Pic Special: The Enganche travels with fans to
Rosario
Ever wondered what was like to be an away fan in
Argentina? The Enganche made
the +300-km trip from Avellaneda to Rosario with the traveling Racing
Club fans on Saturday.
Sebastián
García got on board on one of the buses that departed from
Racing Club stadium and here are some of his pictures and stories from
this unique experience that showed the best and the worst things
football has to offer in Argentina.
Join us in this fantastic journey!

Early morning: Racing
fans gather at their stadium. Six buses are offered by the Departamento del Hincha (Supporters
Department). Roughly 360 people make the trip with them and several
'unofficial' buses join them on the road.

Lip-stick check?: Police
ask fans to get off the buses for a routine control. They look for
guns, drugs or alcohol. Of course fans know better! All the booze was
discarded at a previous stop and what's inside, the police can't take
away.

Kick-off in Rosario: Unfortunately,
pictures from the police abuse Racing fans suffered upon arrival in
Rosario are not available. The
Enganche had to put the camera away during that moment, but fans
were punched by police, even when they were doing nothing wrong.
The Gigante terraces:
Racing fans endured defeat on top of the 600 km round trip. The lower
tier of one of the Gigante de Arroyito's end was dressed in white and
blue.
The Warriors: Rosario Central
scores and the place goes mental. Soon after, their barrabrava, Los Guerreros (The Warriors) show
their colours and give us a rather nice picture from behind the fence
where we were watching.

'Don't miss the goal': Sebastián
García, The Enganche
correspondent, takes a moment to capture an image from his trip to
Rosario.
