The announcement of the sanction made people smile, then shocked. Guilty of throwing cups during the match against Reims (0-3) at the beginning of November, a boy of only six years old was commercially banned from the stadium for three matches by the Le Havre club.
Guest of the show Rothen ignites on RMC, this Tuesday, December 3, the president of Hac Jean-Michel Roussier justified the decision taken by his club. “The sanction could not be more legitimateblurted out the Le Havre president. He (threw cups), bickering or no bickering, I have no idea. You should read the delegate’s report. The latter sees at the 71e minute a Le Havre supporter stands up and throws four cups onto the playing area, between the advertising board and the pitch, next to the assistant referee. Which did not reach the officials. »
“Whether he is 6 years old or 60 years old, it’s the same price”
A gesture with serious consequences since the disciplinary committee is automatically contacted from the moment a match incident is notified in the delegate’s report. Le Havre therefore found itself subject to a financial sanction. “The minimum price per cup is 1,000 bales. So the young man’s little joke would have cost us €4,000 if, it seems extraordinary, we hadn’t seen it on the video surveillance », explained Jean-Michel Roussier.
