Herman Hessian Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 i've been fortunate enough to see some deeply amusing games in my time but there are still some encounters that i think may be more amusing than anything i've yet encountered: how's about listing the "ones you'd like to watch" - i can imagine that roma v lazio can be a bit lively, but i think that feyenoord v ajax would be the one to go to for some proper full-on enmity and real fear and loathing...

DA Baracus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Boca Juniors vs River Plate. The atmosphere would be amazing and La Bombonera looks like an insane stadium for regular games but for this; f**k! Google photos of what it's like behind the goals up the back. At the sides there's a tiny wee fence to stop you from plummeting to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Boca river the one that springs to mind for me also. Lucky enough to have attended a barca madrid, paid a fortune for ticket (offset by a fortune won on pique fgs that game) but was in with “ultras” behind goals and flags waving the whole time did my head in, found myself grabbing them to stop them blocking the view. Didnt go down particularly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt go down particularly well no I wouldn't have thought so off to Poland next week,read an article about slask Wroclaw ultras and their "rules" for attending in their end-pretty strict stuff.ill just sit with the normal folks I think,been in with ultras in Poland before and it was nerve wracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to River v Boca and it wasn't quite as crazy for a couple of reasons. 1 there was no away fans and 2 the stadium is more open than La Bonbonera. I think away fans are slowly being allowed back which will make it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMc99 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 any of the argie derbies look special, boca river, independiente racing, rosario and newells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 A proper Istanbul derby. Not the rubbish you get today with no away fans at games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca v Racing was cheap but River v Boca cost me about £200. I wasn't bothered as I was travelling all that way then not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get there before the gate man shuts the turnstile, or wait till they open the big gate in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 How easy was getting a ticket?I sorted it all through my hotel when i went cost about 50 usd all in for me.That was for game at the chocolate box.Behind the goals is really scary though they dont take kindly to outsiders as they all stand in the same spot at every home game.I ended up being shuffled to the side and back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he had little to no enjoyment as he felt on edge for most of the game. Lazio V Roma is very good, however because one side always seems to be protesting about something at the moment, the atmosphere seems to suffer a bit. Lazio have some incredible displays though. Was lucky enough to go into hills after a game last year and saw the surfer flags in their initial stage for derby. It was a full four months away. Best one I have ever done is still and I doubt will ever be beaten, West Ham V Millwall 2009 Carling Cup. Have never felt an atmosphere like that before.

senorsoupe Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Partizan Belgrade vs. Red Star looks properly intense. Also would love to see Borussia Dortmund vs. Schalke, especially if I could get myself a spot on the ''Yellow Wall'' at the Westfalenstadion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my girlfriend too. We were told not to go into section 12 though as it can be dangerous there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Boca v River is the popular choice, but for an Argie game I quite fancy the Avellaneda derby (Racing v Independiente). El Cilindro looks absolutely class; somehow managing to be a big bowl stadium that's right on top of the pitch. Red Star v Partizan is the one I'd like to see in Europe, I think. Galatasaray v Fenerbahce another obvious one if they started letting away fans go again. A left-field shout could be PAOK v Aris at Toumba this year. Aris are just back in the top flight after 5 years away, and the Thessaloniki teams tend to have a bit more of a rabid support than the big Athens clubs. That one should be pretty special.

Currahee! Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Just remembered there was 4 searches before we got into la Bombonera too. Police and army and that was with no away fans. Quite strict there. There was only 1 for River v Boca and it was quite timid compared to the brutal searches at Boca. All worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 With a bit of luck I can go to Schalke '04 v Borussia Dortmund on 8th December. That would be a great experience I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
