Yesterday, the mayor of Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmicpresented, as is traditionally done, his wishes to the press. The opportunity obviously first various topics concerning the city. One of them notably saw the Bordeaux metro, a subject discussed for years, but which the mayor considers expensive and unnecessary due to the extension of the tramway. Moreover, he made a comparison with the Matmut Atlantique where, ten years ago now, he was right.
For Actu Bordeaux, he declared.
“At the time, we were sold a magnificent 40,000-seat stadium and now you see where we are. We call it a white elephant. We realize that it doesn't do much good when we have it on our hands. Then, the metro is good for very dense areas but we cannot say that demographic density is what best characterizes the Bordeaux territory. We are already spoiled for public transport with one of the largest tram networks in France. »
And the transition was perfect with SBA which should file for bankruptcy in a few weeks, impacted by the situation of the Girondins, the loss of naming, etc. The opportunity for the mayor of Bordeaux to discuss a stadium-FCGB “package”.
“The club is not worth much at the moment. I think that with an asset of this nature in the trash, the sale will be easier. »
