Jean-Charles Dupin, co-president, was naturally shaken by these events, not hiding his fear in the face of this growing violence. An act classified as criminality according to the local gendarmerie.

A municipal decree has been filed by the Town Hall to prohibit access to the stadium. The club, which filed a new complaint, published a press release to confirm it: “The club is bruised and stunned by the escalation of violence which affects us and we need at the moment to ensure the safety of our supporters, players and managers. »
An investigation is underway to try to find out who is angry with the club and/or the managers…
