It could be for the first time in their history if they get relegated.

I also love South America, planning a return trip for early next year and hope to take in a game like I did on my last visit, where I saw the home game between River Plate and Huracan. I have to say that the atmosphere in the stadium was amongst the best I have ever experienced, the singing was absolutely amazing, would be a real pity if they were relegated.

Sounds the sort of place where Palace would be very much at home.

I still believe that there will be some dodgy decisions and River will win by 2 goals to stay up. They only have to draw on aggregate, Belgrano as the team from League B have to win to gain promotion!
Asian Handicap for River (-1) on Bet365 gives 1.80 so I've put a fair bit on!!

Personally i hope River stay up
Had a fantastic stadium tour 2005 for the equivalent of about £2 and they couldn't do enough for you. directors box, pitch, trophy room, media centre etc etc with no hassle or rush. a million times better than the boca version tbh
boca seem to hold the affections of football snobs over river the same way st pauli do over hamburg
did see a boca match and agree with the previous posters that the atmosphere at argie games different gravy

i predict a riot
That's what ssn is reporting. Fire in the ground, had to bring an extended tunnel onto the pitch to get the players off (surround by stewards). Water canons being used, things being broken and thrown around and hitting grandfathers and their grandkids, etc.

Battipiedi and Baz may get offered deals by River Plate at the rate they're going.
I'm startled they did go down though, really thought they would win comfortably at home tonight.
It's the Argentine equivalent of Manchester United getting relegated.
Having looked up about them on Wiki just now, I'm stunned at how many outstanding players they've had playing for them over the past few years (including Gonzalo Higuain and the currently much-sought-after duo of Alexis Sanchez and Radamel Falcao) and how they've got themselves into the mess they're now in.

They are £20 million in debt too so you wonder if they will be able to build a squad to challenge for promotion. The irony really is that the system set up to save them 20 years ago ultimately caught them in a season when they should have qualified for the Copa Sudamerica! Think there's going to be a lot of trouble in and around the Monumental for some hours yet.
Sounds pretty wild out there -
Although seeing the reports of the riots in Buenos Aires following the relegation of River Plate from the Argentine Clasaura for the first time in their history is chilling enough, seeing it unfurl live is horrifying. Tanks with water cannons are parading the streets, members of the public are running about in panic and there's rather too much fire around for anyone's liking.
But the worst part of watching is seeing the ambulances and stretchers carrying injured police officers from the front lines. According to reports, there are at least five police officers suffering serious injuries and many more who are less badly hurt. The most appalling incident so far has been the alleged torching of a police car by rioters while said vehicle was still occupied:

Belgrano fans are still trapped in the Estadio Monumental, and it's still not clear if there'll be any safe way of extracting them within any reasonable timescale. Meanwhile, journalists are being assualted, TV vans are being destroyed, and something barely short of a pitched battle is being fought on the streets. This can't clear up fast enough.

Bet they don't become pariahs of world football, they aren't an English club.
