The Prefect of Rhône publishes an extended decree for OL

It's now official, AS Saint-Étienne supporters are banned from traveling for Sunday's meeting in Lyon. This is now becoming a habit, given France's inability to secure sporting events.

The decree published by the Prefect of the Rhône is particularly copious. It jumbles together incidents concerning other clubs, or past matches unrelated to the derby. Of course, it also covers the numerous incidents involving Stéphanois and Lyonnais, generally outside of confrontations between the two teams.

The result of this four-page decree is therefore a total ban on travel for any person claiming to be an ASSE supporter, or behaving as such, within the perimeter located in the communes of Décines and Meyzieu and delimited through the following channels: rue Sully, route de Jonage – avenue de Verdun – chemin de la Combe aux loups – avenue du carreau – bd du 18 Jun1940 – bd Pierre Mendès France – rue du Rambion – chemin de Chassieu à Meyzieu – Chemin de Meyzieu – chemin de Chassieu – rue Voltaire – avenue de France – rue Marceau – rue Sully.

In addition, traffic and parking on public roads are prohibited, on Sunday November 10, 2024 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., to any person claiming to be an ASSE supporter or behaving as such within the perimeter. delimited as follows: quai Jean Moulin – place Louis Pradel – rue Puits Gaillot – place des Terreaux – rue d'Algérie – quai Saint Vincent – pont de la Feuillée – rue Octavio Mey – Montée St Barthélémy – rue de l'Antiquaille – place des Minimes – rue des Farges – Montée du Gourguillon – Montée des Eples – Place de la Commanderie – Quai Fulchiron – Abbé Couturier footbridge – Rue Sala – Quai Gailleton – Quai Jules Courmont – Quai Jean Moulin.

In all likelihood, a Ministerial decree should support this prefectural decree. It is not yet this season that AS Saint-Étienne supporters will discover the Groupama Stadium. Since the 2012-2013 season, at Gerland, the authorities have refused to manage the movement of a few thousand supporters over 70 kilometers.
