Bad luck hits the Mastiffs this Saturday. Their departure, while their plane cannot leave the ground of Lille-Lesquin airport, is postponed.
“Pitfalls” or even “headwinds”… These terms are fashionable in the North where problems of all kinds have been accumulating since the start of the season. These include the relocation of the first matches of the season, the change of pitch, the schedules which sometimes leave one wondering, the numerous injuries, but also a new whim of destiny.
Supposed to leave the northern territory in order to reach Nice this Saturday evening, the LOSC delegation is grounded and cannot leave, by plane (Embraer 145 chartered by Amelia), Lille-Lesquin airport. Bad weather conditions are mentioned and his departure is, according to information relayed live by the radio France Blue Northpostponed until the next morning, this Sunday very early in the morning. The hazards are still slowing down the Mastiffs, for whom this is not the best way to prepare for a shock against the Aiglons of Franck Haise, whose kick-off will be given this same day at 3 p.m. at the Allianz Riviera.
Such an event is not a first for LOSC which, in 2018, was forced to cancel a friendly match against Real Valladolid for a similar reason. The plane chartered by the northern club was unable to leave in the absence of the necessary certification to take off and land in the fog. Here again, this was not a first… Some will remember a perilous trip to Belarus, to Minsk.
