1. Getting there: Right kerfuffle getting in. No cash sales and needed web accesss, a printed ticket and ID to match. Given only 1 of us had ID, no one had a printer and none of us had web access, it wasnt looking good. But bloke on gate called his mate who found a bloke with web access, a mobile printer and £25 later we had freshly printed.tickets with our names on. The 5 security checks seemed ott, but have no experience.of the locals. myself. Either way, we got in and bagged some top seats with shade in a 90% open stadium. 2. Atrmosphere: Whilst it doesnt compare to Argie footie, it is still a long way better than English footie. Loads of singing, bouncing amd best, the waving of scarves in circles. 3. Footie: Alianza play River Plate on Wed and on that performance id lump on RP. The opposition no 7 was good. 4. Getting out Been to Maine Road (Moss side) and the Victoria ground (Stoke) so know a dodgy ground but today's walk was genuinely through a ghetto. Not the place to get lost and look foreign :-) [Post edited 4 Mar 2019 1:23]
