Patronato will adjust its economic and logistical strategy to once again allow visiting fans against Atlético Rafaela, seeking to reverse the financial losses suffered against Colón, while on the football side Marcelo Candia gets Franco Soldano back for the upcoming clash against Agropecuario.
With the aim of generating additional income, Patronato’s leadership decided to reopen a section for visiting supporters at the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Stadium. The decision comes after the negative financial balance left by the match against Colón. On that occasion, the club suffered economic losses due to three concurrent factors:
To avoid these high costs, a large number of Sabalero supporters chose to become Patronato members directly, gaining access to the standing terraces for just $25,000.
Following a formal request from Atlético Rafaela, the “Patrón” board will reopen the Ayacucho Street Stand to host “La Crema” fans next Sunday, June 14. Officials in Villa Sarmiento are handling the process cautiously, warning that “the decision with the Police is still pending, but everything is on track.”
Unlike the previous experience, the new plan includes authorizing online ticket sales and allowing entry with jerseys 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 the Nuevo Monumental Stadium during the second half of the tournament.
On the strictly football side, 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 game against Tristán Suárez and is now 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.
