Bombonera: the closure of the third tray is maintained and will be without an audience against Platense

There was expectation but pessimism in the world Mouth. Just as two weeks ago it was a Saturday in which the Judge of the City of Buenos Aires established the closure of the third southern tray of the Bombonera, this Saturday the 18th, hours after a new home game, some news was expected in this regard. And the news was bad.

A brief signed by Judge Adolfo Ariza Clerici, of court no. 1 criminal, violation and misdemeanors CABA, announced that the preventive closure measure is maintained.

“I decide to maintain the preventive closure measure of the Superior South Tribune, of the Boca Juniors Athletic Club, located at 805 Brandsen Street, in CABA,” says the document which was circulated on social networks.

In the letter, the Judge speaks of the “risk of collapse” in the sector indicated and requests that technical reports from various bodies be presented to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has set its sights on the Xeneize stadium in recent weeks.

This week, in his role as Boca vice-president, Juan Román Riquelme spoke about it and clarified that the club had presented everything that had been asked of him and that “it had everything in order”.

And in his defense he spoke of the prosecutor Celsa Rodríguez, the official who is carrying out the investigations in the blue and gold temple.

Riquelme questioned prosecutor Ramírez’s decision, which closed off the upper south end of the Bombonera, and said “we should ask you what painting it is.”

“You should ask the lady which photo it is from,” the Boca idol said at a press conference at Ezeiza’s property.

“The field is beautiful, the Bombonera is beautiful, our people make the stadium more and more beautiful, it’s a party every time we play at home. We should ask the lady (for the agent Ramírez) which team she is from, because It’s the same who made my son testify,” Riquelme recalled about the case of his son Agustín on the occasion of his presence at the stadium, when the games were played without an audience due to the pandemic.

“Everything is fine now, we have already presented everything they asked us to do. We hope that (the prosecutor) works until Saturday and opens the camp for us, because the other day he worked until Saturday when we were closed, right ?” said the Boquense leader.

“The only one who is affected is the fan. For the Boca fan it is important to go on the pitch, they forget all the problems of the week, they will have a party, I ask the agent to let the fans enjoy a show because they are the owners of our home,” Riquelme said.

The closure took place on Saturday 4 February, at noon, by the Specialized Prosecutor for Major Events and this Saturday 18 it was confirmed that it must be maintained.

The decision of the unit in charge of the prosecutor Celsa Ramírez was based on the reports presented by engineers and architects, after the incidents recorded on Sunday 29 January, in the match that Boca won 1-0 against Atlético Tucumán, and in which observed a surplus of audiences in various sectors of the stadium.

Annoyed by this issue, Riquelme said he doesn’t know why they closed a platform: “We are afraid everything is fine. I don’t know if there is a political background, haha… It will be a fun year, a lot of fun… We are here for three years “At the club we have been lucky enough to win five titles, we hope we can win more and that the fans can celebrate so that the Bombonera continues to be a party. Whatever the team, this lady doesn’t let us enjoy our field.”
