The fervent supporters of AS Saint-Étienne are always present, whether the matches take place at home or away. This season, each time the stands are fully open, more than 30,000 spectators have been recorded. The match against Lens on the eighth day was sold out, a first since the end of the previous season, where the stadium had seen several sold-out matches.
In Saint-Étienne, the support is impressive, but it is not limited to Geoffroy Guichard. Greens fans travel in numbers, whether in the areas reserved for visitors or directly in the stands of the opposing teams. Everywhere in France, the presence of green jerseys is noticed during ASSE's trips in Ligue 1.
The Forez club always manages to attract crowds. After three weeks without a home match, ASSE is preparing to return to its stadium this Saturday at 7 p.m. to welcome Montpellier. The Montpellier side, victorious against Brest before the break, hope to secure their first away victory of the season, even if the task promises to be difficult against a Geoffroy Guichard in turmoil.
This weekend, the club announced that it had already sold more than 30,000 tickets for this match, raising the possibility of a sold out by Saturday. Such support could propel the team to a crucial victory. If successful, Olivier Dall'Oglio's men could widen the gap with the bottom of the championship by taking a lead of six points.
