"Racing Santander are preparing for one of the biggest nights in their recent history, with everything pointing towards an intense atmosphere at El Sardinero when FC Barcelona arrive for the Copa del Rey clash. The message from Santander is that the stadium must become a stronghold if Racing are to stand any chance of eliminating the reigning Copa del Rey holders."
"The club expects El Sardinero to be completely dominated by green and white, after selling almost all available tickets exclusively to season ticket holders. As per Mundo Deportivo, this strategy was adopted to create a hostile environment for Barcelona and give Racing every possible edge on the pitch. A sold-out crowd Out of the total stadium capacity, only 460 tickets were allocated to the Blaugrana, meaning the remaining 21,848 seats will, in principle, be occupied by supporters backing the home side."
Racing Santander expects a charged, season-ticket-dominated atmosphere at El Sardinero for the Copa del Rey tie against FC Barcelona. The club sold almost all available tickets to season ticket holders, leaving only 460 for visiting supporters and about 21,848 seats for the home crowd. More than 18,000 season ticket holders intend to attend and aim to make the match louder and more intense than a regular fixture. Barcelona arrive as recent Spanish Super Cup winners. The organised fan group La Gradona de los Malditos has warned against ticket resales and pledged to expel anyone showing rival insignia or cheering for the opponents.
