The players, coaching staff and referees will then travel together to the ground around two hours ahead of the match. Barça called for calm around the fixture, asking fans "to come to the game at Camp Nou on Wednesday to support the team". The Clasico was supposed to be played on October 26 but the RFEF decided to postpone "due to exceptional causes". Barcelona have historically had a close association with Catalan nationalism, with Camp Nou routinely used as a setting for flags, banners and chants in support of the cause. At a meeting in Madrid last week, the RFEF warned it "will apply the regulations in force," which range from heavy economic sanctions to the closure of Camp Nou to supporters.
