Not done for Colón: Patronato opens stand v Rafaela, shirts online | OneFootball

Patronato will adjust its financial and logistical strategy to once again allow visiting fans against Atlético Rafaela, aiming to reverse the financial losses suffered against Colón, while on the football side Marcelo Candia gets Franco Soldano back for the upcoming clash with Agropecuario.

With the aim of generating additional revenue, Patronato’s board decided to once again open a section for visiting supporters at Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Stadium. The decision comes after the negative balance left by the match against Colón. On that occasion, the club suffered financial losses due to three concurrent factors:

To avoid these high costs, a large number of Colón supporters chose to become Patronato members directly, gaining access to the popular stands for just $25,000.

Following a formal request from Atlético Rafaela, the “Patrón” board will reopen the Ayacucho Street Stand to host “La Crema” supporters next Sunday, June 14. Officials in Villa Sarmiento are handling the process cautiously, warning that “the police approval is still pending, but everything is on track.”

Unlike the previous experience, the new plan includes allowing tickets to be sold online and permitting entry with shirts and flags identifying the Rafaela club. Although ticket prices would remain in a range similar to that set for the Colón match, the operational flexibility is aimed at meeting revenue targets. Likewise, there is a preliminary reciprocal agreement between the two boards so that fans from Entre Ríos can support Patronato at Nuevo Monumental Stadium during the second half of the tournament.

Squad update: Soldano returns to the first team

From a strictly football standpoint, head coach Marcelo Candia received good news ahead of this Sunday’s 4:00 p.m. match against Agropecuario. Forward Franco Soldano has recovered from the muscle strain that kept him out of the last match against Tristán Suárez and is in optimal physical condition.

The former Unión de Santa Fe striker is expected to return to the starting lineup. The coaching staff’s only doubt is deciding who will partner him in attack: Renzo Reynaga has a chance to keep his place in the starting eleven, although he remains in direct competition for the spot with youngster Joaquín Barolín.
