Jon Uriarte did not travel to Vigo for Celta v Athletic at 21:30, his second straight away absence after missing Thursday’s 2-0 defeat at Spotify Camp Nou. He did attend the women’s league opener at Lezama at midday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
According to El Correo, the no-show comes amid tension after free tickets at San Mam\u00e9s were scrapped for players and others. The president normally travels to most away games, and the squad want a meeting with Uriarte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Athletic’s party reached the Hotel Eurostars Mar de Vigo around 12:00 with several directors, but without the president. It is unclear whether players will continue the media blackout at Bala\u00eddos, a plan launched in Barcelona only hours before kick-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In Barcelona, no player spoke to rights-holding broadcasters after the match or attended the mixed zone. The first is a contractual duty and the second long-standing practice. It was communicated that the stance related to an internal club issue and costs collaboration ranking points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Those points feed directly into television income, and Athletic usually rank highly, so money will be lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The dispute flared days after courtesy tickets were withdrawn. Players had six per game, four fixed and two tied to purchases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The cuts also hit former players, employees, retirees and former presidents. Directors have given up theirs, and the club now provides only the 30 minimum required by LaLiga<\/a>. The move is justified by a waiting list of more than 11,000 members at San Mam\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
