Five days after its disappointment at Guingamp (1-3), SM Caen can recover against another Breton opponent. This Saturday, October 5, FC Lorient goes to the Ornano stadium for the 5th day of Ligue 2. If it will move onto the field with the heavy artillery which allows it to be in 4th place in the ranking , he may not be able to count on a strong influx of his supporters.
Indeed, during the trip to Pau, Merlus fans used laser pointers in the stands. They aimed at the cameras in order to disrupt the television broadcast of the match on BeIN Sports. Similar punchy actions have already occurred several times at various Ligue 2 stadiums since the start of the season. A sabotage orchestrated to denounce the planning of most of the championship matches on Friday evening.
On August 24, the match between Lorient and Grenoble was seriously disrupted by various protest movements by supporters against the scheduling of most Ligue 2 matches on Friday evening.

Lorient supporters had already used this stratagem during their trip to Amiens on August 31. Caught by the land police patrol, they were fined 3,000 euros andn closing match with suspension of the visitors’ area for the next match played away, in this case, that of Pau.
As the light disturbances were repeated, the reprieve was revoked and the visitor parking lot will be closed in Caen. However, this does not mean that FCL supporters will not travel this Saturday. In fact, no prefectural decree currently prohibits their arrival.
Even if one were to fall between now and the match, it could be contested by the National Supporters Association (ANS). This regularly manages to obtain the annulment of decisions of the prefectures by referring the matter to the Council of State.
Will there be a Norman-Breton match both in the stands and on the pitch? Answer Saturday, early afternoon at the Michel d’Ornano stadium.
