Malago Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Five sent off, three from Boca, two from River. An absolute war apparently. Even Tevez, whose playing again for Boca, said it was a disgrace,. To cap it all, it was a summer break "friendly" As an aside River won 1-0.

One of those places where you don't get off the open topped bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately because of the danger you describe there reddoc that's probably all it will remain. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be ok at River Plate, seems fine around there, but Boca had little kids with knives running after the bus at midday. So I decided not to visit the club shop. Guessing all of those that went to Leeds on the train yesterday are asking what's new about that, but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a slightly hairy moment buying tickets but would definitely go again if I ever found myself in Argentina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would chance River Plate, but no way would I have the balls for Boca. Having said that love the stadium, cost a fortune to repaint it if they changed the kit.

northsomersetred Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've been to River Plate back in the early 90's no problems there, went to a derby match in Asuncion in Paraguay made anything you've ever seen here look like a kids tea party.

We bought tickets from a tout in La Boca, the area in which the stadium is situated. He made us pick them up from someones house where we met a couple of other tourists there. Ended up putting our driving licenses down as a deposit as it turned out they were season tickets and had to be returned after the game. The other tourists ended up having their tickets confiscated on the gate but we made it through. I'm sure they had a pretty awkward conversation when they returned! I managed to watch a Flamengo game at the Maracana the same year, also an awesome experience and definitely a lot less intimidating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
