What happened: The ADRV Platform and the Federation of Supporters' Clubs jointly demanded that president Raúl Martín Presa and his board sign binding commitments before Saturday's match against Elche at the Estadio de Vallecas. Supporters are calling for a public apology for fan treatment since July 28, proportional season-ticket reimbursements paid before year-end for matches relocated to Butarque, and a freeze on next season's renewal rates so the payouts are not offset by price hikes.

Why it matters: Friction between the board and the fanbase has intensified despite Rayo Vallecano reaching the UEFA Conference League final in May, with several peaceful demonstrators now facing fines of thousands of euros. Supporters view an unconditional pre-match pact as the baseline for a permanent negotiating forum across all sections of the club.

What to watch: Martín Presa's board faces a Saturday deadline ahead of kickoff against Elche at the Estadio de Vallecas to publicly sign the commitments and establish the proposed negotiating roadmap.
