bodger · January 20, 2014, 15:37:23 PM

Thanks.

I tweeted a few likely people and one said:-

No lo sé pero si juegan el Domingo casi seguro que es a las 12:00.

I don't speak much Spanish but Google Translate seems to think that that says something like "Assuming it's on the Sunday, it'll probably be a 12pm kick off".

So I think I'm gonna take the risk and go for it.

bodger · January 22, 2014, 22:48:53 PM

So after all that, two separate people have tweeted me to say that the game kicks off at 11.30am.

Looks like I'm gonna have to give the game a miss - no way I can land at 10.55am and make that.

Shame - thanks for all your help, everyone.

Captain Sensible · January 23, 2014, 12:37:50 PM

It says it's a 12.30 KO on this website - http://www.futbolme.com/coj/index_torneo.asp

Don't despair yet!
I presume your 'TwitFace' contacts are in Cotillo at the moment and that they HAVE seen the posters advertising the game next to the main entrance to the ground and/or the information on the big 'chalk board' on the wall on the sea side of the ground.
If not, then may I respectfully suggest you ask them if they would have another look on probably Friday or Saturday in order to get you the definite kick off time.
You could always start a separate thread on here asking if anyone who is in El Cotillo can check the posters/chalk board for you.

Mikster · January 23, 2014, 15:15:26 PM

Hi Cap'n.
Looks like I'm never gonna get another game in in Fuerteventura, coming back to Corralejo for a week on Sat 22nd Feb and the only game is CD El Cotillo. According to http://uk.soccerway.com/teams/spain/el-cotillo/25092/matches/ the game is on the Saturday, but your list states Sunday.

If it is the Sunday, (23rd) do you know of anyone in the Corralejo area who I could car/petrol share with? Or could we get a few of us in a taxi so we can have beers?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

You can easily travel to El Cotillo FROM on the local bus
