THE Girondins de Bordeaux have experienced a lot of setbacks for several months and a long fall took them today into the championship of National 2. One of the historic clubs in the French championship is trying to rebuild itself at the fourth national level.
There have been many disappointments for months and Bordeaux supporters have had to let the storm, or rather the storms, pass, even if everything is not yet over today with this legal recovery plan in progress. The club Navy and White has known almost everything. A double administrative demotion last summer, taking him from Ligue
2 au National 2the loss of professional status, a first since the FCGB
had obtained this status. He also saw his training center closed and its occupants forced to find another club. The talents have therefore almost all left. The women also paid a heavy price. Then there was this large-scale social plan, which saw all employees leave, including historic ones…
Despite all this, there are positive points to highlight. The fans’ love for the club remains very strong. You only have to look at the number of people at the stadium for home matches, but also outside where the opposing stands often ring out to Bordeaux chants. This is also reflected in merchandising. Indeed, France Bleu Gironde reports to us in an article that the official store, located on rue Sainte-Catherine, is experiencing major problems with…. stock of jerseys! THE Girondins
still attract and many people want the 2024/2025 version of the jersey.
« We are almost out of stock. What we sold best was obviously the home jerseys in blue and away jerseys in white, hats, scarves, and goodies like mugs. But if you want a jersey, you’ll really have to wait. We were robbed. »
These are the words of one of the saleswomen in the store. And who says jersey availability problems means flocking problems! Some letters are missing, notably for flocking Andy
Carrollthe English striker. The prices are the same as at the professional level and yet, the fervor is very present. No worries apparently since things should return to normal by mid-January. A great club never dies, we could add that neither does the passion of the supporters!
