In an interview devoted to Bordeaux news on October 15, 2024, Laurent Marti recognizes that the setbacks of the Girondins de Bordeaux have “diverted some football lovers towards rugby”, when commenting the historical craze that his club inspires.

It’s true, the UBB records the biggest attendance in the Top 14 for several seasons and for the 2024/2025 financial year, the subscription campaign has reached records with more than 17,000 subscribers. It must be said that the club has had good results since the start of the season and is coming out of a Top 14 final (lost against Toulouse).

“May the Girondins find a president worthy of the name”

“There is necessarily movements from one sport to another depending on success. This summer, we felt that we were getting back some football supporters but it remains marginal, says the president of the UBB. Honestly, I would prefer there to be two flagship clubs in Bordeaux. We are in a metropolis, there is plenty of room. »

Let the Girondins find a president worthy of the name, driven by good intentions, who wants to put his heart into this club, for football, for the city, and you will see that the club will very quickly find a public again. Because Bordeaux remains a football city. She shines far away.

“The Girondins are a historic markwhich brings people 250 to 300 kilometers around Bordeaux. This is not the case for the UBB where we are on a radius of 50 to 100 kilometers max. Then you come across La Rochelle, Pau, Toulouse, Bayonne…” continues the manager.

“The current president is blocking things but as soon as the next president writes a great story, you will see that there will be a big popular success. Even in National 2 because football is a popular sport, which reaches a large audience,” concludes Laurent Marti.
