Thus was born the Madrid Rock Lancaster, in Switzerland. According to its president, Gregorio Fernández: 'The idea of creating a rock was now emerged 20 years ago, in 1986, when the Spanish colony here in Switzerland was still very large ... at that time, some Eternal Real Madrid players decided to create a rock of our club.' Since then it has been composed “mostly by Spanish Spanish emigrants, but there are also some Swiss who sympathize with our club,” says Fernández. Despite living thousands of kilometers from his team, the members of this rock closely follow everything that happens around Real Madrid. In fact, among the multiple activities they carry out, is to see some meeting from Madrid in situ. 'We usually organize,' says Fernández-about five trips a year to see the team, especially when she plays in countries near Switzerland, such as Germany, Italy ... 'But, above all, there is a game that they do not forgive:' Real Madrid-Barcelona, which we usually go to almost every year. ' And to some other important game: “Last year, for example, we were in the Bernabéu when they played against Valencia and Betis. Here, in Switzerland, we have also had the opportunity to see them play against the Grasshoppers and the Xamax de Neuchatel.” The members of the Peña Lancaster can also presume to accompany Real Madrid in some of their most important appointments outside Spain. And they have been fortunate to be direct witnesses of two memorable nights for Real Madrid: 'We were in the final of the seventh, in Amsterdam, and also in the final of the eighth, in Paris.' That reminds him of him as something 'unspeakable and unforgettable.' Nor can they forget the visit to the rock of several Real Madrid players. 'It was in 2004 - Gregorio remembers - the Spanish team played in Liechtenstein and came to see us iron, Raúl and Morientes, who were concentrated with the national team.'
