Perpignan supporters are renowned for their fervor in their Aimé-Giral den. With the reception of Pau, a club with identical ambitions, the atmosphere promises to be good in the stands, without reserving a particular bronca for Hugo Auradou who will make his return to the pitches of the Top 14.
“We have set up a nice surprise in the Goutta stand. And when the players arrive, there will also be the return of the smoke bombs. A way to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the group of supporters”. The president of Trabucayres, one of the Catalan supporters’ clubs, promises a warm atmosphere as Aimé-Giral likes so much.
But the event of the day, it will be the return of a certain Hugo Auradou on the lawns of Top 14while the Pau second line is still accused of “aggravated rape in a meeting”, even if a dismissal of the case was filed by the Mendoza public prosecutor’s office. If the latter evolves in the ranks of the Pau Section, no special welcome will be reserved for him, announces Vincent Panabieres: “As supporters, we must not be judges in the place of judges. I think that the Aimé-Giral stadium will have neither a warm nor a cold welcome. We must know reason guarded in this very serious situation if it is proven, and have this in-between I think that the public will know how to keep this happy medium, so that there is no condemnation before a potential conviction.
A difference with the previous Montpellier
The president of this “penya” invites all the Sang et Or supporters present in the Aimé-Giral aisles this Saturday afternoon to take a step back. “We are not a court, but a rugby stadium. If he made a mistake, he will be convicted, otherwise he will be released. We are not here to judge that, but to support Usap. S If he had been convicted, obviously he would have received a more hostile reception, like certain Montpellier players. But we must know how to respect justice. I hope that all Catalan supporters will have an attitude of respect towards the court. presumption of innocence of the player, but also with regard to the alleged victim.”
A measured opinion, which goes in the same direction as the Pau manager Sébastien Piqueronies, when the latter formalized the tenure of the French international : “We will have the same welcome as usual with great fervor from Catalans who are proud of their territory. The public will support their team, and will not support us. But that’s how it is every season.” What is certain is that this match will be one to watch closely, both for its sporting result and for everything that surrounds it.
