Sexton Hardcastle Posted November 8, 2018 First leg of the final between Boca and River Saturday evening 8pm. Think only available online unless someone has picked it up but should be a decent occasion. Away fans banned and the return leg next Saturday same time. La Bombonera looks a fantastic venue so should be an incredible atmosphere given what is on the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey1874 Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) First ever all Argentine final which is pretty amazing. No visiting fans being allowed is partly due to the number of seats that would have to have been lost to segregation.

BigAlim Posted November 8, 2018 Would hate to be playing for the away team in this fixture, despite the fact that the home support are always so intense the players don't exactly keep their heads down though! Should be cracking entertainment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trotter Posted November 8, 2018 I've been in BA the last two weeks. The city is absolutely rocking with excitement for this, gutted I won't be able to try and get a ticket. I always seem to miss them when in here, a Boca/River game is on my bucket list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM1874 Posted November 9, 2018 Much as I like freesports for their less mainstream coverage, the SD is a bit hard to watch at times. For that reason alone will be watching on BT Sport instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamboy1982 Posted November 9, 2018 I went to a river plate v independiente game which is a lesser Buenos airies derby. Atmosphere was amazing but the quality of football was poor. I did the tour of la bombenera, the stadium was awesome!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peebo Posted November 10, 2018 Been to a Boca derby vs Independiente. Was ****ing amazing, Maradona hanging out the box whipping up the crowd etc.. The Super Classico would be off the scale, particularly in this context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Not sure if I'm a Terry or a Bob but I feel like a "Likely Lad". No chance of watching it live because of wife/daughter/Strictly and other such crap so recorded it, avoided going on line etc., with the intention of watching it, old school, right now. Some sources suggest a 7pm UK ko tomorrow but TV appears to be 6 o'clock. Anyone know, beyond dispute, the ko time?
