I have removed the list of recent transfers, as Wikipedia is not a news service. Oldelpaso 11:44, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Home/Away colors

Have too be wrong.. they have a green/yellow color for either their home or away shirts. --chandler 20:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen them playing their away games in head to toe lime green or pear green...definitely a yellowish green.

[edit] Goalkeeper link

The unregistered gk, Steven McDonald, links to a former NYPD policeman of the same name. As he was injured in the line of duty and is now quadriplegic, I will delete the link. tagilbert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.103.253 (talk) 16:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History

Hey! Maybe it's just me, but the current New Foundings In Segunda section of the article doesn't seem quite right. It's implying that upon gaining promotion to Segunda in 1976 the old Club Getafe Deportivo evolved into Peña Madridista Getafe which played four seasons in Segunda and then furthermore changed it's name to Club Deportivo Peña Getafe under which it played another two seasons in Segunda before relegation and subsequent disappearance.

But, the way I understood it, after reading the history at the official website (see headings En Tercera en Las Margaritas and El actual Getafe Club de Fútbol), is that the old Club Getafe Deportivo played in Segunda for six seasons starting from 1976, before relegation and disappearance. In the meanwhile, a separate entity called Peña Madridista Getafe (as one can imagine from the name, it was originally a Real Madrid supporters' association, i.e. a peña) was created in 1976 and later changed it's name to Club Deportivo Peña Getafe in 1980. It is mentioned that between 1976 and 1982 this new club played a total of six seasons in "different categories" before merging with another club called Club Getafe Promesas in 1982. Then, when the old Club Getafe Deportivo finally disappeared in 1983, the current Getafe Club de Fútbol was created on the foundations of that merger. This is the way I see it.

For further proof, here are two RSSSF documents that mention C. Getafe Dep. existing until 1983:

And here's one that mentions CD Getafe (listed with this name, but it must be the same one) being relegated from Segunda straight to Tercera because of debts in 1982:

There's also a lot of records of the club (listed as either CD Getafe or Getafe CD) taking part in the Spanish Cup between 1976 and 1983:

Could someone more knowledgeable either deny or verify this? Or am I making any sense at all? –Kooma (di algo) 21:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


I understand what you are saying and you could be right. I'll have a further look into it. Hugh777 (talk)

Done some more research and you are correct, Club Getafe Deportivo existed in Segunda for 6 seasons from 76-82, before folding. Peña Madridista Getafe, and later Club Deportivo Peña Getafe, wasa a seperate entity. Content changed accordingly. Hugh777 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 10:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
