'Racing's family' asserts its right of entry and denounces another group's control over Academia's stadium
Compartir:
A dissident sector of the barra brava of Racing, which calls itself "La familia de Racing", submitted a letter to the club's management, led by Diego Milito, requesting authorization to re-enter the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
In the letter, this group defines itself as "a new concept" that brings together about 400 members, all of whom are active members who keep their dues up to date, including members from different categories, such as lifetime members. They also clarify that they have no "union or political affiliations of any kind."
El grupo asegura que no tienen vinculaciones políticas ni sindicales
The text highlights that the group "rejects any form of violence and fear that could affect the fans' experience", and reports that currently "a group of people has taken control of the stadium and decides who can enter and where they can go, which we consider unacceptable."
Finally, "La familia de Racing" concludes the letter by assuring that it will exhaust "all legal means to be able to enter the stadium, without harming anyone", seeking to recover a space that, according to them, was arbitrarily restricted by the sector that currently dominates the stands.
