Elche has made a significant change by banning the sale and consumption of sunflower seeds at Estadio Martinez Valero due to hygiene and maintenance concerns. The club faced rising costs and issues like clogged drains and deterioration of stadium features from the discarded shells. While aiming to maintain the cleanliness of the stands and prevent potential pest infestations, Elche clarified that the motivation behind the ban is to preserve the venue rather than penalize fans. This move mirrors similar actions taken by Valencia at their stadium a year prior.
This decision is not intended to penalise any fan, but rather to preserve a common space in the best possible condition.
The shells clog drains and pipes, they deteriorate the seats and affect the paint and finishes of multiple surfaces.
