Really great time at the Santa Fe game. The guide met us and the other guest (only one guest and a fellow Brit and West Ham supporter!) at a hostel in the city centre, where we had a drink and a brief chat before heading out to the game. A dedicated van and driver were provided, leaving us a safe space to put our personal belongings that you can't take into the game (belts etc), and then we went for another drink and chat at a local supporters bar, stopped at a store to buy some shirts and souvenirs, then headed into the game.
The guide had all the tickets sorted and it was seamless and easy getting in. The seats were unreserved so we could sit right at the front row, right beside the pitch. The crowd were super passionate, singing and stood up the whole time. A complete change from the relatively subdued affair that is English football most of the time.
Also worth noting that, completely unsure of what to expect, the whole experience felt safe and relaxed, and was very much a rowdy but family friendly affair, with plenty of kids around with their families. Would recommend it to all and everyone interested in seeing a game whilst in Colombia.
