Zapping Foot National Coupe de France: Calais, Quevilly, El-Biar, … the greatest exploits of the competition
Good news for the team administratively demoted to National 2. Recently, Bordeaux had seen the prefect of Gironde, Étienne Guyot, have home matches played behind closed doors. And for good reason, tensions between the UB87 and the North Gate had never been so strong. Last weekend, and after a new episode of violence, the UltraMarines Bordelais decided to calm things down by proposing to their counterparts to sign a “non-aggression pact” in order not to penalize the club in the scapular and to continue to be able to support the latter at Matmut Atlantique, or elsewhere. As pointed out by our colleagues from South-West, the Prefecture took a very positive view of this initiative on the part of the main group of Ultras Bordelais, followed by the North Gate.
An approach “which demonstrates the commitment of the signatories to modify over time the irresponsible behavior deplored since the start of the season in order to guarantee a healthy, peaceful and respectful atmosphere within and around the club” according to the prefect. As a result, FCGB will host Stade Rennais this Sunday (2:45 p.m.) with the public, during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. 19,600 spectators will be able to fill the stands of the Girondins, in a match which should be sold out.
To summarize
Good news for the team administratively demoted to National 2. Recently, Bordeaux had seen the prefect of Gironde, Étienne Guyot, have home matches played behind closed doors. And for good reason, tensions between the UB87 and the North Gate had never been so strong.
