For the first time this season, the Girondins de Bordeaux will be able to benefit from the support of their supporters in the championship. An authorization that disrupts habits within the National, as in Granville.
Incongruous in the National 2 championship, Bordeaux leaves no one indifferent. In each match, the opponents are impatient to challenge the Girondins, but it is also often recalled that the Aquitaine club has, despite colossal debts, the leisure to be able to afford players of a higher level without visibly fearing new sanctions. linked to their revised budget. Before this Saturday evening’s match at Granville, another problem arises for the Manche club. For the first time, the Girondins were allowed to be supported by their away supporters. The authorities did not ban Bordeaux fans from traveling due to the non-aggression pact signed by the two rival supporters groups, the Ultramarines and the North Gates Bordeaux.
Fans who have made peace, but must be separated
As a result, there is chaos in Granville, which is not necessarily the ideal stadium for this experience because it does not have any parking for opposing supporters. As a result, not one, but two parking spaces at two corners of the stadium, 100 meters apart, were installed expressly, with a limited view of the field in the process. “ Creating two parks from scratch also represents a real financial investment, but everything is done to make it pleasant for them too, the idea is not to put them in cages even if there are necessarily constraints security », Explains the communications director of US Granville in Ouest-France. Proof that the non-aggression pact signed by Bordeaux supporters does not engage trust since even the travel of groups of supporters will be in separate convoys. The two groups of supporters will be supported by the gendarmerie in two towns 30 kilometers apart at different exits from the A84 motorway and must not cross paths once during the day on Saturday.
Security constraints, sacrifices also for the local club which reduced the capacity of its stadium to be able to install these two parking spaces, and which must also pay for the security of the organization. 2,500 spectators are expected for the match, and 300 Bordeaux supporters, in a stadium which can hold 3,000 people. Not to mention the smart guys who tried to slip into the sales of the “Monaco du Nord” ticket office, since a Bordeaux fan tried to buy 150 tickets this weekend, before being spotted.
