Times are tough for Bordeaux supporters. Their illustrious club is stagnating in National 2 and they cannot even support it in the different stadiums of the championship.
Motivation and patience, two key words for some but also two tests to complete each week for all Bordeaux supporters. Their Girondins de Bordeaux have been vegetating in National 2 since a chaotic last summer. The financial future of the club still remains up in the air. In this tense climate, recent championship victories are celebrated with a touch of restraint. However, there are still several thousand enthusiasts who have taken over Matmut Atlantique over the past few matches. A huge crowd which testifies to the great popularity of the Girondins. But this is also the consequence of the limited offer for loyal supporters. Because, outside, the situation is very different.
The authorities mercilessly with the people of Bordeaux
In fact, Girondins supporters cannot go to other stadiums. Travel bans have continued since the start of the season. Bordeaux cannot count on its supporters in the small stadiums of National 2 but also in the Coupe de France. This weekend, no Bordeaux supporters are allowed for the 7th round match in Bressuire. This will also be the case for the next championship match in Saint-Malo.
In a week, the Girondins de Bordeaux will challenge the Bretons for an expected shock. Saint-Malo is the leader of group B of N2 while Bordeaux is 5th. But the importance of the meeting did not make the sub-prefect of Saint-Malo more tolerant. The latter issued an order “ restricting the freedom of coming and going of supporters of FC Girondins de Bordeaux on the occasion of their meeting against US Saint-Malo on November 23, 2024 », According to the Foot Amateur website. Enough to deprive The Scapular Club of significant support. However, supporters will not remain frustrated for long with the good free audiovisual coverage of their club this season.
