In the stands, a few minutes before the kick-off of the women’s final, this Saturday 1er June, Elan Chalossais supporters take care to have their roll of toilet paper in their hands. Ready to launch it.
With one hand or two, everyone has their own technique to ensure they send it as far as possible. “We bought 96 white rolls and 48 colored ones,” says Florian, a loyal supporter of purple and blue. Since their victory in the semi-final against Coteaux du Luy, preparations have been made to take part in this Landes basketball “World Cup”.
600 supporters
On the side of Avenir Basket Chalosse, the decision was made not to respect tradition for this meeting in the Plumaçon arenas. “We wanted to innovate,” declares Thibaud, president of the red and white ultras. But above all, we want to ensure that there is no need to interrupt the meeting. »
Instead, the 600 supporters threw streamers and confetti. And even blew a smoke bomb, “even if we don’t have the right,” confides the young man. Mission accomplished when Avenir Basket Chalosse scored its first basket a few moments later.
Again
For the men’s final between Boris Diaw’s Biscarrosse Olympique and ESMS, there too, tradition was respected by only one of the two teams. When the Pays de Born blues opted for confetti, the Chalois club invaded the pitch with toilet paper. And this, several times.
Firstly to celebrate a totally crazy start to the match, then during the match to try to destabilize the opposing players during free throws.
