The biggest derby in France on all fronts.
One month before the reunion between Lyon and Saint-Étienne, two years after the descent of the Greens to Ligue 2, Lyon supporters have already launched hostilities. During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, members of the Bad Gones attacked the store of their worst enemy. In the early morning, the people of Stéphane were able to read some lovely messages, including a scathing one « Death to the Greens » tagged on the club logo, placed next to a Lyon ultras sticker.
Club management wants to file a complaint
Further on, a homophobic insult appears on a poster of boxer Rachid El Hadak, a loyal supporter of the Greens. The surroundings of Geoffroy-Guichard were also targeted. During their nocturnal trip, « Go OL » and « 69 » were tagged on the pylons of the enclosure, before being erased by the Loire club technical teams.
These degradations do not leave the Saint-Etienne management indifferent. The club’s communication indicated that ASSE would file a complaint, and that images from surveillance cameras had been requested from the city, indicates Progress.
