Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
Recently, the Dax club confirmed rumors that the derby against Mont-de-Marsan could be organized in Bayonne, at the Jean Dauger stadium. A fairly unexpected relocation for a derby…Landais, but one that the USD studied carefully. Nothing has been made official at the moment, but this project now seems to be confirmed, as indicated by our colleagues from France Bleu. According to a source close to the Dax club, this exceptional move to Jean Dauger would be “99% sure”.
The club enthusiastic, the municipality much less…
The match would therefore take place on November 16 at 4:30 p.m. This relocation should be extremely beneficial for the Dacquois club, since it could allow the USD to collect no less than 400,000 euros, the Jean Dauger stadium of course having many more seats than Maurice Boyau (almost double). In particular, there could be many more VIP seats sold (2100 compared to 900 in Dax).
But if this relocated match seems to be beneficial to the Dax club, the municipality does not share this enthusiasm. The mayor of Dax already does not understand that a Landes derby is being played in the Basque Country. Then, this will harm the city’s traders, who could have benefited from a large influx of supporters, given the popular success of this derby.
To summarize
The Dax club will experience an important change for a highly anticipated match of the season: the derby against Mont-de-Marsan. This meeting will not be played in Dax, and if the club sees this itch very favorably, this is not the case with the mayor of Dax.
