Quienes somos? (Who are we?)

Bienvenidos al blog de la Peña de San Lorenzo “La Gloriosa” de Warwick, Inglaterra, la única peña de San Lorenzo en el Reino Unido, y según tenemos entendido, la única del fútbol argentino por estas tierras.

Somos un grupo de cuervos que vivimos en alguna parte del Reino Unido (Inglaterra, Escocia, Gales e Irlanda del Norte) o en Irlanda del Sur, y compartimos la misma pasión por nuestro amado Ciclón. La peña se originó con dos propósitos en mente. Primero, para tener un punto de encuentro, físico o cibernético, entre todos los que compartimos la pasión por San Lorenzo y vivimos en alguna de estas islas del Norte. Segundo, para contribuir a diseminar la religión Sanlorencista por estas tierras. Tenemos como objetivo bautizar a cuanta persona con potencial para ser un cuervo de ley exista en estas islas, sin importar su nacionalidad, raza o género. Por esta razón y para captar el interés de nuevos cuervos que no hablen español, gran parte de la página estará escrita en inglés.

Nuestro "Headquarter" se encuentra en Warwick, pueblo histórico del condado de Warwickshire, Inglaterra. Está ubicado a orillas del río Avon, y posee una población de 25,434 habitantes (según el censo de 2001) y se encuentra a 18 kms al sur de Coventry y 4 kms al oeste de Leamington Spa. Si vivís en UK o estas de paso por estas tierras y sos cuervo, unite a nosotros! cuervosdeuk@yahoo.com.ar

English version

Welcome to the San Lorenzo FC Warwick Supporters’ Club

We are the first San Lorenzo FC supporters’ club in the United Kingdom and as far as we know, the first Argentine football team supporters’ club in the UK.

We are a group of San Lorenzo supporters who live somewhere in the UK and Ireland. We share the same passion for our beloved team (which by the way it is the current Argentine champion). Our two main purposes are: a) to have a meeting point - either physical or cybernetic – among all of us who feel the pride and passion of being a “cuervo (crow)” and b) to welcome anyone who wants to join the big and creative group of San Lorenzo supporters in the world, regardless his/her nationality, ethnicity, religion and gender.

Our headquarters are at Warwick, but you can join us regardless where you live. Contact us at: cuervosdeuk@yahoo.com.ar

This is how a Greek "journalists" talked about Ledesma


While I was reading the news in www.goal.com, I found out the following paragraph written by Michael Paterakis from Athens:

"...According to reports, 28-year-old San Lorenzo defensive midfielder, Christian Ledesma, is coming to Greece this week to sign a three-year contract with the Super League winners. That will be his second spell with a European club after a short stint with Hamburger SV five years ago. He has also played for seven Argentinean clubs, including River Plate" Source: http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=362333

Here you have my comments to Michael's report, also posted in www.goal.com:

"Dear Michael, let me tell you that Ledesma is currently well known simply because he played in San Lorenzo, the last great Argentine champion. You should have written the following instead: "He has also played for seven Argentinean clubs, including SAN LORENZO, where he was one of the best players of the current Argentine champions". Why did you add: "includying River"? I inform you, that Olympiacos didn't buy him when he played for River. He was not called to play for the Argentine National team when he played for River, although he is part of the Argentine Natinoal team now that he plays for San Lorenzo. Your comment seems to suggest that you are ignorant about argentine football, and that you believe that argentine football is simple Boca Juniors and River PLate. With this kind of comments, you contribute to feed this fake hegemony!!! There are many other important football clubs in Argentina and it's fair to mention them when they are part of the news. Don't feed the beasts!!! With Regards, Pato"
