Despite a disappointing start to the season, AS Saint-Etienne supporters are not the type to give up on their team. The followers of Geoffroy-Guichard take advantage of the end of the suspension of the kops to return en masse. This is not good news for Racing Club de Lens, the Greens’ next opponent in Ligue 1.
AS Saint-Etienne supporters announced their color during the summer. After the rise acquired last season, the Saint-Etienne club broke its subscriber record. No less than 20,307 fans have promised to follow the Greens throughout the season. This historic sale was not necessarily visible at the start of the season. And for good reason, the promoted person was affected by a sanction from the disciplinary committee.
We had to wait until the match against AJ Auxerre (3-1), just before the international break, to see AS Saint-Etienne playing at home in front of its two previously suspended supporters. “ It changes a lot of thingsrejoiced Saint-Etienne defender Léo Pétrot before the match. We saw it against Le Havre (0-2), it’s not the same. The stadium resonates in a completely different way. We need to have all our strengths and this one is essential. It’s just more for us. It gives a lot of energy. Against Lille (1-0), even if they were missing a kop, it’s undeniable that they helped us hold on. »
A sellout against Lens
Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men will therefore be delighted to learn that the Chaudron will be full on Saturday. Indeed, after the sale of additional places this Monday, AS Saint-Etienne has distributed all the places for the arrival of the Racing Club de Lens. The Greens will therefore host a sold-out event, in front of around 37,000 spectators, for the first time this season. Accustomed to the fervor of Bollaert, the Sang et Or know what to expect.
