While the international break has taken place, supporters of ASSE and RC Lens are already worried about the shock of the resumption…
After a catastrophic start to the season, ASSE has regained momentum in recent weeks. If some thought that the underpants against Brest (4-0) then against Nice (8-0) would leave their mark, the Greens reacted in the best possible way with a victory against Lille (1-0), a draw in Nantes (2-2) and a great victory against Auxerre (3-1) in the Cauldron. Result of the races at the start of October, ASSE is now 13th in Ligue 1 and is therefore no longer relegated.
Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men can now attack the international break and prepare for the rest with serenity. ASSE fans can also breathe easy as the fight for maintenance will not be obvious in Forez throughout the season. Next meeting for the Greens, the reception of RC Lens on October 19. A poster which worries supporters of both camps because the risk of a travel ban on Lensois remains a possibility.
The joint press release from Lensois and Stéphanois
Faced with this risk, Lensois and Saint-Etienne supporters have decided to stick together so that Geoffroy Guichard can welcome as many northern fans as possible when the game resumes. To counter a possible ban or restriction on the movement of Lensois, supporters of both camps sent a joint letter to the prefect of the Loire.
“We would like to express our concern about any possible restrictive and unjustified decision on your part”, we can first read in this press release signed by the Red Tigers, the Kop Sang et Or, Lens 1906, the North Devils, the Artois Lens Boys, the Magic Fans, the Stéphanois Independentists, the Union of Stéphanois Supporters, the Green Angels and the Association for the Defense of Stéphanois Supporters.”
“Limiting the participation of supporters in this trip or imposing excessive constraints would not only be unreasonable, but it would also taint the sporting event. We remind you that supporters are essential players in the fervor and atmosphere around sporting events, and their passion should be encouraged and not stifled.”
“Taking repressive and unfounded measures would go against the sporting spirit and the efforts made to ensure the smooth running of the trip. We therefore urge you to exercise wisdom and discernment in your future decisions, taking into account the ongoing dialogue and the agreements already established between the parties concerned. they said. It remains to be seen the choice of the Prefect of the Loire for this shock of the 8th day of Ligue 1…
