Alarm at Patronato over possible Colón fans as members, why? | OneFootball

The buildup to the interzonal match between Patronato and Colón has already started off the pitch. In recent hours, the leadership of the Entre Ríos club raised concerns over the possibility that Sabalero fans might try to get in as members to pay less.

For this match, which will be played on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Stadium, with coverage by Radio GOL 96.7, 1,500 tickets for neutral fans have been put on sale. The condition is clear: those who enter through that option will not be allowed to wear colors identifying the visiting team.

However, the main concern lies in another alternative. A general admission ticket costs 70,000 pesos, while the club membership fee is 25,000 pesos. It is the end of the month and money is tight. There is also the option of entering by buying a non-member ticket, which costs 30,000 pesos, but it is risky, since during security checks, if it is noticed that the address is not in Entre Ríos, entry will be denied. This difference has opened the door to a move that in Paraná is already being closely analyzed: that Colón supporters may choose to sign up as members solely for this match and take seats in the home stands.

The situation is causing concern at Patronato, which is seeking to maintain organizational control and avoid possible conflict in the stands in a matchup that always carries extra edge because of the proximity between the two cities. But above all, they want to make the most of the Sabalero turnout to gain a bigger financial return. Meanwhile, the security operation and logistics are still being evaluated, in a buildup that is already adding tension before the opening whistle.
