Even if the RC Lens stadium continues to sell out, the atmosphere would no longer be as good as in past seasons, which worries the supporters.
As always, Saturday afternoon, the beIN cameras will focus on Marek before the Lens-OM kick-off. The famous side stand of the Bollaert stadium will obviously be full and obviously colorful. But will it be as loud as past seasons? Not sure ! Even if today's opponent should encourage supporters to speak out, many feel that the atmosphere this season is not as good as in previous ones. So much so that La Voix du Nord devotes a full page to the subject this Wednesday!
Lille supporters were heard during the derby
The regional daily writes that, against Nantes (3-2) and especially Lille (1-2), the chants of the visiting supporters were heard. A supreme affront in the context of the derby. “Aux Armes” would need two restarts to finally be taken up by the entire stadium. More generally, the songs are not reverberated in the other stands. La Voix du Nord wondered why. The first hypothesis is that the new Marek songs are not known to everyone. Other supporters prefer the classics and don't make the effort to repeat those. There is also the fact that there are more and more “tourists” in the stands, attracted by Bollaert’s reputation. And finally, there is the possibility that the atmosphere in Lens is idealized while only a handful of matches per season would see Bollaert transform into a volcano. Whatever the case, there's nothing like the arrival of OM to encourage everyone in Artois to sing, especially if, like last season, there's a victory with a goal in save time. game !
