Given the controversy generated after this post, and in light of the disparity of comments made so far, wanted to add something more, maybe try to clarify something: To deny that there was no persecution of the Franco regime against Real Betis during English Civil War and later, is a denial largely on the evidence which the author said, by prosecuting them, as there are differing views, while acknowledging the obvious reality of making the Stadium of the 1929 Exposition by Italian tanks and destruction of the Secretariat of the street Bilbao (if by doing so, they were the nationalist troops, also reached the Hotel England). Eye could not be ruled out, but not to say that Mussolini's tanks had been chosen by election of the Mayor Heliopolis then or Sevilla influences of the moment, we have no significant evidence in this regard.
However, I said that elements related to the dictatorships, such as Colonel of Cavalry and ex-goalkeeper of Real Betis, Jose Luis Rodriguez Casso, was secretary of the Institution in 1949, while the General was also Saenz Buruaga an important Betis at the stage of 1953-54, it provided the signing of former Real Madrid Sabino Barinaga, this important piece in the ascent that season.
Maybe I should have including the fact that some may have touches of, say, at this time -1936/39- persecution, but not continuous. The words of Don Juan Petralanda Ochandiano, published in the History of Real Betis Balompié BEA editions 1981, seem to deny such facts in the 40 and 50.
Civil Governor of Seville and Franco recognized, Utrera Molina, was awarded by the Club Betis in the year 1960.
himself Alfonso Jaramillo, was Alderman in the city of Seville for part of the 60's and was invaluable in buying part of the stadium.
The opening of the Heliopolis tram line in 1952, is a timely and important fact, but There were trams in the city in 1910, 20 and 30.
These examples may indicate that the pursuit of the Thirteen Club bars by the regime or items related to it, and perhaps linked with Sevilla FC, was not straight but perhaps sporadic and at specific times, if preferred.
Finally, we can not ignore that, in fact, that Real Betis, from 1918-20, had a social group of working class origin, in fact, some chronic journalist for El Liberal, firecrackers, it said on the composition of the football team "composed of workers" as later letters to the Correo de Andalucía, justifying the lack of response from partners to the rising prices of fertilizers and inputs, by the Directors, headed by D. Antonio Moreno Sevillano, in 1936, as most were working-class youth.
