==Supporters== Commonly called ''Marea Azul'', or ''Azulones'', Getafe supporters have steadily increased in number with the success of the team in recent years. There are 18 ''peñas'' ("supporter clubs") and 12,000 ''socios'' ("associates"). Former Real Madrid player [[Francisco Pavón]] is a well-known Getafe ''socio'', while [[Fernando Alonso]] and [[Rafael Nadal]] have attended matches at the Coliseum in the past. Getafe supporters have grown far beyond the local area and are now known to have fans in Australia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Argentina, Scotland, Denmark, the United States and Mexico. In 2007, a ''peña'' was founded in Venezuela to extend the worldwide club reach. Getafe also created some controversy in 2007 when their season ticket campaign included biblical references of [[Abraham]], [[Moses]] and Jesus sacrificing themselves for the team. The club responded by withdrawing the first scene involving Abraham. Upon important or famous victories, Getafe fans congregate to celebrate at the Cibelina statue in the town centre. Prior to the 2007 Cup final, Torres implored the fans to "tear down the Cibelina" upon victory, promising to pay for a new design. During that final, thousands of supporters rushed to get tickets and packed into the Santiago Bernabéu, yet were vastly outnumbered by ''Sevillistas''. However, those who failed to get tickets – most of which went to season ticket holders for the 2007–08 campaign – were able to watch the match on a big screen in Getafe's central square. Getafe has also a small group of [[Ultras]] supporters, called ''Comandos Azules'' ("blue [[commandos]]"). ===''Zombies Calientes de Getafe''=== In 2011, Getafe released a humorous tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign, pretending to decry the club's relatively small fanbase and encouraging male supporters to [[Sperm donation|donate sperm]] in order to breed more fans.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Burgen|first1=Stephen|title=Getafe fans urged to become sperm donors and breed more supporters|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/aug/19/getafe-fans-sperm-donors|website=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=February 8, 2018|date=August 19, 2011}}</ref> To inspire those donations, the club produced a short [[pornographic film]] called ''Zombies Calientes de Getafe'' ("Horny Zombies of Getafe"), "shot in the style of a 1970s porn film", and delivered it to [[sperm bank|sperm donation clinic]]s in Madrid.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Nudd|first1=Tim|title=Ad of the Day: Getafe (NSFW)|url=http://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/ad-day-getafe-nsfw-134542/|website=adweek.com|publisher=Adweek|access-date=February 8, 2018|date=August 31, 2011}}</ref>
