The last two Coupe de France meetings, Face à Seudre-Océan and CMO Bassens, were played behind closed doors, for security reasons and organizational costs, in view of the conflict between the Ultramarines and the North Gate Bordeaux. For the next round, Bordeaux’s next opponent, the FC Médoc Océan club, does not – either – want their match to be played without an audience.
It is Cedric Narbatethe president of FC Cœur Médoc Atlantique, who spoke about it to Foot Amateur.
“We absolutely want this match to be played with the public. It’s a poisoned chalice. The Girondins de Bordeaux are moving because they have an obligation to intervene. In this type of match, we can accommodate several thousand spectators with a significant revenue. This is not insignificant for a small club like ours. And I believe that we do not have to suffer the consequences of the problem of Bordeaux supporters. In Saumur, in the championship, there were 500 of them at the stadium even though they were banned from traveling. And everything went well! »
Obviously, the manager, who has a meeting on the subject this afternoon, would have the possibility of playing this match in three different stadiums. It remains to be seen whether agreements will be reached between all parties.
