Anyone else been? Just got back from a game. Now that is an atmosphere.
Yes. About 5 years ago now. Saw Boca play a local team and got in for about £2 (inflation ). It was like the 70's here with the police trying to hold people back going in the ground by wacking you with there truncheons. When we got inside the singing was incredible. Only slight panic was at half time when i saw what looked to be a delegation of people on the pitch and the word 'Malvinas' mentioned. It was only ex army from the falklands trying to get a whip round for some cash Kept our heads down at that point. Then with 20 mins left of the game we saw about 100 blokes behind us basically tell a steward to open a gate so that they could run round to the away fans. The steward duelly did this and we joined them. For the next 30 mins rocks were being thrown in the away section and fights on the fences. It was crazy. And the weird thing was the police didnt want to get involved. All they did was ask them to calm down before running away again ! Then a police helicopter hovers over the centre circle and the game is called off. It ws one of the most amazing things ive ever seen at a football ground. Argentinian football was called off for 2 weeks after.
Id love to go again.
As good as that day at Cádiz?
This thread is pointless without pics
Seen Boca Juniors before at Old Trafford when it was the Vodafone Cup , very exciting team to watch.
When was that then?
I f***ing love Boca, mainly because of Riquelme, the KING of flair.
