In 48 hours, PSG will face AS Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France final. There will be 4,000 people in the Stade de France. Indeed the Greens have decided to satisfy their ultras by neutralizing 900 places assigned to them. They will remain as empty as most of the Dionysian walls …
A decision assumed by Roland romeyer (74 years old), chairman of the board of AS Saint-Étienne, with a rather curious argument. “I said that if the Coupe de France final was played behind closed doors, I would stand with our supporters by not going. But there, it will not be a real camera but a very small one. So I will go, with a sad heart. It will not be a final like the others. The Stade de France will ring hollow. But I respect the decision of our fan groups to boycott this meeting because I understand that it is impossible to choose 900 of them among the thousands to occupy the area reserved for us. When we know the weight of our audience, the situation handicaps us more than PSG, comments Romeyer in The Team. In any case, a final remains a final. Last year, I attended the one between Rennes and PSG. The Parisians were leading 2-0 after 22 minutes and who ultimately won it? Rennes. So we believe in it.“
